I’ve seen it at presentation after presentation. A speaker will say something funny, and the audience will laugh. Not some pathetic laugh, but a nice big laugh will erupt from the crowd. And the speaker continues speaking, almost cutting out the sound of the laughter. And if you’re a speaker, all you’re doing is being […]

How To Deal With Refunds
How “do” you deal with refunds? Here’s how we deal with refunds. Technically speaking, any product has a 30-60 refund policy. And legally speaking, you’re within your rights to stick to your policy if you choose to do so. After all, when a customer agrees to the purchase policy, they’re “signing a virtual contract”. But […]
Why An Audience Matters (More Than Talent)
I was lousy at marketing. Well, let’s put it this way: I was (and still am) an outstanding cartoonist. And marketing was nowhere close to being my forte. I’d write, but I’d agonise over it. The only thing that kept me going was the audience. Audiences are needed…and not just for those who are struggling […]
Should You Share Your Philosophy With Your Clients?
If my estimate is right, you should be reading this blog about the exact time I’m speaking in Chicago (at the System Seminar). And my presentation is about ‘How To Increase Prices (Without Losing Customers)’. So what’s philosophy got to do with conversion? And should you put in philosophy into a conversation with clients? That’s […]
The Picasso Principle
There’s a story (true or false, I don’t know) about the famous artist, Pablo Picasso. It seems a woman came up to him and asked him to sketch something on a piece of paper. He sketched it, and gave it back to her saying: “That will cost you $10,000”. She was astounded. “You took just […]

Why You Need To Stop Talking About The Economic Crisis Right Away
Ok, so I goofed. I said ‘economic crisis.’ But listen to me. Stop it. Stop talking about it. Stop talking about it, because bad as it is/will be, everyone is fed up already. Yes, even though I’ve been rambling about the crisis in earlier posts, the time has come to stop it. Because everyone is […]
Why Connection Is Way More Important Than Content
So let’s assume you’ve had a crappy day. A really, really crappy day. Do you write a blog post on a crappy day? If you listened to all those people around you, they’ll all chorus a big “NOoooooooooooooo!” You should only write when you’re happy, and excited, they say. You shouldn’t write when you’re sad. […]
Three Minutes That Saves You Three Hours
I wake up every morning at 4am. And before I know it, it’s 7am. At 7am I take stock of what I’ve done Some days I’ll whistle through two or three articles, answer questions on the 5000bc forum, post on this blog, and even go through chunks of email, and sometimes I even have time […]
Wasting Time vs. Time Well Wasted
You probably haven’t realised it. But there’s a difference between the two. Time well wasted is a good activity. Wasting time is a silly activity. So what’s the difference between the two concepts? And how on earth could either of them be ‘good’ activities? Let’s tackle wasting time So I woke up today, and got […]
