Not the Final Episode

Not the Final Episode

Commitment vs Measurement. I've decided that I only have so much bandwidth at the moment and something had to go. Also, I can see the future. Of this podcast at least. I have a much better idea of where I want this to go and what I'm creating, so I'm killing DGR for now. Sometimes you have to gut the rehab down to the frame, and this feels like the right time. I'll be back with something new - hopefully before Summer. If you stay subscribed, I'll post the new project here. Thank you, everyone, for your ideas, questions and encouragement - that's been important to me.  I'll see you on the other side... -Davey

The Forgotten Vacation

Umm...ok...I'm embarassed. I forgot to say this is vacation week. I did not die or get attacked by bears. See you on Sunday.

Following the Leader

For us solo acts, it's often hard to think of ourselves as followers. We're used to -- even expected to -- be in charge of everything, all the time. Today is about how to be both a leader and a follower at the same time and why you must follow your own leadership. Learn to treat your calendar like its the law, and just do the things you indended to. Plus, making less decisions throughout the week is something you'll learn to love. Gotta run, my calendar says it's time to work out...

Keep it Short, Stupid

Talking about (mainly) email messaging and how nobody has time or attention span to read your bloated, boring, corp.-speak emails. New strategy: get in, get out, next. 1 fact, 1 solution, 1 ask. Can you present all that in under 500 characters? Yes*. What do you think? Tell me about it here. [https://anchor.fm/davey-gets-rich/message] (* <470 chars, including this)

Lots of Laptops and Disaster Planning

After getting into it with my hosting provider - a smaller independent with delusions - I got to thinking, "What if my hosting disappeared tomorrow?" What hellish deluge would find me, clients losing email and sites? Uggh, I don't even want to go there, but I know I have to. That led me to play what-if with everything else I take for granted in my business. "What if I lost my.." Internet, electricity, Google accounts, and so on.  Guess what I'll be thining about this weekend. I also realized that the time I spend fixing some tech things might be wasted when I can just buy new stuff.  And my 2013 Chromeboook really needs to just go away.
