If I could take all of the BS about “success” and cram it into the single most actionable statement ever, it would be this: The key to success is consistency. I don’t care how cheesy it is... It’s the truth. Print it on a T-shirt. Crochet it on a wall hanging. Hashtag it on Instagram. Just don’t forget it. If you want to be successful at anything BE CONSISTENT.

I nearly screamed at my lawyer…  “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Years ago, I was finishing up a real estate deal when my lawyer told me that I had to notarize a document. No signature, no deal.  But that signature had to be from a notary, someone that’s earned the authority of the state to approve that I actually was who I said I was.

Alright... Time to let the cat out of the bag: I’m a huge Elon Musk fan. Not because he’s in the limelight most weeks, but because of how he thinks about business. Elon thinks laterally.  He comes at business problems from obscure angles and I think that’s the secret behind his genius. If you could apply even one-tenth of his innovation to your business, you’ll leave your competition in the dust and future-proof your growth.

When I was 26 years old, my company Spheric was growing steadily.  We were doing about $2.5 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), with about 16 employees. But… I felt suffocated. I was struggling to cope with the daily challenges that came with business, so I reached out to a mentor for help.  The first thing he did? He asked about my routines.

If everything in your business fell apart, and you had to rebuild from scratch… what would you do differently? This is usually a hypothetical question. But not necessarily nowadays… and definitely not for Ben Jabbawy a few years back. Ben is the founder and CEO of Privy, marketing automation software for e-commerce stores. In 2013, they raised a seed round $2 MIL from investors. 2 years later, in 2015… all they had left was $1000 in the bank. They had

Today, the tables have turned and the microphone is being flipped. Instead of interviewing a SaaS founder… …a SaaS founder is interviewing me! I’m pleased to share with you a special interview hosted by Liam Martin, co-founder of Time Doctor and co-organizer of Running Remote.  Liam is a successful entrepreneur that helps remote businesses manage their teams efficiently. A service that couldn't come at a better time with remote work taking precedence in today's world of economic uncertainty. He’s also

When I built my company Clarity.fm, I remember staying up until 3AM designing how this software would work. But I’m not a designer. So I used an awesome wireframing tool called Balsamiq. It was a dream to use. In no time at all, I had a working prototype for my SaaS, the same one that was later successfully acquired by Fundable. I love Balsamiq. And I recommend it to all “graphically challenged” software founders.

Bzzzt. Bzzzt. “Hello?” “Hi Dan, I’m calling from Google. We’re interested in potentially buying your company…” Ok, it didn’t go quite like that, but it’s true - my first call with a potential acquirer was with Google. I was super excited! I mean… Google?! They’ve got money to burn, and I was ready to take it! ...then I proceeded to make some big mistakes. 

I’ve never been one to watch wrestling.  Rarely ever step in the ring for a boxing match.  But despite not being much of a sports guy... I sure know how it feels to get slammed to the ground by life, kept in it’s chokehold, and kicked in the gut while I’m there. Failure after failure, problem after problem, it was mentors and business coaches that helped me through everything that went wrong.

Have you ever met someone that got good at something REALLY fast? I mean… learned a new language in a matter of weeks, started a new business that takes off in months or achieved a result in a tenth of the usual time? These superhumans exist. I’ve met them. And I’ll tell you something:
