Having Money. Can You?

Back in the office this week after a family trip down to the Florida Keys. We had a good time despite some rainy conditions down there. Oh, and pretty sure the RV blew a manifold gasket on the final stretch home. Always something with those things. šŸ˜‚ But, got a ton to catch up on…

The Need For Speed

You know, itā€™s funnyā€¦ Down here in Florida, weā€™ve had a long span of super dry weather. Pretty much drought conditions. Been looking forward to rain. But thenā€¦ Mother nature picked the week we had a family RV trip scheduled to the Florida Keys to unleash. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø So, yeppers. Weā€™re down here in the Keys….

Always funny how much we can get done when thereā€™s a looming deadline. šŸ¤£ Got a short trip coming up (RV trip down to the Florida Keys) next week and Iā€™ve been getting so much done! Two reminders for me are: Anyway, thatā€™s mostly non-business stuff Iā€™m referring to. When it comes to the business…

Defeating Perfectionism

Well, this week, I turn 46. Not really a big deal to me. But, for just a second, I had a realizationā€¦ Iā€™ve been working online for 26 years now. šŸ˜± Un-freakin-believable. Actually, I was making websites earlier than that. But, they sucked. šŸ˜‚ Anybody remember Geocities and the Netscape browser? Yeah, those were the…

Well, at this point, I should debate whether to call this issue ā€œthe Afternoon WPā€. šŸ¤Ŗ Yeah, Iā€™m a wee bit late on this one. The family and I were out for a weekend RV trip and I decided not to bother using my time there to pre-write the newsletter. And this morning I had…

Stop Overcomplicating

Canā€™t believe weā€™re in May already. And Florida being Florida, weā€™re getting our 90F+ degree afternoons again. Starting to use the pool again. That time of year where we have to pay the price for the multiple months of awesome weather down here. But heyā€¦ I was born here, so Iā€™m used to it. šŸ˜Ž…

Google Is Killing Sites?

Hello, my friends. Ready to kick off a new and productive week? In this morningā€™s issue, I want to vent a little about Google and the supposed ā€œhelpful content updateā€. A lot of people have been saying their traffic dropped substantially starting last year when this update came out. Butā€¦ I think we just need…

Happy Monday! Well, unless youā€™re sending off your tax check today. Tax day it is, which means we need to make sure our annual extortion checks are off to the IRS. After all, those ā€œpublic servantsā€ donā€™t become multi-millionaires for nothing. šŸ¤¬ But, pop that thing in the mailā€¦ and letā€™s get on with making…
