We had a great interview with James Laws, the joint founder of NinjaForms and SendWP. We discussed the WordPress culture, how WordCamps can be regenerated, and how AI will affect NinjaForms. @JamesLaws @KurtvonAhnen @MananaNoMass #ai #wordpress

I want to be clear, I did not make this face for this image. šŸ˜‚. But I am looking forward to being on the show and discussing the topics.
We've got a great interview coming up with James Laws of Ninja Forms. We discuss where WordPress is going in a world of AI and the semi-schizophrenic nature of the professional world press community. Why don't you join us live with your questions? f0k0.short.gy/723aJi @NinjaForms @KurtvonAhnen @MananaNoMass #ai #wordpress #wordpress

Most people skip straight to goals. But if you don't understand what actually happened last year — where energy went, what got neglected, what surprised you — you're just guessing at what to do next.

December 26th is when I shift. The holiday is over. I've got 5-6 days to think about the year ending and the one beginning. Not rushing into resolutions. Just sitting with what was and what could be.

@KatieKeithBarn2 is a special person in my professional life. Her emails inspired me to improve my skills after my 3-year career gap. I made a promise to myself to become stronger. Every month, I enjoy reading some of her old emails, and hers always tops the list, alongside @JamesLaws. She deserves more respect from me. 🫔

As we enter 2025, full-steam ahead, what actions or systems are you putting in place to ensure it’s as successful as possible?

Watching everyone post their #CaboPress recaps reminds me how powerful that atmosphere is. Especially being around those people. I had to miss this year and have hated it. Hopefully I’ll see you all next year. Safe travels home.

That’s awesome and liberating. To all the other business owners, demonstrate that for your team and give them that same freedom. The freedom to make and learn from your mistakes is powerful.
One thing I love about being my own boss is being able to own up to my mistakes, as no one can fire me or anything than that! I've noticed that it makes me a lot more honest and helps with my fear of failure 🦾

I am completely saddened by what's happening in the WordPress community between @automattic and @wpengine. There are no real winners and the community suffers the brunt of it with the way it has been and is being handled. šŸ’”

When I unfollow someone who posts political propaganda perspectives persistently, sorry, I couldn't resist the tongue twister. It's not because I don't like them as a person or mad they hold that belief. It's because that's the least interesting part of that person and the part I don't want to engage with. I love you though...

I will often see posts and think, "that's not correct, I would like to offer my opinion." But then I think, "Why the hell does anyone care about my opinion? That post wasn't directed at me personally." That stops me 99.9% of the time. More people should give it a try.

I knew there was a reason that I find water to be my place of spiritual and emotional renewal.

The best place to relax is near water. After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass. Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

When challenges arise, there are two ways to approach them. Right now, or the hard way. Remember CDEF... Challenges deferred, expand & fester. Putting them off is always the harder way. Face challenges directly and immediately.

I have the privilege to lead a company where the notion of ā€œbusiness hoursā€ is a counter-productive and silly concept to hold on to. If the nature of your business allows for it, it’s a concept you should divest yourself of as well.

Small is fast, large is slow. The bigger the challenge you are tackling the longer it will take and the more likely it will drag on and on. Break things down into small, manageable, chunks. You will reduce the chance of failure and increase your speed at the same time.

There is only one conference that matters every... single... year. This is the one. It doesn't just change you, it changes the the realm of possibilities you operate in. If you can only attend one event this year, make sure you apply to make this the one!

CaboPress is more than just a conference; it's an investment in yourself, your business, and your future. Take the first step towards redefining your success today. As a business owner, you've poured your heart and soul into building your business. You've faced countless challenges, made tough decisions, and worked tirelessly to achieve your goals. But in the relentless pursuit of success, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters – your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to think strategically about your business's future. That's where CaboPress comes in. Unlike any other business conference you've attended, CaboPress is meticulously designed to help you step away from the daily grind, connect with like-minded leaders, and gain the clarity and insights you need to take your business to new heights. Imagine spending five days in a stunning Cabo San Lucas resort, surrounded by a carefully curated group of successful entrepreneurs who understand your challenges and share your aspirations. This is your opportunity to: - Engage in meaningful discussions that tackle the real issues you face as a business owner - Gain practical advice and fresh perspectives from industry leaders and your peers - Build deep, lasting connections with a supportive community of entrepreneurs - Recharge your batteries and rediscover the passion that drives your success At #CaboPress, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to create an immersive experience that maximizes your growth and minimizes distractions. From the intimate group size to the strategic pricing, from the forced engagement to the ample rest time, every aspect of the conference is designed with your success in mind. If you're ready to redefine success on your own terms and join a community of leaders who will support you every step of the way, then CaboPress is the conference you've been waiting for. But space is limited, and we carefully select each attendee to ensure the perfect mix of expertise, experience, and passion. Don't miss your chance to be part of this transformative event.

Here is a hard fact that stops most people from delegating effectively. It slows you down before it speeds you up. Delegation is creating clarity, setting expectations, giving feedback, and getting out of the way. The process takes time, but the benefits are worth it.
