Read MoreStop Killing Your Ads Too Early
Marketers quit on campaigns way too fast. The knee-jerk reaction is to judge ads on a one-week return and pull the plug. That’s a mistake. My view is simple: short-term results lie, long-term signals tell the truth. If you want growth, you need to measure the whole impact, not just what shows up in one…

But a new report from Drop Site, which reviewed birth records, identification papers, a family will, and other personal documents of the two women, reveals there isn’t a single connection between the women and Soleimani, who was killed by a drone strike ordered by President Trump in 2020.

Read MoreStop Chasing Vanity Metrics, Build Profit
I see too many founders chasing likes, views, and followers. The truth is simple. Attention without revenue is a hobby. If you run a business, measure what makes the business work.

Read MoreTurn a 3-Hour Flight into a High-Impact Boardroom Meeting
Most in-flight meetings fail before takeoff. People board with loose intentions, open laptops, and let the time drift. Three hours disappear quickly when no one owns the outcome.
