If you own, or work on a website for a living, you’re probably obsessed with driving traffic.
You employ SEO best practices throughout your website, slave constantly to pump out blog posts, spend countless hours engaging with people on Facebook, tweet till your thumbs go blue and even spend a few, if not many, thousands of dollars advertising with AdWords.
Is your to do list a mile long? Perhaps your plate is more than full, it’s overflowing.
If so, it might be time to start saying “no,” and making choices about what you’re not going to do.
At first this may seem counterintuitive, however making a conscious decision to say “no” can often be just as important as Continue Reading…
When was the last time you received a handwritten thank you note? If you’ve received one in the past year or two, you’ll almost certainly remember who sent it and why.

For about as long as I can remember I’ve asked myself and continually tried to evaluate what’s important to me, or more specifically, what I’m passionate about.
