Very few other technologies are ready to disrupt our future lives more than artificial intelligence. Machines are getting better and better at learning and processing information similar to human beings. As a consequence, they take over even more jobs traditionally performed by human beings. In real life, we can look forward to automated transportation (self-driving cars are already on our streets), robotic limbs and machine-powered care for the elderly. Technology will become part of everyday life even more and we will interact with it on an increasingly regular basis. Naturally, that includes the digital space and, by proxy, WordPress. We […]

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 impact are […]
