Vimeo, and their BS!

Vimeo, and their BS!
I've been using Vimeo to host my videos for many years, and have been happy with their service. I even toyed with their live streaming tier for a while.

Don't be 'salesy'

People always gravitate towards good art. The constant battle to 'game' the algorithm is all in vain. Nothing will work, no matter what you do to your post, page or bio.

If you're liked by everyone, you're not being yourself

It's great to be liked by everyone around you. But if you're appeasing, how is that being genuine?

We struggle

We struggle to keep our day free of distractions.‍ We struggle to find quality time for our loved ones.‍ We even struggle to find answers to easy questions.‍

Pay it forward

Have you ever thought, "This should have been a Podcast!" I know I have!‍ I've had so many GREAT conversations with so many different people.

Is it vanity, metrics or both?

Is it vanity, metrics or both?
I'm not for metrics, never have been, although there was a time, many moons ago, that I wanted to know everything that happened on my site. But looking at the numbers gave me anxiety!

The pressures of making daily videos

If you're a follower, you're probably aware that I produce videos for my business, but I'm often asked about how I'm able to make them daily.

When you know your audience...

This is an ongoing theme with online marketing, and I've come to realise I need to adhere to this rule, because my content marketing, emails and the things I post have been all over the place, even though it's still tech-related.

Great podcast about managing client expectations

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever let your clients dictate your working hours. Set your daily work hours, just like a business should and always does, and close your doors at the time.

Copywriting done right

Copywriting done right
Basecamp is a company I follow very closely, not only because I use their products, like Basecamp & HEY, but for their amazing knack for writing copy that draws you into the product, and makes you understand it quickly, with no sales-y' BS!

Moving forward

Moving forward
In this live stream, I go over the shit-storm that has been in 2020, specifically how it's affected everyone in the tech space. Also, I go over the mistakes I've made and how I will be moving forward.

OMG, I love my clients!

OMG, I love my clients!
I'm so humbled to receive a message like this, so I just had to share it!

Where I stand on email tracking and security

Where I stand on email tracking and security
Today will be the last day I use tracking on my email newsletter because I don’t believe anyone needs to know that much information about you or anyone else.

How are you feeling today?

How are you feeling today?
Today's Weekly Wednesday newsletter was sent, and the response has been, well, pretty amazing! It just goes to show that simplicity does work.

Using Notion for social media outreach (mini CRM)
Yesterday I was doing some outreach on LinkedIn and needed to take notes on whom I had contacted.

Membership launch!

Membership launch!
I’m so excited to launch my Membership program! I’ve been working on it for a while now in beta and it’s being received really well, so today I’d like to share the launch with you.

Don’t be in the wrong room

Don’t be in the wrong room
I don’t consider myself to be a fanboy in any shape or form, but when I learn something from someone I respect and love the work they do, it might come just across that way.

I’m very proud to announce...

I’m very proud to announce...
After months of thinking about it, endless days trying to figure out what it should be about and countless Red Bulls, cigars, shots of whiskey, bars of chocolate, (some of that is a lie, I’ll you figure out what ones), I’ve managed to put together a great Tech Minimalism Video Course!

New tools & the new Dojo

New tools & the new Dojo
Stop looking for new tools that you think will ‘automagically’ help you do more this year. It’s not out there! But there is a way to do it. Just try to make your system/workflow better then look for the right tool to help you accomplish your goals.

2020

2020
A new year, a new decade and a new beginning, I hope the coming year will be as fantastic for you as it will be for me!

Yearly review

Yearly review
Doing a yearly review is a great way to look back and see how far you’ve progressed (or failed) to make the coming year ten times better!

Last Christmas

Last Christmas
It’s the last Christmas of the decade, and today I look back on the reasons why I don’t celebrate this time of year. Also, I have big plans for the next decade and will share my thoughts, work/life balance & the whole journey with you.

I’m sorry

I’m sorry
I messed up, and I’m genuinely sorry. Just a selfish video to myself.

Man flu & business

Man flu & business
Good, it's Friday. I need to recover and shake off my 'man flu' over the weekend. Being sick while running a business is tough, but sometimes we just have to buckle up and get on with it, right?

Coach vs consultant

Coach vs consultant
Last Monday I was asked how I would describe myself. Now I don't like to pigeonhole but I have always thought of myself as a Consultant. However, in recent times I think I’m more of a Coach than a Consultant. This is my explanation of how I define the two. How would you define the difference between a Coach and a Consultant?

Security, privacy & GDPR

Security, privacy & GDPR
If you're running any kind of business you NEED to be aware of GDPR, if your thinking "It won't happen to me" then you're making a BIG mistake! In this live stream, I'll be showing you a list of companies that have been prosecuted, and we're not only talking about the big organisations here, we're also talking about the smaller ones like you and I are running to! I also go through a few easy steps on how you can safeguard yourself from this law.
