Feast or famine
So in my last post I explained why I don’t use a “funnel”.
In this one I will explain the result – that is the “feast or famine” income rollercoaster that I have been riding since I started this business.
Fill the funnel?
It’s a phrase you hear marketing gurus use frequently, and I really despise it.
Wow, I have a niche!
I really excited! I have a niche! I discovered this wonderful fact while doing some analysis of my business practices to try to figure out how to improve my cash flow. I dislike doing "business stuff" and usually don't much care for the answers I come up with, but...
I want to say “Thank you”

Many people make New Year’s resolutions, only to falter and fail long before the year is out.
