*UPDATED – October 6, 2021.I launched my first online business back in 1998. I launched my first WordPress site in 2006. In both cases, I did all the work myself.

It’s one thing to struggle. It’s another to struggle unnecessarily. Building a digital business requires time and effort – even in a good economy and under the best circumstances. There are shortcuts you can take, that’s true. Finding those shortcuts, however, also requires time and effort. I’ve found that shortcuts work a lot better after…
If you’re juggling too many projects and always seem to have too many tasks piling up on to-do lists, now is a good time to reassess your overall strategy. I say this because as we’ve entered the second month of the new year, people are experiencing a lot of stress out there. More so than…
