Best value for quick consultations has changed. Now just use this simple PayPal button

Clarity, the consulting call management system that I've been using, has a new owner.  I had been using the site for years and I really liked the simple way that they were able to manage scheduling and payment.  The fees were always very reasonable.  I did a Clarity call yesterday and the call quality wasn't the best, also the new owner has changed the fee structure.

As a result, I'm going to simply start using a PayPal 'Buy Now' button for people who want to do a phone consultation.  Most of these calls run 30-45 minutes so I've set up this payment button to allow people to pay for a 60 minute call and I'll simply refund any unused minutes afterwards.

If you want to talk to me about a deal, I'm more than happy to help.

My first 'offshore' bank account. I cross the border to open a bank account in Houlton, Me.

With the recent change in the exchange rate between USD and CAD and the fees I was being charged for cross-border direct deposits, I decided to open a bank account in Maine.  Also, it was easy to hook up to my existing PayPal account.

PayPal introduces its version of Merchant Cash Advance in Australia

In yet another demonstration of how needy small business operators are for capital, PayPal has announced it will expand its lending services to Australia.

This service has been available in the US for some time.



Basically, the merchant can borrow up to 8% of their annual PayPal revenues and apportion a percentage of their future receipts through PayPal to pay off the debt.

Typically this type of financing is very expensive for merchants (see my post and video about Merchant Cash Advance here) and it shows that there is a market and a need for SMEs to borrow and a willingness to pay above average rates.

If you have capital to invest, you should be looking to Invest Local.  Buy my book to learn how.
