Why I Need to Write Every Day
Why I Need to Write Every Day
The last few months have been been, very busy. The growth in my businesses has been tremendous, and I am feeling grateful. However, the growth has come at a cost. You may roll your eyes at this. “It must be nice” you say, but the cost is significant to me. The success in my companies has come at the expense of my daily writing. The first thing I do when I wake up … For years, my routine has…

What Are You Working For?
What Are You Working For?
Yesterday morning, I was writing my blog post on the kitchen counter like I do most mornings. I turned around to what was a beautiful scene. I snapped a quick picture and posted it on Twitter. By the end of the day, the Tweet had around 300 likes. Then overnight, it must have gone viral. Now almost 2000 people have liked my tweet and many people have left heart warming comments and even…

3 Ways to Plan for Taxes (I Learned This the Hard Way)
I channeled @ramitsethi on this one. These are such important lessons that our system fails to each us. Learn how it works, or you will pay for it.
I have a terrible track record of locking myself out of my back accounts. It happens at least once a month. Yesterday, I finally got back in to my personal business account. I called the bank, I got back into the account, and when I logged I was shocked at the balance. There wasn’t nearly as much money in the account as I thought. What happened? Uncle Sam happened of course. I have…

3 Reasons to Buy a Rental Property Right Now
Real estate has always been something I want to know more about. I'm doing my research and I will share what I find with you.
Two months ago, I sold 2 Bitcoins. I’m sitting on a lot more cash then I feel comfortable with. I am looking for ways to put this money to work. One of the options is for Jules and I to finally start building a portfolio of rental properties. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve discovered some obvious, but important openings that I think could be helpful to you as well. Here are three…

Why the "A-D-S" Philosophy is a Must for Your Business
Why the “A-D-S” Philosophy is a Must for Your Business
The last month has been challenging but rewarding. I’ve encountered two major problems in my life and my businesses. I wrote about them a bit a few weeks ago. They are as follows. As a team, we have slowly fallen away from our ideology of automate, delegate, and systematize (A-D-S). – This created some real workflow blockages in Stodzy. The team was working too many hours and everyone was…

You Should Always Choose the Simple Option
You Should Always Choose the Simple Option
I’ve been having a hard time making a decision. Yesterday, the answer came to me. I would like to first explain to you my conundrum, and then break down why I am making the choice that I am. Here goes… For Copyblogger Pro, I have a sophisticated sales process that gives me many creative options for marketing. The current system is fancy, but it keeps breaking. I’m spending more time fixing this…

Why You Need to Focus on $10,000 an Hour Work
Why You Need to Focus on $10,000 an Hour Work
Every once in a while I re-read an article written by my twitter buddy, Khe Hy. The article is called The magic of doing 10k work. In the article, Khe references many of our natural behaviors that make us feel good, but don’t actually move the needle in terms of progress we’ve made. Khe references a visual quadrant he conceptualized. It’s very similar to Stephen Covey’s Urgency / Importance…

Prevention is the Ultimate Health Tech Opportunity
Prevention is the Ultimate Health Tech Opportunity
Last week, I got yelled at on Twitter for saying ” we don’t have a healthcare problem, we have a health problem.” Twitter is dangerous because there is no room for nuance. When I saw how upset people got about it, I started to feel bad. I took some time to step back and clarity for myself the context behind my point and the message I was really trying to get across. What I came up with is that…

Twitter Buys Revue, the Subscription Based Newsletter Platform
"This creates a flywheel effect where Revue users get the added benefit of Twitter promoting Revue through their platform, which in turn will promote the independent publications."
In recent years, the subscription newsletter industry has become increasingly popular, as content creators are looking for ways to monetize that don’t require ads or products. Subscription based newsletters are great businesses for the journalist / writer who wants the content itself to become the product. I wrote about this in more detail last year on how to create a profitable newsletter. It…

Gaming as a Service and the Future of Microtransactions
Roundhill investments (I’m an investor) wrote a fascinating article about the new and emerging revenue models that are used and implemented by the gaming industry.
Video games used to be purchased as products. To play a video game, you needed to also purchase a console and the game would come in the form of a compact disk or a cartridge. When you bought a game, you purchased a final product.…

Why Haven't Home Prices Gone Down During Covid?
Why Haven’t Home Prices Gone Down During Covid?
Over the last two years, my wife and I have been stockpiling a bit of cash in hopes of adding real estate rentals into our financial portfolio.
I’ve been doing my best to learn about real estate and have been keeping my eye on the market in hopes of finding a well priced home that I could acquire and turn into a rental. Over time, Jules and I plan to build a real estate portfolio as well as a…

All the Things These Mountains Have Seen
All the Things These Mountains Have Seen
We’re on our way to The Grand Canyon.
When you look at The Grand Canyon, it’s hard to fathom how long it took for a river to carve out that endless chasm.
In our travels, one of the things that always comes into my mind is how long these wonders of nature have existed for.
In Norway, especially Lafoten, I kept wondering how much those mountains have seen. They’ve seen dinosaurs, ice…

If You Can't Control Your Mind, What Can You Control?
If You Can’t Control Your Mind, What Can You Control?
A few days ago, on the drive from Portland to Gold Beach, Jules and I listened to the Tim Ferris podcast with Yuval Noah Harari. In the episode, Yuval talks about his daily meditation practice.
Yuval mentioned how the first time he tried to meditate, he couldn’t focus on his breathing for more than 5 seconds before something else would pop into his mind.
What do I need to do today?

Morning Meditations
I’ve been waking up very early.
Maybe it has something to do with the time zone change. I’m not sure. I’m sleeping fine, but as soon as I wake up, my mind is already going 100 miles an hour.
I find that the mornings are when I get my best work done. It’s when I feel most focused and alert.
However, over the last few months I have found myself diving right into work without taking the…

How Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are Documenting the Journey
How Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are Documenting the Journey Thanks to @JoePompliano for the inspiration and the picture.
Note – I highly recommend reading this Twitter thread by Joe Pompliano for more details on the financials and the deal structure of this story.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are buying Wrexham AFC, a fan owned Welsh soccer club.
Wrexham is currently in 14th place in the 5th tier of English football, meaning they aren’t good and don’t have much upside.
But get this…
