Work from your genius, not your excellence

I had a conversation last night with a great friend who has two tracks within her business. One brings in a lot of money, and she’s really great at it. The other is her deep passion, and she’s really awesome at that, too.

As we were talking, she realized that when she’d taken a break from the first, her life had been fantastic. She’d never felt better. Business was booming, despite barely touching it.

But as soon as she’d gotten back into that business, her suffering had started. She’d gotten …

Customizing Your Simplero Website Theme To Do What You Want

Hey everyone!

I’m Damon and I recently joined Simplero as Head of Support.

For the past few weeks I’ve been in the trenches helping to resolve your issues and your questions to understand what the Simpleristas and Simpleristos are really going through.

A common ticket we get around here is - can the Simplero theme do [insert your amazing idea]?

The fact is the default theme wasn’t built to accommodate everyone’s awesome ideas, but with a little technical chops, your Simplero theme can do jus…

What My Book Is Going to Be about (and Why)

I’ve tried to write a book at least five times in the past.

What I’ve done in the past is just sit down and write every day, and then see where it leads.

I can do that. Easily. I’ll happily write a thousand words a day or more, and pretty soon I’ll have 60,000 words and no clue where I’m going.

And then I’ve stopped.

Of course, it’s the stopping part that’s done me in.

But I don’t think this approach is right for me. I work best when I know where I’m going.

I want this time to be different…

We Launched a Mastermind and Failed ... Sort Of

Quick backstory

Since my first meeting with Richard Branson back in February, I’ve been focused on getting more into living my life purpose.

So I recently went back to have another listen to a fingerprint life purpose session I had with Baeth Davis back in 2015, and it was eye-opening.

According to my fingerprints, I’m here to be on stage, bringing the audience in my hologram, sharing my vision, like Steve Jobs.

I’m here to help people realize their core identity. And I’m here to do one-on-o…

What I Learned from a Week on Necker

calvin richard branson breakfast

I went to Necker Island for a week with a bunch of other entrepreneurs, some incredibly successful, all super generous and inspiring.

Going to Necker and meeting Richard Branson was something I’d wanted to do for a decade, and this year, the opportunity presented itself, and I jumped on it.

It was a scary thing to do. A week on Necker is not cheap. As we left the island, Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko was waiting for his turn in one of the world’s most expensive and biggest yachts, Sai…

New feature: Only show page section during a specific time period

You asked

You can now decide that a specific section on a page should only be shown during a specific time window.

Maybe there's an offer with an expiration date.

Or maybe you want to pre-schedule some special announcement.

Whatever it is, you can now do it.

Thank you for the suggestion, Jørgen Melchiorsen!

[The story of how Simplero is doing]

 

Recently I got this VERY short (but interesting) email from a new customer, whom I had just chatted with a few days before to help her get started with Simplero.

This is all she wrote: 

Thanks! We just had a great hour together.

Christi

 

She was referring to an hour she spent with our head of Concierge, Beth.

I just love getting feedback like that, but I also like to know what we specifically did, that made the customer happy...

So I asked her …

New feature: Make sections on a page or landing page conditional

Did you ever wish that you could hide a section on a page or landing page while you're working on it, but still save it, so you don't risk losing your work?

Now you can!

Did you ever wish you could make a specific section on a page only show up to some of the visitors, depending on their situation?

New feature: Countdown automations without the fuss

Ever wanted to send a series of countdown emails leading up to some event, such as a webinar, the start of a course, or a subscription renewing or expiring?

The problem was, what if people join the automation late? In that case, they'd get all of the emails before that point all at once. That's obviously not very helpful.

So we fixed it!

Now go do something useful with it!

[The story of how Simplero is doing]

 

So, did you watch Calvin's recent "State of the Simplero"-talk already?

If not, here is why you should do it.

And I would argue...

Why you should re-visit it, even if you DID watch it.

This talk is so darn riddled with gold nuggets you can use to steer clear of hazardous icebergs in your own business. I just watched it for the second time and was taking notes like crazy. I realize that your business may be a lot different from ours—but that is actu…
