Not by knowing the right people…. Not by picking the right target market…. Not by having a killer website…. Not by having a great podcast…. Not by paying a bounty ($$$) to every person who sends you a referral…. Not by being funny/great/helpful on Twitter or social…. How do you do it? You get more referrals by making it easy for people to send you referrals.

One of my clients wants to use shared services “teams” as they start their agile transformation. Their developers work on a product for months and years at a time. However, the testers and UI people are part of pools of people. The organization calls these testers and UI people, “shared services.” Shared service-thinking denies the reality of effective product development: A cross-functional team learns together as they develop the product.

I was having a conversation with one of the people I mentor. This person was in a new job, working incredibly long hours, and was exhausted. I shared the following idea: Know Your Own Limits. Every living being in the universe has limits. As human beings, we can only work so much before we start to fall apart. There’s only so much sleep deprivation we can handle before we start to fall apart.

I had great fun with Cherie Silas and Alex Kudinov on their podcast, “Keeping Agile Non-Denominational.” Listen to Unfreezing the Frozen Middle. You've seen or heard about this problem: Senior leadership says, “Yes we need agility!” The teams say, “Yes, we got the agile goodness here!” And the middle managers? They're stuck.

Much has been said about the value of pursuing dreams. Some say that the purpose of life is to pursue your dreams. Others say that pursuing dreams is an unrealistic, self-indulgent waste of time. My take is. wait for it. it depends. :). [I know, I know. that’s a classic consultant answer that can never be proven wrong. but it’s true!]. Okay, let me explain.

While at university, the most basic form of assessment of new skills learned is through the completion of homework assignments. During lectures, students learn new formulas, memorize methods, or practice more advanced techniques. They then apply their newfound knowledge to a set of problems outside of the classroom. Once a solution is reached, the submission is graded, and the student receives a score on how well they learned and implemented this new skill.

In the latter half of the 1960s, a massive disruption was underway in the US fashion industry. Before WWII, America dominated the globe in garment manufacturing, employing over 2 million people. After the war, that all changed, from where garments were made to who designed them. By 2000, only about 2% of Americans' clothing was made in the US. Amidst all this change, women in the garment business saw an opportunity.

I don’t know about you, but every time I load up a sales page for a course on lead generation for freelancers/consultants, they start slamming referrals in the first few paragraphs. Is it that referrals are a terrible option for getting leads? Honestly, it’s that people, on average, do referrals so poorly that they’re an easy target. But if you invest a little time, attention, and effort, it’s easy to be outstanding with your referrals.
