What made Clive and the Spindlerman go all in?
They both had resistance at first.
This was posted in our Facebook Group recently by one of our (many) happy Simplero users.
I'm gushing! Seriously.
I was using Leadpages as I never really got my head around Simpleros landing page design interface, Leadpages was drag and drop simplicity with lots of pretty bells and whistles.
I decided to go all in with Simplero a couple of weeks ago and had the team replicate my Wordpress website.
It now looks as good and no need for integrations.…
Why we don't cotton to nitty-gritty-pedants...
(How to decide if we're a match)
Do you remember the movie Avatar?
In the scene, where Jake Sully meets the parents of his future mate, his (coming) mother-in-law lays this on him:

It is decided. My daughter will teach you our ways. Learn well, »Jakesully«, and we shall see if your insanity can be cured.

Avatar will always remain one of my all-time-favorites, and I just love that scene.
Why?
Because it’s riddled with lessons for the taking.
Let me give you an example.
…How do I say no to the guy who LITERALLY just stuck an extra $3K in my pocket?!?!
Good question. You don't.
When I asked Megan Meyers this question...
»Say, would you be willing to do do a testimonial interview for us at Simplero?«
... her reply came swiftly within the hour...

Hey Morten,
How do I say no to the guy who LITERALLY just stuck an extra $3K in my pocket?!?! 😂
But really, I think I might be Simplero’s #1 fan so it would be my pleasure.

I hope to do (and bring) the interview in a not so distant future.
But in the meantime, lemme te…
Release the kraken of energy...
... and the superpower that made Simplero happen.
Amazing, true story.
Calvin has created Simplero with a fraction of the resources that the big competitors in the market pour into their developer teams (we know this because they keep it no secret).
Simplero was basically built by him and from time to time one more person.
Now THAT is what I call a Super Power:
»Maintaining the momentum to build a great platform, that—hands down—easily competes with beats the crap out of any competito…
10 years of your life crammed into Simplero...
Fun fact:
Our customers have now uploaded so many videos to Simplero that it would take you (at least) 10 years to watch them all if you spent 8 hours a day in front of your screen and with no breaks might I add... I daresay, however, that for my part it would drive me nuts to watch videos all day long so I might need to double the number of years I spent on that (rather silly) task.
But there is a problem.
The 10 (or 20?) years worth of videos were uploaded in around 8 years with an ever inc…
Do them wrongly, and you shall fail misserably
The purpose of talking to yourself.
Many a self-development-guru has tried to convince us that affirmations can transform our lives.
The mere act of saying: »I am getting better every day« to yourself should create a state of mind in your brain that makes you do what is necessary to achieve that goal or purpose.
Well.
I don't know if it has worked for you, but I find it odd to say things I don't really believe, because... who am I kidding?
But after hearing Calvin Correli talk about a…
That's why I love the man...
(can't believe I'm telling you this)
Oh.
My.
Gosh.
Our boss, mister Calvin Correli just did the most amazingly liberating, uplifting, breathtakingly awesome, nothing-short-of-keeeewl live video on the Fakebook.
I had a feeling (from the title), that it would be good.
But after 30-40 seconds—plus through the rest of the video and for the rest of my life I guess—all I could think of was...
This.
Is.
Why.
I.
Love.
My.
Boss.
And make no mistake about it.
I do NOT call him boss b…
Never on sunday...

You know, I am a long time fan of Bruce Springsteen (well, at least NOW you know).
Once I saw a documentary from one of his recording sessions with the E Street Band, and in between two takes Bruce said to his guitarist AND always charismatic friend Little Steven Van Zandt...
(Steve played the mandolin on this song):
»Steve, I'm not sure that the 'never-on-Sunday-kinda-picking' is what I want here.«
Or something along those lines.
Anyway, everyone…
How to retrieve presents from a (not so distant) past...

In Denmark we have this lame joke, where in January we say to someone:

What was the best gift you got for Xmas this year?
= = =
And then...
When people tell us all about their favorite gift, we say:
= = =
Oh, that's strange, because it's only January.

Hohoho
The only thing funny about it is... that it reminds me of this very insightful video that Calvin did on Xmas eve LAST year—it's about removing clutter from your life, and only ke…
The one thing you should NOT do...

My wife looked very focused, when she walked into our office yesterday, I could see that I had to pay attention, so I stopped what I was doing, looked at her and said:
So, what are you up to?
I want to make a new teacher training course for my previous students or yoga teachers who took another training... An advanced Hands On Corrections class.
»Great«, I said...
»Do you want my help?
I knew she did, but I also knew that the last thing I sho…
