    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    My Stripe account got approved after 36 hours and my stress level immediately plummeted accordingly. Next week is going to be all about grinding through some finally file exporting to get the first three units of training content uploaded and ready to go. I've chosen Subhub.com as my members'...

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    I finally launched my product website last weekend. Creating the website did not take a lot of time (I'd already done some experimenting over the last few years prior to quitting my day job and had already worked out a lot of the design aspects), but it took a long time to get it live, because I...

    New EU regulations might destroy my business

    SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    1. Great! 2. Great! 3. Great! 4. Then get on that SEO. You can't change the reality of regulations, but you can work diligently towards actually owning (more or less) your own marketing funnel. Depending on Facebook ads was never going to be sustainable. 5. Perfect! You've made plenty of effort...

    New EU regulations might destroy my business

    SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    The trite truism that applies to this situation is to never put all your eggs into one basket. My advice: 1. Get the English version finished ASAP. 2. Don't work on the Dutch audio version at all. Do an English audiobook version instead. 3. Get started on your second book as soon as you can...

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I got so sucked in to working on my product that I completely forgot about this thread for a month and a half. Each Monday I've been jumping straight into work and my productivity level has remained high and steady. I probably won't restart the weekly goals/progress reports, as I...

    Toronto Meet-Up?

    MEETUPS 
    I'm not Toronto based (was just visiting in the area when the last meet up occurred).

    Where do you hire your copywriters?

    WEB DESIGN 
    That sounds like a very worthwhile experiment. If you've already built that skillset, bringing someone to the team (even for a short term engagement) who has some varied experiences in the same area could be a really great learning experience and a fantastic way to challenge yourself to grow.

    Where do you hire your copywriters?

    WEB DESIGN 
    Related question: Should business/product owners outsource their early stage copywriting or should they, as the person who knows their business/product the very best, take direct and personal responsibility for the A/B testing process that builds the best possible sales funnel system?

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Week Eleven Progress Report I completed three-&-a-half of the four Activity Instructions and Material kits I wanted to finish last week. Week Twelve Goals I figured out a way to substitute one group activity (that will take about 3-4 days to complete the materials) for in place of three...

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Week Ten Progress Report I met my goals for Week Ten. Although I'd decided to give myself from Monday to Wednesday to work on updating my marketing strategy Excel document, after putting 9 hours into it on Monday and then finalizing some details on Tuesday, I was ready to jump back into product...

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Week Nine Progress Report I achieved 70% of my goal of completing 15 Activity Descriptions and accompanying materials. I'm pretty happy with that, because as usual, pretty much task took longer than anticipated. I put in my best every day, have a bunch of important components of my product...

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Week Eight Progress Report Last week did not go as expected. I ended up needing to rethink some functional aspects of the layout architecture for all of my printable activity materials. So, instead of getting to my goal of 15 activities completed, I did 5 before running into some issues that...

    Advice on hiring sales person

    MARKETING 
    I'm not speaking from experience, but here are a couple ideas I'll throw out just for the purposes of brainstorming. I encourage those with actual experience in hiring sales people to express disagreement with these suggestions if they wish. (1) You (and your cofounder(s)) know your company and...

    I'm OK with Calling Myself a CEO Now (But Only in My Head)

    ASSERTION MINDSET 
    My point is not that I'm adopting a title for myself at all, but rather that (for specific tasks), I'm giving myself permission to say to myself "this is major decision with long term implications for the product -- it's OK (and optimal) to take the time to process the decision properly and I'll...

    I'm OK with Calling Myself a CEO Now (But Only in My Head)

    ASSERTION MINDSET 
    Part of my structure for productivity and self-honesty is to not think of myself (or describe myself to others) as an entrepreneur, founder, CEO, inventor, etc. My logic is that these words don't mean anything when you use them to describe yourself. Someone could register an LLC and in an...
