Recurring Revenue & Extending Your Team

Recurring Revenue is the Name of the Game If you're running a digital agency, creating recurring revenue is critical. But to do that, you likely have to extend your team. And just the other day, I told you that more resources aren't always the answer. But today I want to suggest an approach that lowers, not increases, the complexity of your business. I told you more resources don't always help because each additional person you add increases the complexity of managing a larger team, and the complexity of the communication between them.

Endangering Ecosystem Flexibility

What made WordPress incredible (and helped it grow) If you were around in the old days, like 2005, there were a lot of different blogging platforms. You could find them using a variety of different programming languages (in case you wanted to make modifications), but each one came with some core features that made it easy to create blogs (and later websites). I remember my brother and I comparing notes. He was looking at Community Server (later Telligent Community) and he even went to work for them. I had been using a different .NET product, ca . . .

More Resources Won’t Help

I remember reading a story, when I was first managing people, about Bill Gates and his approach to resources at Microsoft. According to the story, he regularly rejected requests to add resources to the development teams. When I first heard it, I was managing a team of three software developers. I thought his rejection was a bit foolish and could see all sorts of reasons why teams needed to grow. I was also twenty five. I wondered if the real reason he rejected staff increases was that he only wanted the smartest people at Microsoft. This was in . . . [More]

How to Scale Your Business Using Virtual Assistants (VAs)

If you’ve run an agency for more than a few minutes, you know all too well the struggles of trying to grow. Most of us started as solopreneurs. After all, without the clients and cash flow to support employees, we can’t hire them in the first place. Some settled in once they hit a particular revenue goal. And others worked like maniacs until they could afford to outsource or hire additional help.  The latter is a critical step in real growth because, let’s face it—there are only so many hours in a day, which means your income and . . .

When the reciprocity principle goes wrong

What is the reciprocity principle? If you've never heard of the reciprocity principle, you've surely experienced it. If I say to you, “thank you,” what are you going to say back? If I pay you a compliment, like, “I love your outfit,” you'll likely figure out some way to return a compliment. In defining reciprocity, the folks at verywellmind explain it well. Reciprocity is a process of exchanging things with other people in order to gain a mutual benefit. The norm of reciprocity, sometimes referred to as the rule of reciprocity, is a soc . . . [More]
