Welcome to another after hours edition of 'Off The Clock,' where I share raw reflections, divine downloads, and heartfelt advice from a recovering workaholic. It's been a lonnnnng time since I've turned on the camera and hit record. Every time I would sit down at my desk in front of my Canon camera or pull out my Shure mic, I would freeze up.

Ethical sales aren't nice to have — they're a must-have, especially when you're dealing with premium products.

You don't need to resort to fear tactics or high-pressure gimmicks to seal the deal. The Insult of Bro Marketing You've...

As a business owner, especially in e-commerce, it's easy to worship the artificial god of revenue. But you cannot — and should not — expect to grow your revenue by 30% to 50% every year for more than three years in a row. It's not sustainable.

Others think your audience can't afford higher prices. Is it because of the industry you're in? Or because you think you haven't hit some magical revenue number to prove your worth? Before we dig into why, it’s important you understand that it's morally right to raise your prices to reflect the value you bring. Let's work through why it's...

Your pricing isn't just about numbers. It's about aligning your price with how your clients think and make decisions. Stop making vague, emotion-based promises and start delivering sharp, outcomes-based results. Remember, you're not just selling a service — you're selling a transformation. Your price needs to reflect the value of that transformation from the client's perspective. In short, it's about understanding the buyer's decision-making philosophy and aligning your pricing with it. Let’s...

Hey Reader, Last week I explained the benefits of sticking with one social media platform, and introduced you to the CEO mindset. But if you've been paying attention, you might notice I'm not exactly following my own advice. I'm consistently creating new content across various platforms. In fact, several months ago, I decided to reintroduce multiple platforms, including the revival of my podcast, Jereshia Said, and posting to my YouTube channel again. I promise I’m not a “teach them one...
