Are you working on a website (or know you need to) but are stuck because you can't seem to find the words for your copy that describes what you do and the value that you create? Don't worry - you are not alone! Lots of super-smart consultants and coaches (who are new to business ownership AND who have been it for a while) have a hard time writing about themselves.

A success mindset involves your attitudes, feelings, values, and beliefs about yourself. As a result, you are a success regardless of the current circumstances, wins or losses, victories or defeats. Success is not a cookie-cutter, once-in-a lifetime idea. It’s not about money, position, influence, or power. It’s not a journey or destination.

Put simply, there are two reasons why organisations use the services of consulting firms. Either there’s a specific capability that they need but don’t have in-house, or they’re short of capacity but don’t want to or can’t recruit. Developments of the last 30 years have swung the pendulum of client needs towards capacity, but is the current crisis changing that?

I've spoken professionally at conferences for 25 years. I enjoy it. And, several people—all men, so far—have suggested I should “make room” for other voices. To me, that's a solution in search of a problem. I ask them what problems they want to solve. They want speakers who are: More diverse in gender. More diverse in color. I'm not sure what other diversities they're looking for.

Most people see the world through the lens of success vs. failures, or winners vs. losers. While our world certainly has competitive aspects to it, it’s worthwhile to ask the following: Is it useful? Is it useful to think in terms of success versus failure? Is it useful to think of winning versus losing? Regardless of whether such paradigms are true or not, consider whether adopting these perspectives improves the quality and achievements of your life.

Reading Time: 6 minutes. What is essential for successful marketing mix modeling? Regardless of method, MMM can be successful only if accurate and highly specific data are available upon which the modeling can be based. The greatest barrier to successful modeling is always a lack of relevant, specific, accurate data. So, the first step in any modeling effort is designing the data warehouse that will support the modeling.

Stop viewing remote speaking as a disadvantage and of less value. Make a case that it’s more valuable. The speaking profession took a hit because most “professional speakers” are also lousy marketers (they give advice that they can’t follow themselves.). The client has fewer expenses, the logistics are easier. Be proactive: 1.

I have been around for a long time. Made some noticeably big decisions that have made some investors and myself a lot of money. But I have also made a lot of mistakes. Fortunately, not enough to sink the ship. And luckily some of them have turned out to be valuable lessons. So when someone asked me to write about those mistakes, I told them that I could literally write a book because I have made dozens of them…some big, some bad, and eventually, either repairable, avoidable or important lessons

I get a lot of emails from people who are totally new to the world of business. They want to learn everything they need to know, and they want to learn it fast. My advice is usually to start reading The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Fortune magazines while Googling any terms or concepts you don't understand. It occurred to me that this is a somewhat time-consuming process and maybe not the most efficient if you’re trying to learn in just a few days.

Should I use my personal website as a blog? Yes. I’ll even take it a step further: the main focus of your personal website should be your blog. Good personal websites clearly explain who you are and what you do. Great personal websites clearly explain who you are, what you do — and how your work can benefit others. Your blog is the best way to share your story, your experiences, and your advice.

When we needed to rapidly move to remote work status several months ago, for many of us, it was just a matter of working more from home than normal. We had the capability to access all or the bulk of our work files and systems remotely. For others, it was a matter of grabbing what files and equipment you thought you’d need for a few weeks and then heading home to then figure out how to: serve your customers while using your personal devices, identify ways to access the company’s network of digit

In case you missed my last post: Exactly when do buyers buy? You probably have a segment of people in your Outlook/Gmail contacts and LI connections who you hear from on a regular basis. And another, likely much larger, segment of people who you rarely or never hear from. Would you still consider this latter group to be a potential source of new business?

It may have been published 20 years ago, but David Maister’s seminal book, The Trusted Advisor, has never fallen out of favour with consultants. Its deceptively simple formula—highlighting the importance of expertise and reliability, for example, while reminding them of the dangers of self-interest—neatly encapsulated the essence of consulting. But how relevant is it in the current crisis?
