For those who have wondered, this post will explain what I work on and how I function as a “million-dollar writer.” It is my hope this will stimulate you into taking the required steps to earn significantly more income than you do now. After I spell out how I manage to create a million dollars in revenue, I'll give you a simple 3-step roadmap to increase your own income. (By the way, even though I am describing the life of a writer, virtually all of what I'm about to share will work for any freelancer or business owner.)

Like many, I was taught from my earliest years that it is impolite to talk about politics, religion, or money. I routinely violate all three of these directives, however, so this is not new territory for me. Let's begin… I am not writing to boost my own ego. I am writing to answer a very frequently-asked question: “How does a writer make a million dollars?” This is a great question, because the industry income average for freelance writers is just under $5,000 per year. When someone asks me how, as a writer, I make a million dollars, they may not actually express it, but what they really want to know is: “How does a guy who writes ad copy, who has never published a book I've even heard of… how does that guy make a million dollars?” And of course, ultimately, the real question burning in their heart is: “Could I do that? Or even half that?” That's what people really want to know and that's what I want to share with you. Before I get to the tactical stuff like: • How do you get paid?• What are your rates? • How do you get clients? It's imperative that I share 3 Prosperity Principles for Writers. PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #1: YOU MUST DISCOVER YOURSELF Many writers and other creatives have a not-so-secret fantasy. They labor intensely for years on a masterpiece, hoping that an influential publisher or literary agent will “discover” them, and they'll be catapulted to fame and fortune. That's a nice fantasy, but with one problem: it doesn't happen that way. It never does, or at least almost never. Okay, rarely it happens. But you're more likely to be struck by lightning on the same day you win the Powerball, than you are to be “discovered” in this way. You must discover yourself! You must identify what makes you different, what “special sauce” you add to this common craft (writing) that makes you a distinctly differently voice on a common subject. In what way are you a player with a unique, unduplicable advantage? We spend 3 full days answering this question definitively in our Dreamstorm Workshops, using our Core Thesis Process; obviously, if you don't already know the answer to this question, you'll need to spend some time on it, PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #2: YOU MUST PROMOTE YOURSELF To succeed, dear Reader, you must realize you are not actually in the “writing business.” You are in the business of You, Incorporated. It is your unique personality, and the fascinating persona you share with the world, that shapes how that world sees you. Done right, this can make you an irresistible character to whom people are attracted as their chosen and trusted authority. Done wrong, this can break the ties between you and your readers. Specifically, instead of promoting and advertising your highly-developed craftsmanship as a writer, you must be in the business of promoting you. You cannot rely on word-of-mouth, or critical acclaim, or impersonal ad campaigns. You must conscientiously promote yourself, and intentionally craft the way customers perceive you. If you have interest in knowing HOW it is I do all this, and want to see the detailed steps I take, let me know your interest in the comment section. Enough interest expressed will generate a new post on this “Implementation” phase. But for now, on to… PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #3: YOU MUST GET OVER YOURSELF You might be disappointed to learn that your dream of being a purely creative being whose hands are never “sullied” by crass commercialism or “manipulative” marketing are mere fantasy. This may be hard to swallow, but you need to get over yourself in this regard. So, let me get the disappointing stuff out of the way right upfront: 1. This approach may require a readjustment of what you think of as “craft.” The kind of writing I do is very specific: direct response copy. This is copy meant to result in a sale. It's copy that moves the reader to buy. Personally, I find the craft of writing sales copy to be endlessly fascinating and fun. While you may not choose to write sales copy (arguably the most lucrative kind of writing available to the average writer), you may also have to spend a little less time writing poems about the secret lives of elves. 2. My approach is not an “instant income” strategy. This whole system of “writing as a business” has taken me a few years to figure out and build up. I am able to pass on some hard-won lessons (like those in this post), which I believe may considerably shorten your learning curve. You can go faster than I did. But it's still not instant. And I'm constantly learning new things. You and I are very much works in progress. 3. There is more than one way to achieve a million-dollar income as a writer. For instance, there is a writer (whose name you would not recognize) who writes 3-4 books a year and gets paid $300,000 – $400,000 for each book. He's a ghostwriter. You'd be shocked to learn how many New York Times best-selling books with famous names on the covers were actually written by this one ghostwriter. Another writer I know raked in a million dollars last year writing content, white papers, and annual reports for big corporations. As I said, my way is not the only way. But it is worth noting that though the kinds of writing differ, the basic ideas I share here apply to every wealthy writer I know. 4. In my experience, a million-dollar writing business means you're selling more than “just” writing. You will probably find it necessary to offer products and services that are not strictly writing (but which you would not be able to sell without your foundational work as a writer). It's the rare writer who can merely write and cash checks (our ghostwriter friend notwithstanding). I'll dive more deeply into this in the next section. 5. This whole endeavor requires me to use a four-letter word that will shock and offend some people. But I feel the use of this word is required to communicate the force of my argument. The four-letter word is: w-o-r-k. Work! Ya gotta put in the effort! This is a glimpse “behind the curtain,” and you may or may not like what you see. Then again you may find it encouraging to know there is a proven path to prosperity as a writer, and you don't need a fat contract from a big publisher to pull this off. You can simply decide, and then go do it. “The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor … the greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. That is when we must learn to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and to reap without apology if the amounts are big … you must either get good at sowing in the spring or begging in the fall. The soil says: don't bring me your need, bring me your seed.” — Jim Rohn HOW I GET PAID The first thing to know is I “fudged” a little on my income – it wasn't really $1 million last year. The actual number is closer to $1.2 million. The second thing to know is I didn't get to keep most of it. Where did it go? A lot of places: • The IRS and the State of Washington got their portions, of course. • Then there are payroll taxes, Social Security, etc. • Employee salaries. • Affiliate commissions. • Vendors and independent contractors. • Other business expenses. • There are the medical expenses related to my little neurological disorder. • Plus we finished paying off all consumer debt, which at its height topped $400,000.(I'm actually embarrassed by this. I learned a lot through the mistakes which landed me in so much debt – perhaps I'll share more about that journey in a future post.) So, you can forget asking me for a loan. I didn't sock a million into the bank. But I'm not complaining – the Edwards household did, and still does, quite well. With all that out of the way… here's where the money actually comes from. How I get paid. Product Sales Product sales are far-and-away our biggest source of revenue. These include high-ticket items ($1,000 and up) sold mostly via PLF-style launches, advertising, purchased solo email campaigns, and organic website traffic. “Day with Ray” Consulting This is where I meet with a single client (or their team). I require this meeting before Private Client Copy Engagement. The “Day With Ray” costs $15,000 if you come to me in Spokane, WA, or $20,000 plus private air charter if I come to you. What do we do in such a meeting? It depends on the client (everyone is different, so there is no template for this). I grill the client for the first hour or so, and generally this will lead to a discovery of the 1-3 most powerful “levers” we can pull in their business to increase revenue and profits, while providing the business owner with less stress and more peace of mind. Private Client Copy Engagement After a long period of protesting that I was no longer writing for clients, I am finally giving in to market demand. I am accepting a very few assignments wherein I personally run the copy project and write the copy. This is prohibitively expensive for the client, and if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Also, I require that all Private Clients pass a rigorous application process, and agree to my admittedly unreasonable demands (100% compliance with my advice, 100% commitment to running my copy as written, 100% commitment to testing and tracking, payment of a percentage of gross sales to be made quarterly, and acceptance of my total lack of availability for “chummy chats,” psychological counseling, and babysitting sessions). I charge a minimum of $150,000 payable up front. Maximum four clients per year, booked well in advance. Royalties These are payments on gross sales of Private Client projects. They also include royalties on co-created projects and revenue share deals. This is becoming a more significant percentage of my company revenue. Please do not contact us looking for me to do your marketing for free and offering me a percentage. I only do these deals when I know the person well, know the company and market well, and when it is my idea. Group Coaching Group coaching has been lacking in my portfolio of services until recently. Experiments thus far show it to be fun and profitable, as well as extraordinarily valuable to participants. These are online groups of up to 20 people at a time, who receive coaching and feedback from me once per week for a finite period (usually 6-12 weeks). Workshops I host a few small group workshops that focus on a single theme or outcome each year. Participants pay a premium fee ($5,000 – $10,000) and must qualify through application. These consist typically of three intense and productive days that can significantly alter the course of the client's business and life for the better. Private Masterminds Small group Mastermind Alliances involve a strict application process, membership requirements, and required compliance to meeting attendance and participation. Affiliate Commissions We generate commissions through the recommendation of products and services we ourselves use. This accounts for about 7% of our company revenue each year, but nearly 18% of our annual profit. Why is it so profitable? All we do is promote the product. We don't actually do any work, creation, or customer support. REIC Membership This is our newest offering. Members receive a printed newsletter each month with my best (and freshest) thinking, a monthly video training, a live Q&A once per month, and more. We are launching this in September 2017. Those methods fairly well sum up how I earn my income. HOW I GET CLIENTS My marketing system is not immediately obvious to most. It is complex, carefully thought out, and rigorously tested. I am constantly experimenting. Every “thing” we do is designed to point to all the other “things” we do. Client Attraction vs. Client Pursuit Client attraction is foundational. Long ago I decided I did not wish to “chase” business, but prefer instead to let business chase me. So, I have carefully designed a ubiquitous system for attracting a steady flow of possible clients and customers from many different streams. This adds up to a large flow of potential business at various levels of engagement and investment, all swimming (upstream if necessary) to me. Some of the “pools” from which I attract business include: • Podcasting. This is one of the most intimate mediums available. Podcast listeners have me literally “in their head” for an hour per week (or more, if they binge-listen… and many do just that from our library of nearly 300 episodes). This is a curiously powerful medium. Numerous customers have listened to 1-3 episodes and proceeded directly to a $5,000 – $10,000 purchase. • YouTube channel. This is a new, experimental marketing tool for me. I have been enjoying playing around with the possibilities, and have now settled on a strategy going forward. Look for a slight shift in focus on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks. The goal, as with all third-party media, is to move people off third-party properties like YouTube (and Facebook, and Twitter, etc.) and onto my email list. • Social media. While many claim direct money making power through social media, my approach is to use it to attract and build a bond and relationship with my tribe, and then move them from social media to the media I own, i.e., my email list. • Printed newsletter. Already mentioned once, this is not only a product but also a marketing tool. Since the largest primary segment of my audience is made up of writers (meaning, presumably, they're also readers), having a print newsletter is vitally important. Print media carries more impact than electronic media. This is not something I'm guessing at. According to this Millward Brown study, brain scans demonstrated the same message presented to the human subject printed on paper lights up more areas of the brain than the electronic equivalent. More areas of the brain lighting up equals more engagement. • Speaking. This is a way that I accomplish a number of objectives: for instance, I like to travel. I want to travel to exotic places. So, I have a speaking engagement next month in Hong Kong, primarily because I've never been there. This will also afford me the opportunity, as do all speaking engagements, to establish personal contact with a new group of people, perhaps add them to my mailing list, and maybe generate a few clients along the way. Speaking automatically grants you a certain amount of gravitas and authority. As far as generating clients, this is an indirect benefit of speaking. I do not hock or pitch my services from the stage. I do, however, strategically communicate that I am available to be hired by the right people, and that I have products available for people who are not ready to hire me. Perhaps I'll write more about this at a later time. • Books. Both physical and Kindle versions of my books are available. I currently have three books that are relevant to my business as a copywriter and marketer, and by the end of next year I plan to have no less than 10. The current books are How to Write Copy That Sells, Moneywords, and Just Get Started. These books generate a certain kind of prospect or client. They are engineered to do so, and also provide valuable content. And, as with speaking, having a book in hand conveys on the author a certain amount of authority and credibility which cannot be gained in any other way. • Guest posts/appearances. From time to time I guest-post on the blogs of other people. I also appear on other people's podcasts as a guest interview. Once upon a time, I did this indiscriminately and would post or appear anywhere asked. The demands on my time have become so overwhelming I now have to choose more carefully. Each decision whether to appear on a podcast or write a guest post is a tactical decision designed to support my overall business strategy. For more on my thinking about this, see this book with my friend Tom Schwab, Podcast Guest Profits. That, in a nutshell, is how I get new clients. I admit it is condensed and leaves out a lot of details. The subject deserves a book of its own. The above will get you started and will have to do until I write that book. HOW I RUN MY WRITING BUSINESS This is not an exhaustive description of methodologies and practices for running a business, but a brief overview of some key principles that I believe help keep my business lean and growing. Minimal staff. Once upon a time, I wanted no staff at all. This came after having been responsible for hundreds of people in my corporate position in radio broadcasting. But I finally realized I was limiting my growth by not hiring employees for my personal writing business. So now we have a few full-time employees and a number of independent contractors. We try to keep the staff as minimal as possible, but no smaller than needed. I have seen more than one friend destroy their own business by over-hiring. I'm determined not to make this mistake. Remote workers. Rather than limit my pool of prospective employees to people who live in my hometown, we simply look for the best people for the job. This means we have hired staff from all over the place. In the US, we have workers on our team in Tennessee, Colorado, California, and elsewhere. For more on how to orchestrate a remote workforce (because there are some unique challenges), I highly recommend the book Remote: Office Not Required, by Jason Fried. Employees vs. Contractors. I am not offering legal, accounting, or other professional advice. You should seek the services of a qualified professional to answer those questions. I can tell you that in my experience there is a difference between an employee and contractor in terms of mental attitude and dedication to the job. This is not to say that contractors don't have a place. In my work as a freelance copywriter, I am, after all, an independent contractor. However, the person who is a full-time employee in your company can devote 100% of their working efforts to you. You must see that makes a difference. I'm not saying one is better than the other; I'm saying there's a place for both. Client Selection. Anytime I'm going to be personally interacting with clients, such as on a copywriting or marketing project, I use a selection process. The prospective client will have to convince me that I want them as a client. This may sound arrogant, but it is not meant to be so. It actually serves all parties concerned. If I do not have good chemistry with the client, if our working styles do not match, or if we have mismatched expectations, that is a recipe for discord and upset. Contentious, negative, or sketchy people do not make the list. And if they do somehow sneak in, once we discover these fatal flaws, they are invited to go elsewhere. Immediately. PRIORITIZING PRODUCTIVITY I place priority on stewarding my most valuable non-renewable resource – time – as if it is treasure. Because it is treasure. Thus productivity gets priority. My Morning Success Ritual. This is vital to my most productive days. While I don't manage to get this all in every day, I'm getting better at it. My goal between is to achieve 95%+ compliance with this ritual every day. The days when I follow this MSR, starting the minute my feet hit the floor out of bed, are invariably my best days (most productive, most joyous, most satisfying). Probably because the most important things were done first – like prayer, reading, meditating, journaling, exercise, etc. And they are done when I'm still in the “NDZ”: No Distraction Zone (meaning no email, no voicemail, no phone calls, etc.) Writing. The first thing I must do each day after my MSR is complete (and after I have showered, driven to the office, etc.) is WRITING. I am primarily a writer. You can always tell who the writers are – they're the ones who are writing. This is my #1 Revenue Producing Activity (RPA). At this point my phone is off, I have still not checked email, not checked voicemail, etc. Still in the NDZ. I write for a large block of time at the beginning of the day — often 4 hours. NOTHING gets to interrupt the writing — including (especially) the clients for whom I may be writing. Fortress of Solitude. This is the most important and perhaps the most controversial piece of advice I can give you. You must construct for yourself a “fortress of solitude”. While I do not pretend to be Superman, I do take inspiration from the Man of Steel's secret hideaway. The Fortress of Solitude is the place Superman goes to be in absolute solitude. A place of silent contemplation. This is the place he goes to think, to learn, to plan, to rejuvenate. Some of the ways in which I've done this are: I never answer incoming business calls. They're always screened, dealt with, and if I really need to speak with the person a call is set for Call Day. I have only one day per month that I make phone appointments (Call Day). I make all phone appointments on that day. If that date cannot work for a person seeking a phone conversation with me, my assistant will schedule them for the next month. I schedule all my interviews on one day per month, grouped together so that I can take care of this task all in a single day. My daily schedule is relatively free from appointments. This creates large blocks of time for me to do what I do best, and what is most important for generating revenue in my business: writing, creating content, and recording (either audio or video). For more details on why I resort to these extreme measures, please see No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs, by Dan Kennedy. Rest. In order to deliver the very best work to my clients and partners, and to still leave room in my schedule for rejuvenation (sleep, family time, time with God, and time to just plain relax)… I have to guard my time vigorously. And I have to be on guard against what Dan Kennedy calls “Time Vampires”. They will suck the life out of you. I Don't Check Email, and I Only Get One Email Each Day. My auto-check feature in Apple Mail is turned OFF. I only get email when I press the “Check Mail” button. I check it once per day, Monday thru Thursday. Usually around 4 pm Pacific. All my email is screened by my assistant, who compiles the relatively few messages I must read or respond to. She sends those to me in a single email at the end of each day. This is one of my policies that tends to be unpopular with those who are “urgency addicts”, and who want me to have a constant email discussion about all manner of things with them. I refuse to sacrifice my highest valued commodity (time) for the sake of what usually amounts to trivia. I suggest you adopt the same policy. I Avoid Meetings Like the Plague They Are. Any meeting that lasts longer than 15 minutes is probably too long. Not always, but most of the time. Any project that requires multiple meetings each week is probably in trouble. Long meetings = inefficiency at best, and postponement of the inevitable at worst. (As a sidebar: frequent short meetings are just a disguised way of having long meetings. HEAR ME: if you have “meeting-itis”, either you just want an excuse to talk about work instead of doing it, or something is wrong with the project … something another meeting won't solve). Phone Meetings / Conversations. Same as in person meetings, only worse. Conversations and phone meetings should be 15 minutes or less and have a predetermined purpose and ending time. These all take place on aforementioned Call Day. Instant Messenger. Any Flavor. (I'm looking at you, Slack). Just say no. The only time I use it is when I have SCHEDULED events on Skype or Zoom (usually interviews). I am NEVER “just available” to be interrupted. (If I was, that would mean that I was either doing something unimportant or that I was doing NOTHING. If I'm doing something unimportant… WHY? And if I'm doing NOTHING, it's a PLANNED nothing and it's important that this not be interrupted!). I HATE TEXT MESSAGES. The end. Office Hours. Yes, I have an office outside my home. I lease currently. I'm considering buying an office building. I keep regular business hours most of the time: Mon – Thurs, 8 am – 5 pm Pacific. By the way, my office phone is answered by a LIVE HUMAN (not some stupid voicemail torture device) Monday – Saturday, 8 am – 6 pm Pacific time. Why do I have the phone covered even when I am out of the office? Because other members of my team keep different hours… and because emergencies DO happen, and I like to be available if a TRUE emergency arises. My phone team knows how to reach me in those cases. WHY THE EMPHASIS ON NOT BEING INTERRUPTED? Interruptions cost you dearly. As a writer, I know that allowing myself to be interrupted by a client or vendor (“Hey Ray – got a minute to talk about the new logo?”) can seem harmless… but it isn't. That interruption costs me (a) the state of “flow” I was in while working, maybe impossible to recover, (b) the time of the interruption itself, and (c) the time it takes me to get back into the “zone” with what I was working on… minimum 20 minutes, maybe longer. I can't afford to let that happen. My clients and customers can't afford for me to let that happen. I once had a client who loved to call me at 11 pm at night and talk for two hours. I tried to tell him I worked set hours and was available at those times, but he didn't seem to understand. When our first project was finished, I fired him. His dysfunction did not automatically become my problem. Be warned – people will WASTE your time if you let them. Will you let them? Be polite, be loving… but don't be a victim. In the end, if you guard your time, you are being most respectful of other people. Think about it: if you allow yourself to be interrupted, or your time wasted when you should have been doing something else… who suffers? Your clients. Your customers. Your family (“Sorry honey, I have to stay late because I wasted 2 hours today listening to the web team make excuses…”). You're not serving anyone by being a poor steward of your time. WHAT TO DO NEXT Here's the 3-step plan I promised you to help increase your own income. It's quite simple: 1. Choose just one of the practices I listed above – the one that excites you the most. 2. Put that practice to work in your own business, and use it until it begins to produce results. 3. Now pick a new practice, add it to your daily/weekly/monthly routine, and repeat the process. (Don't stop doing the new “thing” you started in Step 1. Keep doing all the activities, and as you add them one by one, you will likely see a corresponding surge in income. I am not promising you any income results, just sharing what has worked for me. Your mileage may vary.) If this post has struck a chord with you, please let me know in the comments, and ask any specific questions you have. I'll endeavor to answer as transparently as possible. Finally, if you did find this post useful, I pray that you put it into action. So, here's my question for you: What ideas from this post will you implement and what results do you hope to see?   How You Can Help Subscribe to the show in Apple Podcasts or on Spotify, and give us a rating and review.

Qual é o tipo de Cultura da sua empresa? A cultura pode ser definida como os valores, atitudes e práticas compartilhadas que caracterizam uma empresa.

Gæsten i dagens afsnit er iværksætteren, racerkøreren og verdensmanden David Heinemeir Hansson og hvad hverken du - eller David - ved er at han har haft en markant indflydelse på Rollemodellernes historie - hvorfor hører du i podcasten. David er som sagt en driftig mand. Han er mest kendt for sit medejerskab i virksomheden 37signals, der udviklede et populært projektstyringsværktøj og senere har skiftet navn til Basecamp. Den virksomhed har han drevet sammen med med-stifteren Jason Fried og deres kendetegn har altid været en kontrært måde at drive virksomhed på, som har udfordret normerne for det normale erhvervsliv bl.a. ved at arbejde 100% remote.  De erfaringer har de delt som forfattere i en række helt geniale bøger som Re-work, Remote - Office Not Required og senest It doesn’t have to be crazy at work som kan lyttes på Mofibo - det er alle blandt mine favoritbøger og de kan anbefales.  Foruden Basecamp har David udviklet det populære kodesprog Ruby-on-rails som igennem en lang årrække har været blandt verdens mest populære udviklingssprog til kodning, og så har han for øvrigt også fundet tid til at blive elite racerkører - også selvom han først tog kørekort som 25 årig. Racerkarrieren har kastet en række topresultater af sig og mangeårige deltagelse i 24 timers løbet Le Mans.  Basecamps seneste projekt har været etablering af mailservicen Hey.com, som har taget tech-verden med storm, og som fik David ud i en regulær kamp mod Apple.  Hvorfor er David gæst i Rollemodellerne? David er faktisk lidt af en drømmegæst i podcasten - og jeg kan godt sige at jeg har ventet i snart fem år på at lave dette interview. Siden jeg først blev anbefalet Rework, og sidenhen stiftede bekendskab med det ikoniske interview David lavede med Tim Ferriss - har David været en af de mennesker jeg har lyttet mest til i start-up miljøet. Det arbejde og mindset som David og Jason har brugt til at lave med først 37signals, så Basecamp og nu hey.com er bemærkelsesværdigt. For mig er deres kamp for at få skåret det værste bullshit og roo-roo væk fra erhvervslivet en inspirerende og nødvendig kamp, og det er også derfor jeg synes David har været en af de personligheder jeg absolut helst har ville høre i podcasten. At David så samtidig sideløbende med bøgerne, og virksomheden, har formået at 1) udvikle et af verdens mest brugte kodesprog, og 2) er blevet racerkører på eliteniveau - til trods for han først tog kørekort som 25 årig, er egentlig kun en ekstra bonus, som kun forstærker fortællingen om en rollemodel,

The "work-from-home" phenomenon is thoroughly explored in this illuminating new audiobook from best-selling 37signals founders Fried and Hansson, who point to the surging trend of employees working from home (and anywhere else) and explain the challenges and unexpected benefits. Most important, they show why - with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo - more businesses will want to promote this new model of getting things done.

Back in 2013, Basecamp's Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson published Remote (Office Not Required), a beautifully concise insight into how remote working had shaped their business. Seven years and one global pandemic later, remote working has become a lot more common. But are we making the most of the opportunities that remote working presents? In this edition of The GP Book Club, Ross G is joined by Gemma and Owen to share their thoughts. We discuss: a brief overview of the book's main points the advantages of remote work for businesses and employees how the way organisations communicate during the pandemic is shaping reactions to remote working.

Writing a book is a nerve-racking leap into the unknown. In Kurt Vonnegut’s words, we have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.    A few months ago, two of our founders David and Mark decided to take the plunge. They’re writing a business book about modern approaches to connecting and engaging with employees effectively.    Today’s episode deep dives into their writing journeys, including the ah-hah moment that inspired them to write the book, the book’s structure, how they divide the workload, how we’re going to promote the book, and the potential outcome. The real gem of this episode is their honest struggles with writing a book (captured in an upcoming video docu-series), their different writing processes, and how they’re balancing these differences to achieve promising end-results.

Collaborating Under Confinement: The temptation may be to get out of bed when you want and work in your pajamas. But you need to give more than you do in the office when you work remotely. How do you manage your time, come up with creative solutions, stimulate ideas and make sure everyone’s motivated to deliver their best when there’s an existential crisis at the door and all you get is 15 minutes of catch-up each day? In today's episode of User's Guide To Now, Dr Aleks Krotoski asks Jason Fried (co-founder and CEO of BaseCamp, and author of "REWORK", "Remote: Office Not Required", and "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work") why offices are the worst places to work, and how the lockdown is an opportunity for transformation. He gives Aleks tips and tricks that he's learned over more than 15 years of remote working, and what you need to do to succeed at working from home. She then tests Jason's advice with The Economist's Tom Standage - Deputy Editor and point man behind the paper's in-house start-up Espresso.

Every front page in the world is talking about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Many nations are in lockdown and governments are enforcing social distancing rules to help fight the alarming spread of coronavirus. Work from home (WFH) is now the new normal for most businesses. In today’s episode (recorded remotely, of course), Mark and David chat about how the coronavirus outbreak has affected ScreenCloud as well as their WFH experiences and the challenges of staying connected. Even though remote work has been around for a while, most companies aren’t set up for it. It can be a challenging adjustment due to the loss of face to face interactions with colleagues as well as the necessity of being online at all times.  The founders also discuss the steps ScreenCloud has taken to help staff and customers during this difficult time. This includes crediting accounts for clients who have had to close their premises and building out a new WFH solution to help individual employees easily consume information while working from home - outside of already oversaturated channels. It's undeniable that we're dealing with a tough situation, but might we be hopeful that many organizations will come out of this stronger and realize that working from home has real benefits?    Show notes:   Check out Uber: uber.com Check out Zoom: zoom.us Check out Slack: slack.com  Check out Remote: Office Not Required by David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried Check out the webinar featuring Jason Lemkin, CEO and Founder of SaaStr, and Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKL0gyuf7bY   Find out about ScreenCloud: screencloud.com   Connect with David Hart or Mark McDermott on LinkedIn.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting Business, Life and Coffee episode! Today we’re going to be doing something a little different. I recently came across an article that contains a list of questions you should ask a business owner in order to get a better idea about their experience and gather valuable insights into the world of entrepreneurship. So I thought it might be fun to do a Q&A-styled episode based on these questions. Since there’s a lot of cool things we’ll get to explore, this episode will be a two-parter.  This week, I will be answering the first 5 questions of the “10 Questions to Ask an Entrepreneur” questionnaire from Feedster.com. This is a great opportunity for me to get really personal and share some of the moments from my own entrepreneurial journey. I’m going to cover things like how I evaluate my decisions, how I deal with mistakes and what I usually do to prepare myself for the challenges of adversity. Stay tuned and make sure to let me know your thoughts about the episode on social media!

Jason Fried doesn’t set goals “because they're mostly artificial. You either hit the goal and you're happy [or] you don't hit it and you're upset. And if you hit it, then you just set up another one. What's the point?” His conversation with Amy Elisa Jackson in this episode is filled with wise advice that comes from his direct experience as the CEO of a successful company and co-author of Rework, a New York Times bestseller about work.   He believes in the power of saying “no” and the freedom it brings. “What I found is the more often I say ‘yes’, the more often I regretted the decision down the road. It's really easy to say ‘yes’ to something, especially when it's later on because it doesn't cost you anything right now. No is just more specific, and it frees you up. You end up having more flexibility and more independence when you say no more frequently.”  In this episode you’ll also learn how to keep your work hours under control, be happier when you are working, and how parenthood can teach lessons you can use at work.Jason has been a TED speaker. In addition to Rework, he’s been the co-author of It Doesn’t Have to be Crazy at Work, and Remote: Office Not Required. IN PURSUIT is hosted by Amy Elisa Jackson and is an original podcast from Glassdoor.Click to listen now.  Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Through honest and candid conversations, guests share how they navigate their careers through achievements, hurdles and heartbreaks encountered along the way.  If you have a question or feedback for us, message us on Twitter (@glassdoor using the hashtag #InPursuitPod).

In business, when we’re starting out we’re always looking for a rule or a pattern that will help us overcome challenges and position ourselves the right way. And even though you’ll never find a single formula that will solve all your problems, there are still some very good yet simple concepts you can keep in mind whenever you seem lost or confused.  Today, I’m sharing with you a 4-letter word that I keep at the forefront of my mind whenever I’m strategizing. The power is not in the word itself. And no, it’s not an acronym. The whole advantage this word provides us with is a perspective change, a new way to approach any issue that seems burdensome or overbearing. So check out this episode if you want to see the technique I use to reframe seemingly difficult business situations. This week’s episode is supported by the audiobook platform Audible!

Do you prefer working from home but are unable to match your office productivity? Or maybe you prefer working remotely, on the go, but seem to miss the sense of the community that your team provides you with? We’ll talk about how to overcome these challenges in this week’s episode of the Business, Life and Coffee Podcast! Statistics show that the number of people working from home in the US has been rising steadily in the past decade, reaching 5.2% in 2017. Lots of other parameters show that there’s a real demand for remote work but only a small percentage of companies offer this kind of flexibility. Working from home is a great opportunity and people working remotely can, in fact, be more productive than office workers. But remote work does require this one crucial element in order to be effective which is also one of the main topics of our show for this week. We’ll also share some great tips that will help you maximize your productivity when you’re working out-of-office. This week’s episode is supported by the audiobook platform Audible.

David Heinemeier Hansson's philosophy on stoicism, and his take on what constitutes "a good life," is a fascinating insight into focus, discipline, and business, all rolled into one. Creator of Ruby on Rails, co-creator of Basecamp (née 37 Signals), from not having a driver's license until 25, to 4 podiums at Le Mans, angel investor, public speaker, writer and entrepreneur, David's been uber-successful by any measure. But rather than  to burning the candle at both ends do reach his goals, David's approach to the 21st Century is aptly summed up in his latest book, "It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy At Work", a follow-up to "Rework" and "Remote: Office Not Required ". It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy At Work". Creativity comes in blocks of time, whether it's turning laps on the race track, or writing a book", and David discusses how he manages to get stuff done, as stress-less as possible.

The most popular criticism of the crypto space is its lack of stability. What if you could solve for volatility, leveraging a decentralized stablecoin to mitigate the risk associated with a cryptocurrency portfolio? And how would a market risk manager from the traditional finance and investment industry assess the current risk profile of the blockchain space? Steven Becker is the President and COO of MakerDAO, a decentralized, autonomous organization on the Ethereum blockchain. Based in Santa Cruz, California, Maker seeks to realize the potential of cryptocurrency through its Dai stablecoin, collateral loans and decentralized governance. Steven spent two decades doing market risk assessment in the traditional finance and investment space prior to joining MakerDAO. Today, Steven joins us to discuss the current risk profile for cryptocurrency and the benefits of MakerDAO's decentralized model. He shares some of the differences between traditional financial services and the crypto space and offers insight around his decision to transition to the blockchain ecosystem. Listen in for Steven's take on the development of digital cultures and learn how technology, philosophy and economics inform crypto governance dynamics. Topics Covered Steven's background in risk management Traditional finance, investment space Identify weakest point in mechanism The current risk profile for cryptocurrency Perception as brand-new industry Disruption to change to adoption The idea behind MakerDAO Provides digital cash Decentralized stablecoin Solves for volatility in portfolio Steven's experience working in a distributed team Structured meetings (Google Hangouts) 20 hours of ‘open space of operations' How MakerDAO assesses opportunities Weigh against country, jurisdiction and community Top-down approach (i.e.: crypto adoption, ROI) Steven's introduction to the crypto space Inquiry around what stablecoin looks like MakerDAO closest to idea of ideal stablecoin Steven's philosophical approach to the blockchain Concept of distributed trust Stablecoin answer to volatility Steven's favorite part of the crypto space Governing dynamics that make it work Intersection of tech, philosophy and economics Steven's insight on the blockchain's cultural value Granular categorizations of corporate structure Develop value system that aligns with cultural beliefs Connect with Steven MakeDAO https://makerdao.com/ MakerDAO on Twitter https://twitter.com/MakerDAO MakerDAO on Medium https://medium.com/makerdao MakerDAO on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/ Steven on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-becker/ Resources Rehive https://rehive.com/ The Sun Exchange https://thesunexchange.com/ Google Hangouts https://hangouts.google.com/ Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson https://www.amazon.com/Remote-Office-Required-Jason-Fried/dp/0804137501 MyCrypto https://mycrypto.com/ Taylor Monahan on Boost VC S2EP19 https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-boost-vc-podcast/season-2-ep-19-distributed-KnJjPs_iqRu/ The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else by Hernando de Soto https://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Capital-Capitalism-Triumphs-Everywhere/dp/0465016154 Connect with Boost VC Boost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/ Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/ Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVC

Technology has made remote working a reality in many organisations, unchaining us from our desks and freeing us to get stuff done no matter where we are. But what does that mean for learning? How do you develop a workforce dispersed across different regions and time zones?  To help answer this question, Ross D is joined by Jonny Anderson and Stewart Hardie from GoodPractice, alongside return-guest Gina Lodge, CEO of the Academy of Executive Coaching. If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, you can find us on Twitter @ross__dickie, @biofractal, @shardie15 or @theaoec.

Shye and Craig break down the core concepts from Remote: Office Not Required, by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. We know that remote work increases the available talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens the real estate overhead, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. But what are the best practices to bridge the gap in "face time" and relationship building? Learn how to be more productive when working remotely, and how to position your remote workforce for success.

I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring chaga. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet. People are always asking me what I use for cognitive enhancement right now, this is the answer.
