No time for whiners
by
I recently did a webinar with iThemes and WebDesign.com about Mastermind groups. I’ll talk more about them in the future and why I think they are super important for everyone to be involved in. Today I want to focus on one of the questions that came up during the discussion. I was in an accountability…
Credit Cards and a different world
by
Whenever I bring up the subject of finances I start talking about Credit Cards. Almost the only point that people ever get stuck on is that I say credit cards are a stupid idea. Somehow I manage to talk to (daily) the few percentage of people who don’t spend more because they use a credit…
3 stubborn days of pain
by
It was a Tuesday and I’d been fighting a headache since Saturday. I’m not the type to just take a pill at the drop of a hat. Not trying to be tough I just think that we too easily reach for medication to sort out issues that are trivial. Well that Tuesday I mentioned the…
Sure you’re fast but that doesn’t mean you charge less
by
I was talking to a fairly new freelancer (running for about a year) about pricing recently. Let’s be honest pricing is super hard. I’ve been at this for 5 years (4 fulltime on my own) and I have days when I’m not confident in my pricing. We have all been there and we will all…

Pride and Pricing
by

Developer or Googler?
by
We all get imposter syndrome sometimes. I’m afraid at least once a week that someone will look at my code or read a blog post and realize that I’m a total fraud and have no idea what I’m doing. One of the things that each developer asks themselves is Am I Really a Developer or…
With alarms blazing, I took a bike ride
by
It was 4pm and I was supposed to launch my book the next day. WooCommerce was installed but not quite working right locally. It wasn’t even installed on the staging site yet. My base sales copy was written, but had a few @todo notes littered throughout. Stripe wasn’t setup or tested and I wasn’t sure…
