Friends, your greed for revenue is sacrificing the thing you think you're securing. This $3,540.47 is an invoice from my mechanic in Utah. Same mechanic we've had for over a decade. Found him when he was by himself, running a tiny one bay + office combo.  Can't...

I’ve been doing the same thing in entrepreneurship for approaching 19 years. And I think about two things often. 1 ) Do I still love SEO? Yes. SEO is consistent enough that I know what I’m walking into each day. But ever changing enough to keep it exciting and...
