It’s painful… I feel like I have this conversation over and over and over again. And yet, at the same time, I keep hearing from people who clearly need to hear it all over again. If you’re selling something that people don’t want to buy, you will fail. You won’t get...
I’ve deleted two versions of this essay so far, and now have 30 minutes to finish it for you… Sometimes, that’s how I roll. Because I’m not going to send you crap wrapped up in cellophane, and think it’s somehow doing you good. Here’s what I really want to write about...
It’s Monday, and I hope you’ve made it a great one. You can wake up, on a Monday, and dread the day — and the week. I imagine it’s dreadful if you’re going to a dead-end job where you’re in it for the weekend, and just to get a paycheck. But I actually like my work. ...
Today’s Video Friday is about how to stand out and shift the entire direction of a market… It’s something that the world’s greatest, most innovative businesses have done either intentionally or instinctively… And it’s something that YOU can do if you want to get more...
Anybody that tells you success is easy is lying to you… And anybody that tells you success is complicated has something to sell you… Success isn’t easy. It’s hard. But it’s not complicated. It’s simple. An analogy… Imagine that we rewound the clock by 200 years. ...

Happy Monday from snowy Nebraska! There’s a blizzard of snow swirling outside, but I’m keeping warm in my home office. And since my mailbox is digital, I don’t even have to put my boots on to check it. So let’s dive into Mailbox Monday. But I will warn you… This is a...
Do you have a word of the year for 2018? Applying this concept in 2017 was a critical part of moving my business one huge leap forward in 2017, with the launch of BTMSinsiders… And over the coming year, I expect to achieve even bigger things… In today’s Video Friday,...
There are two fundamentally different paths to success in a service business… The first is to find and close all the hot leads… The second is to sell to everyone else… Closing hot leads: The lazy copywriter’s way to riches? Again, copywriters make great punching...
Most people are freaking lazy… Including me. We just want an easy button. We don’t want to have to do the work. We want the result, and we want it now. And when it doesn’t happen that way, we’ll invest more energy into whining and complaining about how the world...
Nearly 100% of the time I’ve been approached on LinkedIn, they do it wrong… I frequently get approached by people on LinkedIn, who want me to hire them. For a whole mix of things. Mostly business services (like writing), and sometimes even as a contractor/employee....
This week will be all about client-getting… This isn’t the “official” announcement. I’m nailing down a couple details. But I’m about to announce a big members-only webinar for BTMSinsiders members, introducing a brand-new client-getting system I’ve never taught...
Today’s Video Friday is all about achieving your goals. Not, specifically, about the kind of New Years Resolutions goals that everybody just put out there. But how to make a huge impact on the world. I share with you the two areas that most people don’t focus on...
