I don’t know where you live, but I’m in Chicago. And this time of the year, October, November, I tend to call it 50 Shades of Gray. Not like the book. It’s the clouds in the sky. Every single day is gray and cloudy, or rainy and cold. I really miss the sun. Have you…
If I was to call you stupid how would you feel? You’d probably be offended, but I can guarantee, the message would get your attention. I’ll explain that in a bit. The first thing I want to talk about is systems. I just finished writing my fifth book called “Toilet Paper Math“, and it explains…
I’ve been working on my new book, Toilet Paper Math, and last week I talked about the three Ps of thought leadership. Today I want to talk about pu-pu, or the pu-pu platter of content marketing. Hey, what would a toilet paper book be without a little potty humor? Seriously, though, a pu-pu platter is…

In my last Bacon Podcast Interview, episode 469, I had the pleasure to interview Jane Atkinson. Now, Jane is a speaking coach, and a very successful one at that. If you haven’t listened to it, I strongly suggest you do so, whether you plan to speak or not. In the middle of the interview, we…
So, this year (2018) is winding down and the New Year (2019) is screaming at us, saying, “Get ready, get ready!” Hopefully, you have some time to kinda chillax over the holidays. Well, in this post, I want to try to get you to think about some of the things you can do to get…
Out Of Gas Today, I want to talk about mowing your lawn. Now, if you don’t own a home you probably don’t mow your lawn. As a matter of fact, I do own a home, and I don’t mow my lawn. I pay somebody to come and do it for me. What often happens when…
Once again, we’re digging deeper into our perfect marketing strategy for your business. This post is about social proof. What I’m really talking about is social media. It Starts At Home You can have a story, but a story in a box does no good. Nobody sees it, nobody interacts with it, so having a…
