Recently I was given the opportunity to write a guest post over at Ithemes. They are the top dog in my mind when it comes to producing and distributing Customized WordPress Themes.

If you have a non profit, small business or ministry, you know this; but repetition can never hurt. If you get a chance to speak for a group, or write a guest post on a blog, or be interviewed for a podcast, say yes even if you’re not ready. Even if things are not perfect. Even if the timing is bad. Say yes.

To paraphrase Abe Lincoln said ” I will study and prepare and one day my chance will come.” Was he a prophet or what? Failure after failure after failure prepared him to lead our country through a dire strait.

It won’t be perfect the first time or the second, but soon you be riding a bike without the training wheels.

Here is the article I wrote. It’s about bootstrapping your business or non profit using WordPress and Ithemes. You really should read it. It’s the kind of thing you’ll look back on and say I’m glad we positioned ourselves to capitalize on these trends.
