I have a big media conference I’m attending this week. The good news is I don’t have to travel for it. It’s actually being held up the street from my apartment. The bad news is I haven’t looked at the schedule yet. Fortunately, I’m a pro at having a productive conference experience, even while pressed […]
After avoiding it for as long as I could, I finally upgraded my phone. You see, my business is to a point where I need several apps to help me run it. In my case, it’s mostly social media apps because I’m a blogger. However, there are also plenty of productivity apps I use to […]

I already barely take meetings for clients (unless it’s business coaching), so it only makes sense to move this over for my internal team. Granted, I still have meetings. I have meetings with my agent and my PR people. […]
At the time of writing this, it looks like I’m going to be traveling for client work this month. I will also be traveling to a business retreat the following month and a wedding the month after that. After taking a hiatus from traveling, it seems as if I once again have a busy travel […]
Hours and hours are wasted every week on unproductive meetings. And that’s time that could be spent on other important business initiatives to better move a company forward.
