As many of you know I shoot my videos in my crowded office space. A while ago I had a very talented videographer suggest to my that I should get a backdrop so I could remove the "clutter" in my video backgrounds.

Please Follow Our YouTube Channel

I gave it some serious consideration and then rejected the idea for 2 reasons. The first reason was because I felt it added validity to the fact that I not only "talk the game, but I walk the talk" and 2nd was selfish in that I did not want all the hassle of setting up my video screens each time I wanted to talk.

Boy, that picture is a WOW’er isn’t it? LOL   But lets get to the point here. You want your business to strive, be successful and profitable and every once in a while it needs some adjustments. Be sure that your choice for information and education comes from those who know what they are doing and are doing it to success! Anyone can slide under the car (well she can’t) but it is the work that counts. As pretty as those legs are, would you trust her to fix your breaks? Probably not!

This is your business and it pays for your life, do a little due diligence when it comes to the web. Just because someone has a keyboard and a blog that does NOT mean they know what the hell they are talking about. What history do they have in business? How is their business going? What is the status of their success? While I can appreciate good fiction, I am NOT looking for it in business writing. Choose your advice and your advisors carefully. Check their fingernails, before you let them under the hood!!!

These two presentations are focusing on social media and its possible uses for businesses. The first one is conceptual while the second on is factual with data rich content. 

While not new, shiny or a hot topic any more, email marketing is still one of the BEST ways to interact with your customer base and to engage them in your sales funnel.  

Amazingly the principles of "good" marketing ideas are almost timeless. Yes, this presentation below was given more than 4 years ago. It includes 101 ideas for internet marketing and about 95% are STILL RELEVENT! Just goes to show how timeless solid information can be.

If you find your self going from broke and having nothing, to self made and independent. DO NOT go back. Well at least don’t go back without kicking and screaming!

The FREEDOM of being self-made is way more valuable than the money. NEVER forget that, it is the freedom that allows us to make the money. Spending 8 hours working for someone else and spending your most precious assets…the mind, on other folks stuff? OMG that is what makes you successful!

Please Rate My Video with 5-Stars DSR’s

Don’t not give up that freedom, give the credit cards back, sell the car and HUSTLE. But whatever you do, don’t give up that freedom lightly. That is the key to your business success. For me, the freedom has to be the last resort. I left the plantation with no intention of ever going back…I will sell fruit on the corner first! I love my freedom.

Dude, that is one UGLY-Ass Baby right? Of course it is! But would we tell the mother that? NO of course not, that is just not socially acceptable.

But in business you really should not make it "your baby". You should not be that attached to your business tools (blog, processes, products, website, logo, etc.) You have got to REMOVE the PERSONAL!

Comments about your business can not be taken personally. How in the world can a business survive if it is your "baby" and as such, immune to criticism? Dude, just check out the Ugly Baby video, LMAO!

Do you want to do big things in business? Well remember the old saying "A fish will not outgrow its environment?" well…

It is not true that fish will only grow to fit their tank. This is an "old wives’ tale" and one of the most common myths about fish today. This misinformation is perpetuated by the fact that most fish will die before they visibly outgrow the tank they are housed in.

So what do that mean in business? Check out the video…

I was at an event yesterday and they asked me to stand up and give 1 tip or takeaway to be successful at business. I HATE when they do that to me! Why? Because I could give at least 20 GREAT tips, LMAO

But the limited me to only one and this is what I told them. Immediately after getting back I made this video, cause I do not think I have ever said this before on the website.

By now, anyone that listens to my weekly radio show (B.S. Walks When Money Talks) is already familiar with Jeff Brathwaite or JB as he likes to call himself. JB has been a good resource for my business for nearly 5 year and we have become truly great friends in the process .

I am such a tech geek that speaking to some other business owners is like talking in French. Over the years I have found that while these executives and CEO are wizards with a balance sheet, they are “lost” in a spreadsheet if there are no graphs.

One of the things that many businesses are missing is the use of automation and tools that can make the daily tasks of running your business smoother and easier. That is where a good “technology coach” comes in. A Tech Coach can analyze what you are doing currently and then adjust those tasks with automation using FREE and paid technology to smooth out the process.

JB is the CEO of 2 The Next Level, and business blogger of the company blog as well as a Twitter Marketing blog. He is constantly on the forefront of technological advancements that can aid businesses in using tools and techniques to automate process and procedures. He is a wealth of technical information and a guru of technology tools on varied platforms. Check him out weekly on http://www.wednesday114.com and check out this exclusive interview with JB right now!

Man, when things go right, you just KNOW IT. When you get a HOT ONE, you got to share it. So I gotz me a hot one baby! Let me introduce you to Dawud Miracle (accent on the miracle for real ), my dude is an absolute genius.

Not only genius, but genuine. I just dig it when you meet smart people without them coming off as “know it all” jerks. I want the know it all, just leave the jerk part out of it, LMAO. You know how you meet people that are so smart, but you just can’t stand them cause they are so full of themselves? That is not a good mix with me.

Today I not only build static websites and blogs, but I also help small business owners understand how to use the full internet to expand their own businesses. I’m doing more and more coaching and consulting where clients are hiring me to help them learn how to use these incredible tools or to help them problem solve a part of their business that’s stuck.

Dawud is on the most successful independent business coaches around these parts and he sat down with your boy here in this ColderICE interview. What transpired on this call will CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS, I guarantee it. If you will internalize the wisdom that he has set out on this call your business will be TRANSFORMED.

Look folks transformation is powerful, Dawud Miracle  approaches business management the way I like it. The progression is natural, organic and explosive. Not only that, it is simplistic but not just simple.  He translates HEAVY LEARNING into digestible nuggets so you can get all the flavor without gagging on the B.S. hype.

Dude, I am loving the “Miracle Man”, and I am sure you will too! LISTEN NOW and start to change your business today.
