A First Sloppy Video

December 21st, 2009 by Mark · 16 Comments

This is so long overdue, folks. First, it took me forever to actually get a video camera (yes, that’s an Amazon affiliate link) that’s easy to use. I love the camera- it is easy to use. And it’s got an external audio miniplug, which is just dreamy.
Then, I got shy- what in the heck do [...]

Three Years to Nowhere

November 16th, 2009 by Mark · 17 Comments

Three years ago I made a big decision. I was confronted with whether I wanted to keep Heart of Business as it was–basically my personal practice and the classes I taught–or whether I wanted to build a company.
I spent time in Remembrance. I listened to my heart. And what I saw was that I really [...]

Revisiting Moses on Teaching

September 29th, 2009 by Mark · No Comments

This week the Heart of Business Momentum course began, AND we relaunched the Business Oasis (it was badly in need of a facelift since it’s original launch in 2005). Crazy busy. So I gave myself the mercy of reprinting an article. And it is a good reminder for me, because it’s all about teaching, getting [...]

How a Bigger Small Business Avoids Overwhelm

Spouses Working Together

May 19th, 2009 by Mark · 5 Comments

This morning I found an email from a client who asked this painful question about working together as spouses:

The Most Wearing Two Weeks Imaginable

April 5th, 2009 by Mark · 25 Comments

About two weeks ago, my wife Holly and I planned our first date, with friends watching our boys, since November 11, 2008- which is when our aforementioned adopted twin sons were born. If you’re a parent, especially a parent of twins, or know someone, you know why five months had gone by without a date.

Getting Paid . . . Eventually . . . After Having to Ask

December 19th, 2008 by Kate · 13 Comments

Throughout 2008, we had an interesting, uh, adventure in hiring, before we found our infrastructure queen, Kate Williams. Kate is blogging the Insider View, as previously self-employed and now working with us. I expect that she’s going to embarrass the crumb out of me. The intention, however, is to be as transparent in our [...]
