One of my favorite people on the planet…

(Let's just say it's someone I follow).

...he recently announced that he was leaving the platform Patreon, and that if I wanted to support him still, I would have to sign up again and enter my credit card on his website.

I am not going to tell you who it is, as I’d rather keep that private, and it’s not even interesting.

What IS interesting about it, though…

Is that I didn’t sign up again, even though I don’t mind supporting him.

Why?

Because I’m l…

Recently a reader called me "the young man", and NO, I didn't take offense... (on the contrary – how could I be offended..?)

I just wanted to give you some context...

How so?

Well, if you are a... “young" man like me...

You may remember the movie »Tango and Cash« (from 1989).

Yea?

It's from the time when Sylvester Stallone had a Danish girlfriend (Gitte Nielsen/Stallone), or rather...

The movie was made right after they broke up.

Anyway, in the movie there is a scene, where Stallone and …

Have you ever had a great idea for a campaign or sale only to have your heart sink as you think about the work that needs to be done to set it up?

You need to build a landing page, a product, tags, an email series, the automation for those emails, etc. The list goes on.

Not only does that kill your excitement and drive for the idea you just had, but it costs you money and sucks away time that you should be spending with your family or really just doing anything else.

But what if you could do …

To describe our colleague Beth, I asked our leadership team for some help.

Who is Beth to them? What is she like?

Here are some of the words they used:

Amidst words like blazing, funny, caring, and pajamas, a common theme arose – "Beth can."

"Beth is always there to help," Deanna told me. "She has a special ability to make you feel like you've been friends forever. And if you end up in a new country with no luggage, she is kind enough share pajamas and socks."

Our CEO Calvin added, …

If you’ve looked at your website builder lately, you might have noticed a few new additions. 

That’s because we recently went live in the Facebook group to talk about the what, why, and how of our redesigned website and branding as well as give you the tools to do it too (new features!). If you didn't get to attend the event, you can watch it below. 

Here's a quick summary of what we talked about:

• We brought a bolder, more masculine look to Simplero to balance out our very develo…

If you’ve been to simplero.com recently, you’ve probably noticed that it looks quite different.

To say that we’re all really excited about the new website would be an understatement. Let me explain why.

Not only is simplero.com now a proper Simplero website, built using the same website builder that most of you use and love. That means that anyone on our team can easily edit any page on the site, which will make it much easier to keep the site up to date as we add new features and experiment w…

Meet Deanna, who started out as a Virtual Assistant in a company that offers help to Simplero users but soon moved on to work in the Simplero support team.

And it didn’t stop there, because her very deep knowledge of Simplero combined with good humor, wonderful personal and organizational skills and a strong work ethic soon made it clear that she was needed elsewhere in the organization...

Earlier this year, she became the Chief of Staff. A title that is pretty hard to wear, one would say…

So, I sprained my ankle recently - for the second time in a week - and I decided the Universe was telling me that I needed to slow down. I'm trying to do too much and I need to reset. 

I do this to myself sometimes.  Somehow I've got this idea that being busy means you are valuable, needed, important. 

What a load of BS.  

I got a healthy dose of perspective today while my wife and I cleaned out the garden.  We ripped out weeds, pruned bushes, and re-potted plants to bring them inside for the…
