The Problem Pyramid

The Problem Pyramid

If you’ve ever watched Peaky Blinders, you’ll be very familiar with Tommy of the Shelby family. I’m not yet past season 1 but so far, I’m really drawn in to the series. They did a really good job at producing the show. I can’t help but be magnetized to the character of Tommy in this […]

The Grass is Greener with Pesticide

The Grass is Greener with Pesticide

It’s no secret – there is a ton of people resigning everywhere at all organizations in all countries. That’s for sure. What’s not so sure are the exact reasons why. Perhaps people are allergic to change and it was choked down on their throats during the pandemic. Perhaps with the forced change of the pandemic, […]

The Story of How SEO Hacker was Born

The Story of How SEO Hacker was Born

I was not born rich. My family is what I would describe as the typical middle class where my dad did not even graduate college because he had to fend for himself and his parental family. My mom also grew up with little to nothing.  By God’s grace, my parents were able to save enough […]

Today Matters

Today Matters

Being a visionary, I have the tendency to keep thinking about the future as if it was the most important thing. However looking at the reality of things, the most important thing is actually what I do today. We overestimate what tomorrow can be for us and we overexaggerate the past as if it was […]

The Burden of the CEO

The Burden of the CEO

The common notion is people think it’s hella nice being CEO. Yes there’s a ton of benefits and upsides to being top-dog but you’re also the one who has to take on everyone’s biggest and most pressing problems in the team.  In earlier times in history, people would elect chieftains of their tribes. These chieftains […]

Rising up in Difficult Times

Rising up in Difficult Times

There are not many days when leading is especially difficult for me. As CEO of SEO Hacker for 12 years now, I have faced a multitude of days when problems are handed up to me and they are tough. I’m used to it – but there are still days when my spirit is not as […]

Curse of the Visionary

Curse of the Visionary

Leaders often see things first before anyone else does. If you have the gift of being a visionary, you are able to somehow to see the future ahead of everyone else in your organization. In fact, when people already see and know the things that you should have been able to foresee as a leader, […]

Cosmetic Vs. Critical Change

Cosmetic Vs. Critical Change

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to run an organization, you know that change happens. There’s a full spectrum of changes – from easy changes to difficult changes. The easy changes are what we call cosmetic changes. They require the minimum amount of effort, time, sacrifice, communication, funding and commitment. These types of changes do […]

Solomon’s Slow Fade

Solomon’s Slow Fade

If you had all the wisdom that your mind and soul can possibly have, do you think you would make the best choices in life? Have the best life possible? How about if you had all of that PLUS all the possible wealth this world can offer? It must be mind-blowing what you could do. […]

Only Love can Triumph

Only Love can Triumph

It’s the election season and there are so many opinions flying around especially on social media.

Leaving on Good Terms

Leaving on Good Terms

So many people have come and gone in SEO Hacker in the years that I have been leading the company. I’m ashamed to admit that most of the people who leave do not leave on good terms (or in good faith) at least on the part where they tell us the true reason WHY they […]

Out of Body in Spirit

Out of Body in Spirit

The patient was brain-dead, all the blood was drained out of her skull and her heart stopped beating. Clinically she was dead. But when she was revived after the procedure, she remembered everything – because she saw it all in her Spirit. This is what Lee Strobel said during his talk for the IDC 2022. […]

Depth of Gratitude

Depth of Gratitude

Gratitude has taken such a beating in our culture of instant gratification. I find that we as a people have fed our spirits the ability to be satisfied on a moment’s desire that our room for being grateful has become smaller and smaller. Rarely do we find people who have a good depth of gratitude […]

Positive in Covid

Positive in Covid

Author’s Note: This is more like a personal journal entry 🙂 It started with one of our helpers sending money back home. She went out and when she came back, we didn’t know that she had the virus already. It spread to another helper then to another and then it spread to my kids and […]

Balance in the Middle

Balance in the Middle

This year, I have committed to change my sleeping habits. From sleeping somewhere 1am to sleeping at 10pm. Consequently, I do wake up earlier – some time 6am now. Then I push myself to take a 30 minute walk in the morning sun. I admit, my skin is a lot more tanned now. My kids […]

Leading in Despair and Desperation

Leading in Despair and Desperation

Imagine coming home one day after a 3-day business trip to find that your house was burned down because an evil person decided to do you harm – then he proceeds to kidnap your spouse and children. How would you feel? Desperate, angry, hopeless – in despair. You will probably lose the will to live […]

When the Numbers are Few

When the Numbers are Few

New year, new challenges. Should we be appalled at the thorns or appreciate the roses?  For the work at SEO Hacker, 2022 is starting out as a carry-over from the heavy year-end of 2021. We were able to close a lot of new clients and so we have a ton of work that we need […]
