Jeremy sent an article this morning on video games that I found to be interesting. I feel like video games can be a blessing and a curse. They are a blessing when you can control the amount you play them, and they help to develop your brain in positive ways. Video games are a curse when you become addicted to the extent that you neglect your real life.… read more “Video Games / Real Work”

I really liked this surgeon’s view on death.

I think that our society’s rush to keep every person alive no matter what the cost is actually a terrible decision. When you have individual cell’s in your body that do anything they can to survive, that’s called “Cancer”.

Think about it this way: a ten year old who breaks his leg is something absolutely worth treating and helping to recover – he will be valuable to society for 70 more years and fixing a broken leg costs under $5,000.… read more “Surgeons View of Death”

I have been drinking blender drinks for about 6 or 7 years now on a daily basis. I feel like they help keep me much healthier than I otherwise could be. Generally, they just consist of:

After I get ~50 – ~300 users, I tell them I’m going to set pricing. I usually do this with a pop up or email. They then have a drop down with “how much would you be willing to pay monthly for this service”

Usually you get some range, say $5/month to $100/month.… read more “Pricing advice from HN”

We have lots of clients who have seen insane increases in their results… I am talking increases from $271k a month in organic search revenue to $440k a month in organic search revenue in just a twelve month period… Cancel! It’s absolutely insane.

I think the problem is that I need people on the ground in their offices.… read more “What I hate worst about the agency business”

I am going to try build up management tools in my Scoretask application for the rest of Coalition’s internal processes. I have already built awesome tools for recruiting, training, management feedback, task management, and link building. Copy management is in progress. After that, I will work on SEO metrics and checklist, sales, management reports, retain and web development management tools.… read more “Big Business Goals For Next 3 Months”

I think I am going to work on getting my private pilot’s license. This seems like it would be a pretty useful skill to have.

I forgot to do my blog post this morning and don’t have much energy left for it now as I have been in the office since 8 am this morning and even missed my nap today.
