Getting Paid for Existing vs the Great Thanksgiving Hoax

My Friend Ja-Nae Duane posted a link to a HBR article on Google Plus this morning: Tackling Business Problems We’ve talked about this since the financial meltdown. Now it’s time to do it: Unlink pay from performance. The evidence keeps growing that pay for performance is ineffective. It also may induce executives to take company-killing [...]

Premium Content

Why Premium Content?

Because you get what you pay for. It's as simple as that. And if you aren't willing to pay even $1.49 a month for focused, actionable training then I am not going to bother writing for you. All of the free stuff is still available, just type something in the Search box on the right side over there.

When you are ready to learn something and make your small business grow then you will subscribe to the Premium Letters and I will know that you are serious. Let's get serious together.

The Weekly Letter covers topics such as:

How you can use Social Media today to get more business

Productivity practices that make you more effective

Powerful "How tos" like How to Blog, How to Use Facebook, How NOT to act like a douche. Stuff like that.

The Monthly Letter is less than a full-scale consultation, it's a micro-coaching session – with feedback – on skills and knowledge that affect your business.

What people say about us

"I’m going to be honest, I was really skeptical about the impact of this stuff. That said, I really believed that Stephen and Brad were sincere so I gave their this course a shot. The simple suggestions they provide really worked. My consulting business now comes up number one on Google in a search for its name and number two in a search for my name. I did not even implement everything discussed! This is a great tool for anyone looking to increase their relevancy in the greater internet marketplace.”

Patrick Rhone

“Stephen worked with me to create a Welcome page to help increase the Likes on my Facebook page. He suggested the offer, added a photo of me he found on my site, and also suggested slight changes to my copy.

He turned everything around really fast and made the entire process super easy.

I had been dreading making these changes because I assumed I'd have to go find someone on eLance, which is often a time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Stephen responded immediately to my request for help that I put out on Twitter and without a lot of hard sell.

I will definitely use him again as well as recommend him to clients.” November 8, 2011
