MOTM #720: The Trust-Building Tool You’re Likely Underutilizing

Webinars aren’t dead. Nothing ever truly dies in the online space and more often than not, things come around again many times after they’ve already fallen out of favor.

MOTM #718: The Dead Internet Theory: Is Anybody Out There?

The internet is dead and we all know it. For the past decade, theories have been made that an increase in algorithms deciding the internet is run has lead to bots running rampant, and I whole heartedly believe those theories. Of course there are still real people using social media, it’s just a lot less than you think it is. So those vanity metrics of followers, likes, views? Mostly bullshit. Instead of creating to get those fake-ass numbers higher, create the shit you actually want to be creating and focus on the real people who are actually in your eco-system. Let’s chat.

MOTM #717: When in Doubt, Truth It Out

It’s true that many people out there need some urgency and scarcity in order to buy from you, but that doesn’t mean you need to lie whenever you’re selling. Manufacturing false scarcity in order to make more money is the same kind of shit that the greedy fucks who make their money through exploitation do, and we’re building something better than that. You don’t have to lie to make money. When in doubt, truth it out. Let’s chat.

MOTM #716: Making It Pour When It Rains

There are times for doing less, but I’d like to make a case that there are also times for doing more. I don’t know your life, so you’ll have to decide if it’s true for yourself and your life, but sometimes more to do means more structure, which is… well, more better. You don’t always have to back off when things get busy. If you thrive in it, lean in! Let’s chat.

MOTM #715: What AI is Actually Going to Do to Instagram

Let me save you some panic: AI is not destroying Instagram. I’m not anti-AI—I LOVE AI—but I do know that AI is pretty shitty at creating content, and the more social media gets flooded with AI-generated pictures and copy, the more people will be searching for actually good, human-created content. Use AI in whatever way is helpful for you in your business, but leave it out of your content creation. That’s how to set yourself apart from the masses. Let’s chat.

MOTM #714: Would You Pay Your Own Prices?

Growth for the sake of growth is the mentality of cancer cells—so why are we running our businesses and economy the same way? I’m not against making good money and having a lifestyle you want, but there comes a point where having money turns into hoarding wealth, and charging money for your services turns into exploitation. Charge what you need to have enough, charge what you YOU would pay for a similar service. Anything more than that just keeps perpetuating this bullshit system we’re in. Let’s chat.

MOTM #713: Are You Overcomplicating Your Offers?

If you’re getting potential clients telling you they “aren’t sure where to start” or they “can’t tell the difference” between a few of your offerings, you’re making shit too damn complicated. I’m all for over-delivering and for making accommodations for your people, but to an extent, people need to be bossed around a little when they’re deciding how to work with you. Decision fatigue means they might not purchase at all, so make it simple. Let’s chat.

MOTM #712: Your Voice is a Competitive Advantage

Your AI writing isn’t as good as you think it is. Sure, it feels like it’s getting the job done, but it sounds both soulless and like every other post flooding the internet right now.
