    What Billing Software to use?

    by

    What billing software I use (or what I recommend) is a question I get all the time. Currently I use Ronin and it’s pretty good. I’ve got a full review in the works that will highlight my loves and hates with Ronin in the next few weeks. Update October 2, 2013: Ronin was purchased by…

    The new iPhone launched last week and like many of you I’m excited to get it. I’m still on an iPhone 4 (stupid 3 year contracts in Canada) which is a bit slow and getting long in the tooth. I really notice the speed when I have to do something on my wife’s 4s. Despite…

    Meet Radium – I like chocolate in my ears

    by

    Back when I dropped my ‘regular’ credit card I found a bunch of things that I just didn’t want to pay monthly for anymore. Rdio was one of those services. I loved getting new music when I wanted but something about paying for it monthly just didn’t sit right for me. Since then I’ve been…

    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

    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…

    Ideas beget Ideas

    by

    A few weeks ago I launched a book that really just crept up on me. I wasn’t planning on writing it really my WordCamp Vancouver presentation script turned in to 16k words in the blink of an eye. And I had a book. I really had no further plans to talk about business or release…
