Jealousy never thinks about time

Did you know that I teach programming at BCIT? I currently teach a few courses. I’m currently teaching an advanced WordPress developer class. We’re learning about AJAX requests, programming design patterns, transients, and a whole bunch of other WordPress things. And I seem pretty smart to my students. There is so much to learn and
I was a guest on Genesis Office Hours
by
The awesome Carrie Dils runs the Genesis Office hours podcast and I was lucky enough to be asked to be a guest along with Angie Meeker. We talked about how many WordPress people are just ‘building stuff’ for clients not focusing on actually solving real business problems for them. Go listen to the episode.
Round Tripping to BeachPress mostly via bike
by
For me, BeachPress started 2 days early with travel. If you’re less interested in the cycling and travel portions and just want what I thought of BeachPress – read this post instead After a standard Friday morning involving my Mastermind Group and some extra family hang out time I loaded up my bike with my
When business is hard – Lean In
by
Once I was on a group ride and we were racing down a mountain. Speeds hit between 60km and 70km an hour as we worked to see who was the fastest. We had a ‘newer’ rider with us as well and as we started to get close to 70km his bike started to wobble. Then
Not fully focused
by
Recently I had 2 great podcast episodes about focus come across my path. 1. Overlap Technique When Sean talks about the overlap technique he means running an amazing consulting business and then rolling some of the profit from that in to a product. Then adding some training. And still doing client work. So that means
When Consulting Sucks, stop your whining
by
Louis CK has a great bit about technology. Take a second and watch it, then read on. My takeaway line is: Like how quickly the guy thinks the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago. I can so easily fall in to the same state of apathy when running my business.
What about good WordPress podcasts
by
A while ago I wrote about the podcasts I think you must listen to. Out of that came a question: What about WordPress podcasts? Yes, I do listen to WordPress podcasts, just not very many of them. I actually subscribe to every consistent one out there. They simply are rarely worth the time spent listening.
When you say YES to work what does it really mean
by
I’ve previously written about the importance of NO and how it’s one of the most important productivity and business tools you have. There is a bit more to it than I talked about before if we look at your YES or at least what your YES should be. Looking at your YES First we need
Get your time back with the proper communication medium
by
My friend Matt recently wrote a great article about Limiting Yourself. Don’t despair, the second solution is within easier reach. Limit yourself. Limit the number of inboxes you have, limit the amount of data coming into those inboxes and then limit how often you check those inboxes. Do this regularly enough and you’ll spend less
What on Earth is BeachPress good for?
by
I’m sitting here, on the third morning of BeachPress, with someone making breakfast for the group. Not much talking is going on as some code, some read, and some just drink enough coffee so they can feel sane. Looking at the group right now, one may wonder what the value of BeachPress is? I mean
