We all love to hate email. It's a fact of life that's not going away anytime soon so we mind as well get good at writing emails that get what we want.

I share a format we use in our company that makes it easier for people to understand what we each want in an email and reduce the frustration the person on the receiving end often feels.

Listen in as Joe Tiano, who had a 20 year career as a lawyer before becoming an entrepreneur, lays out what you need to know about lawyers.

Using a marketing premium to increase sales is an old school marketing technique that has just as much power to convert people into customers as it did twenty years ago.

I explain how two companies use premiums successfully, and how one of them got me to buy their subscription product just two weeks ago.

Copy these two examples to increase the sales in your business!

We've all read statistics about entrepreneurs that say most of their businesses fail in the first year.

I decided to do some research of my own to see if this widely used statistic is true. 

I went to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, pulled the raw data and did the analysis for myself. 

Listen to this episode to hear what I found, I believe you'll be surprised.
