Why Some People Give and Others Just Take

The idea of love feels timeless. While the English word is only about 800 years old, the concept itself is woven into the history of nearly every culture, from the ancient Greeks to the Persians. It’s a cornerstone of every major religion and seems to have been with us since the dawn of civilization. Love is the force that brings us together, giving us strength in hard times and rallying us toward something bigger than ourselves. It’s the classic theme in stories passed down through generations: good versus evil, love versus hate. Maybe these ideas resonate so deeply because we all feel those opposing forces within ourselves.

What to Do When 99% of Your Visitors Leave

I've often heard from small business owners and people running a side hustle, "If I could just get people to try my product, I know they'd stick around for life." If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. But what if you could get that "try-before-you-buy" effect without actually giving away your core product for free?

Why Your Side Hustle's Social Media Isn't Working

I still remember this old TV commercial for a shampoo where a woman tells two friends, who then tell two more friends, and so on. It was the original vision of viral, word-of-mouth marketing. That’s the promise of social media, but in reality, many of us have been led astray.
