Secret Superhero Gear – a Kitchen Table Company

Posted: 09 May 2011 12:21 PM PDT

I’m so jazzed! Josh Fisher, our creative director at HBW, has launched a kitchen table company, Secret Superhero Gear, tee shirts and gear to apply to your inner hero.

Josh’s first shirt is the Hashtag Ninja. You’re going to want this one.

It comes in men’s and women’s cuts, and you can even customize it a little bit. But come on. Hashtag ninja? That’s you. The kind of person who knows their tweets, who makes up random hashtags ( #youdontdothatdoyou ), and who knows that’s one of your super secret powers.

By the way, @SUPR_HERO is on Twitter, manned by Josh, so say hi to him.

If you want your own Hashtag Ninja shirt today, swing by Secret Superhero Gear and pick one up today! Better still, get one for the person in your life who you think needs to be appreciated for being a hashtag ninja!

Josh says, “I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my brand-new business adventure, Secret Supr-Hero Gear! Creating a custom apparel business is something I’ve dreamed of doing for a long time.
May you have as much fun wearing the designs as I have creating them.
Gear up and go forth!”

Which Tasks Matter Most

Posted: 09 May 2011 05:02 AM PDT

I’m late writing this blog post. I don’t have any “extra” posts in drafts waiting to go. But I’m also due to send out my Blog Topics newsletter, which people have paid to receive. I also have work to do in promoting my other projects like Kitchen Table Companies. I also have to give my part to the HBW newsletter that we send out Tuesday.

On top of all this, I owe some email responses to people. I owe a post to American Express OPEN Forum. I owe a submission to Entrepreneur magazine. I owe many people many things, and none of that goes towards the new projects I’m working on launching in a few weeks (all parts of HBW – don’t faint).

But which tasks matter most? How do you decide? What are you doing in your own business to decide what matters most?

It’s not as easy as saying one should do the tasks that pay you, because you also have to do the tasks that bring in new buyers, so that more people will pay you. It’s not as easy as saying do all the prospecting first, because you have paid customers who expect something from you (no matter what your business is, really). The answering of emails is above and beyond and you just must do this, because it’s no longer cool to gripe about being too busy.

So I’m asking you. Which tasks in YOUR business matter most to you? How do you organize your day?

Tomorrow, I’ll share how I do mine.
