Hello Mixergy – How To Systemize & Automate Your Business To Replace Yourself

10, Oct 2011

It turns out a “how-to” interview I did with Andrew Warner of Mixergy got published today. Happy Thanksgiving in Canada, indeed. :)

When Andrew asked me to share, I was honoured. Andrew accesses very cool people in business and tech, and asks them the deeper questions we all wonder about. Luckily, I was only doing a “how-to” interview, haha.

I hope my contribution of information furthers what Andrew is working to put out there. I can’t recall picking a Mixergy interview to watch and being disappointed. It’s quality stuff.

One skillset that I’ve learnt and and continued to develop over the last 12 years is systemizing and automating things in businesses. I hope you enjoy it and future posts on systemizing and automating in a business.

How did this happen?

How Twitter makes me a better writer for projects and products.

7, Nov 2010

I’ve been piecing together some realizations about the value of Twitter, to how I write as a developer, of projects and products, for myself and clients.

We’ve all heard it: The ability to learn and apply how to communicate with skill is priceless, no matter what we do. At the top of most fields we will often find the best communicators. The jury might be out on other things, but they do know how to share their message.

Being limited to 140 characters per message in Twitter, I’ve had to get very good at expressing my thoughts and ideas simply and clearly for maximum impact. It doesn’t have to be bold, or brash, just clear. In this way, Twitter has become one pencil sharpener of expressing my thoughts and ideas. How does it do that?

The long and short of it is this: When working on a project, product, business, or startups, we’re in the boat of having
