~ Understanding how things are built goes a long way to building better things, no matter your platform.
~ When you have a website, you have a shack in the woods—without content and marketing, there's no traffic and no one around.
~ The idea behind productizing services is to level out revenue so that it's mostly only ever-growing instead of dealing with the feast-or-famine cycle.
~ Hiring you is a ton of work, and hiring someone else is also a ton of work—so clients don’t just leave as easily as people fear.
~ From a UX standpoint, I’ve made hundreds of websites over the years, and I have a deep understanding of how user behavior differs across industries.
~ Going to lunch and getting to know the people you work with now pays dividends—because one day, they’ll be decision-makers who need what you do.
~ Social platforms sell fast, but the problem is when you make sales on another platform, those customers are not yours—you can’t contact them, and u don’t own that relationship.
