99 Resources to Make Your Personal and Business Life Hum
Some say I’m a gadget-guy. (You know who you are.) I don’t know about that, but I am definitely a tool guy. The right tool can make me more efficient and save hours of my time.
For example, a few years ago, I stumbled on a simple software tool to create beautiful—and elegant—3D book covers (like the one above). Previously, I tried to create these in Photoshop, but I just didn’t have the skills to pull it off.

What Are Your Options When You Are About to Miss a Big Goal?
We’re about 50 percent short of our goal, Dad.” My oldest daughter, Megan, had just called to brief me on our recent new membership campaign for Platform University. It was day four of an eight-day promotion. My heart sank.
Number of New Memberships by Day
I don’t like missing goals. Our campaign target was to add one thousand new members to the site. Based on previous experience, we should have added five hundred members by the end of the fourth day. We were at 256.

Stop Trying to Be a Superhero and Find Virtual Freedom (in 3 Steps)
In late 2009 I hit burnout. I’d been working sixteen-hour days, six days a week. I was spending hardly anytime with my beautiful wife, or our three children, whom I love more than anything in the world.

No New Podcast This Week [Announcement]

No New Podcast This Week
I am not posting a new podcast today. I came down with laryngitis over the weekend and lost my voice. I was unable to record my show on Monday as usual.
Thankfully, my voice started returning a bit yesterday. I was able to do my webinar last night, but, if you attended, you know I still sounded pretty rough!
Thanks for your patience and support. I look forward to connecting with you next week. In the meantime, you might want to check out an episode you missed by clicking here.

Don’t Miss the Opportunity to Build Your Platform Faster—Registration Closes Tonight!

If you can’t see this video in your RSS reader or email, then click here.
It’s no different now—though today effective platforms are made out of things like blogs, Twitter, and podcasts, rather than nails and boards.
