Why You Need a Community to Successfully Build Your Platform
When I was young, a boy could get a copy of D.C. Beard’s American Boy’s Handy Book, and girls could get The American Girl’s Handy Book (though I knew less about that one for obvious reasons).
Books like these and many others, including the more recent Dangerous Book for Boys, provide tons of information on all sorts of projects.

Which of These 5 Platform-Building Stages Are You In Now?
If there is one frustration that I hear more than any other from people working on their platform, it’s that they’re not going far enough fast enough. They get stuck on being stuck and discouraged whenever someone goes flying by.
If you’re one of these people, you’re in luck. My grandson Jonah has the answer.
He’s only three years old but zooms past older kids at the park on his little two-wheeler. Unlike a lot of those older kids, he doesn’t have training wheels on his bike. They’re astonished when he zips by, peddling like he’s going to win the Tour de France.

#088: What CEOs and Other Leaders Must Do to Create a Values-Driven Organization [Podcast]
My first big corporate job came with lots of perks. But after just a few weeks, I noticed some disturbing behavior among my peers and the company’s leadership.
I eventually came to the conclusion that my values just didn’t sync with the company’s. We were on a collision course. I knew I had to find a company that shared my values—or start one.

How I Increased My Income by 250% While Spending More Time with Family and Friends
When I left the corporate suite at Thomas Nelson I planned to write and speak full time. And that’s exactly what I did at first. One year in fact I gave over 40 keynotes. It felt great! It also felt totally, utterly, completely exhausting.
I had come to the realization that, even as an executive in a major corporation, ultimately all of us are freelancers. Some just have more customers than others. And the more customers you have the better chance you have at thriving in uncertain times.

5 Reasons You’re Not Getting Traction with Your Platform
Whenever I talk with bloggers, podcasters, and other online platform builders, they express a common frustration: they are not seeing their audience grow. They seem to be stuck at their current level.
For example, one of the most popular features at my daughter Megan and I review one of our member’s platforms, including their website(s) and social media channels.
