Divi Chat

Do you feel organized in your business? Chaos is the enemy of productivity. What apps, tools, and/or techniques do you use to keep the chaos at bay?

Join the Divi Chat panel as they share their tips for keeping all the plates spinning...and being able to have a life outside of our web world, too!

We had so many books to chat about last week that we ran out of time to talk podcasts! Podcasts are a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest industry news, learn new tips and tricks, and be entertained.

Being in tech means keeping up to date with trends and industry standards. Running a business is a constant learning experience. So that means running a business in tech requires a LOT of continuing education!

There are many ways to continue learning. One of the most affordable and accessible is by reading books and blogs and listening to (or watching!) podcasts.

On this episode of Divi Chat the panel will share our go-to Books, Blogs, and Podcasts. What are your faves??

Do you ever feel like your business is all over the place, your brain is a pinball machine, and you just can't seem to get organized? If so, this episode of Divi Chat is for you! We'll be sharing Tools, Time Management methods, and other tips to help you get your business in order so you can focus on what's important.

Not all heroes wear capes... especially not the big chunky sections at the top of your website's home page.

What is the purpose of these sections? How can you best utilize this precious real estate? And where did this trend come from anyway?

Come hang out with the Divi Chat crew as they unmask the secrets of website hero sections.

We talk a LOT about Divi and the amazing things you can do with it. This week on Divi Chat, we are going to put our money where our mouths are and show you some of the incredible websites that have been built with this amazing tool.

Our lives revolve around software licenses. How do you handle this in your business? You need access to your clients' accounts, but you don't want to always foot the bill. Should you handle renewals (with a little markup for your trouble, of course!) or give them access to the accounts? What if you sell plugins or themes? How do you control the licensing?

Join the panel as we chat about all of these different aspects of licensing.

What would you do for a living if WordPress didn't exist? Who would your colleagues be? Would your business exist if WordPress didn't?

Have you ever asked yourself questions like these? It's amazing to be part of an open source community, but it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what that actually means.

For most of us, WordPress is at the center of our business model and the foundation of our marketable skill set....and it doesn't cost us a penny!

Have you ever considered contributing to WordPress in some way? On this week's episode of Divi Chat, we will discuss the 3 primary ways you can give back, and share some resources for doing so.

If you know of an organization or an individual that takes an active role in contributing to WordPress, please comment below and let us know! We'd love to shine a light on those who are giving back and encourage others to follow their lead.

Selling a big-ticket website is exciting. However, after the income is spent... you are out of money again.
