Quality Isn’t an Angle

by Kenny on January 20, 2010

Sim­ple question:

What sepa­ra­tes you from your competition?

If you ans­we­red “qua­lity” or some varia­tion the­reof, YOU FAIL. In today’s mar­ket, where there are more options than ever, ever­yone expects and demands qua­lity from ever­yone they do busi­ness with. Qua­lity isn’t an edge, it isn’t your selling point, it’s simply the right way to act and not lose business.

Still Making Money?

by Kenny on January 5, 2010

As we all plunge into the new year, we are once again inun­da­ted with artic­les, posts, and tweets about how to get focu­sed, stay on track, and set our goals. These remin­ders and encou­ra­ge­ments often con­tain nug­gets of wis­dom, valua­ble insight, and new ideas for us to pon­der and use.

If you still making money cause we still on that.”

Developing Your Brand Strategy

by Kenny on December 15, 2009

StrategyLately I have been seeing a lot of star­tups figh­ting to boot-strap and deve­lop their stra­tegy in order to get things rolling. It seems like almost all of my friends are either run­ning or trying to start a small busi­ness these days! I love it! I think the grea­test thing about this is that the majo­rity of boot-strappers today are peo­ple like me, who just decide to start a busi­ness and figure the rest out as they go. I wan­ted to write a few basics to deve­lo­ping brand stra­tegy that I have lear­ned from launching a few star­tups as a remin­der to myself, as I am once again in star­tup mode, and to help others that are on the same path as me!

All in One SEO to Thesis Migration

August 20, 2009

I just recently switched my blog design from a cus­tom theme that I desig­ned over to the the­sis archi­tec­ture. After the­sis was up and run­ning, I wan­ted to disa­ble and stop using the All in One SEO pack, since this func­tio­na­lity is built into the the­sis theme.
I was poin­ted to this post by @godhammer which in […]
