Fuh…*smack*

We don’t use words like that in this family.

Welcome to Bending Pink Steel (aka why this little project might change your life)

He’s beginning to believe.

Two-thirds through the first Matrix movie, Neo is at a crossroads. A homeless-guy-now-agent walks towards him, and Neo has to decide.

Turn around and run away in the hopes of maybe (but likely not) making it to another phone before the whack agents get him.

Or stay.

Face the agent head-on.

Lean into this whole you’re the one crap and see what happens.

If you've watched the movie, you know what happens next: a duffel bag of kickass. Sure, Neo comes within an inch of death, bu...

Who Are Kajabi Competitors: Top 8

This will not be a bipartisan, neutral review of Kajabi's competitors. Why not? Because there are plenty of those online already.

Instead, I want to offer you my honest opinion as someone who has sold courses on 3 of these platforms and built websites on 2 others. I’m not an expert. I know next to nothing about coding (my degrees are in history and education!).

What I do have is experience and a perspective you might find valuable.

This article will lay out the essential facts about 8...

How To Build a Kajabi Membership Site

I first heard about membership sites a decade ago. The world of online business was evolving into a mature market as people became more comfortable with the idea of spending money on the internet.
