Generally, the answer to this question is “always”, but the answer is much more involved. Sure Internet marketing is worthwhile but as with any type of marketing it is only worthwhile if it is done well. For example, you can spend thousands of dollars on a television marketing campaign but if no one sees your commercials or your commercials do not reach your target audience and generate sales, the advertising and the money that you spent was a waste of time and effort.

Many years ago, I spent some time, in conversation, and in speaking arenas, with a historian. He once told me this: “Randy, I live in the last century. And you live in the next century.” I have always been enamored with what’s next. I’ve read books on future trends from my earliest days of my work… Read More Kind of a Rant about Feeling No Longer Young and thus Out of Touch – and Thinking about focused Book Reading.

I’ve spent some time studying church growth – and church decline. I am frequently asked, especially by pastors in declining churches, what keeps a church from growing – what causes a church to decline. I have shared similar thoughts before, but in my observation, talking to dozens of pastors who struggle to get their church growing again, there are some common issues among them, of which I think we can all learn.

With the possible exception of Sesame Street ’s Oscar the Grouch, very few of us have the luxury of being able to be completely and utterly ourselves all the time at work. The rest of us are called upon to perform what psychologists call “ emotional labor ” — the effort it takes to keep your professional game face on when what you’re doing is not concordant with how you feel.

Many universal attributes underpin great leadership, from an ability to engage others to supreme communication skills. There are a host of additional skills that many people associate with great leadership, however, despite the fact that they actually undermine your ability to guide others and achieve sustainable success.

When Enron, one of the world’s largest energy companies, collapsed in 2001, it sent shock waves through the corporate world.

Actions speak louder than mission statements. If a UX feels more like “User Exploitation” than “User Experience,” business becomes ripe for disruption. Profitability predicated on customer friction, intrusion, and irritation simply isn’t sustainable. Privileging easy money over better user experience is the antithesis of customer centricity.

I’ve started a few businesses, and I can genuinely say that I didn’t start them out of a sense of moral purpose. Two other p’s are what drove me and, I would say, are what drive the other entrepreneurs I know: problem and profit. Starting a business begins by identifying a problem to be solved: a better concrete transit mixer, an easier way to book accommodation online, an automatic way to change gears in a car.

At any given moment, about 5%–7% of companies either are in free fall or are about to be. Free fall is a crisis of obsolescence and decline that can happen at any point in a company’s life cycle, but most often it affects maturing incumbents whose business model has come under competitive attack from insurgents or is no longer viable in a changing market.
