We’ve got a special one for you this week! So movies are something we often talk about at the office. We find ourselves deep in conversation about how good a movie was, arguing about what is better or worse, and quoting our favorite lines. After some time, we realized we needed to put together a list of the most iconic movie soundtrack tunes. (Needless to say, this is just some of our faves. This is not a definitive list in any way haha)
Read MoreYour best story involves not just the fun, but the falls. You can love coffee sure (it's the greatest thing on earth, of course) but why do you need that coffee so desperately? How many sleepless nights, approaching deadlines and crying children make consuming 6 cups a day necessary? Trust that your story, in it's ups and downs, is worth getting behind.
Read MoreThis week’s playlist is a bit different! A few of us a the office are attending a Fleet Foxes concert this week, and it has us playing their music on repeat! With this immediately on our minds, we thought we’d share our favorite album :) Fleet Foxes are an extremely talented Indie folk band that has a very melodic feel and are known for their vocal harmonies.
Read MoreA few months ago, I decided to do a wardrobe overhaul. If you’ve ever participated in a good ole fashioned spring clean, you know how invigorating it can be, especially if you’re thorough. You hold onto the value that already exists while making way for new value providers.
Read MoreEveryone likes an underdog story. It’s why these stories of humble tech startups, turned multi-billion dollar industry-changers are so fascinating. A team of scrapy, driven individuals, build something small but mighty and that in turn creates belief. Belief that if they just had a little more _______, everything would be perfect.
Read MoreLast week we were feeling nostalgic (this happens often), and were talking about the music we spent our teenage years listening to. From the early 2000’s through about 2008, there was a deep wave of rock and alternative music that will always stay with us. All these years later, and they’ve aged nicely! We’re hoping this one will bring back some old memories for you!
Read MoreWe all dread disappointment. We get our hopes up for the perfect outcome, and when it doesn’t arrive, we feel completely at a loss. Maybe (in a very profound way) we need to feel that confusion, that despair, that frustration.
After all, sometimes unpleasant things are good for us in the long run, and so it is with disappointment (unlike mandatory childhood cabbage, which I maintain should be criminal).
Read MoreYou search for ways to simplify and organize your business but instead get overwhelmed by confusing terms. Dubsado could be called any of those terms, but what do they mean? Why do they matter to your business?
Though those terms are relatively interchangeable, understanding them is important. Really knowing what a CRM is might explain why Dubsado could be the thing that takes the pain out of running your business.
Read MoreFor this week’s playlist, we asked the youngin’ of the office, Dylan, to show us his favorite tunes. He strung together some newer breakout artists in recent years in the Rap/R&B scene, as well as some Drake! (which is never a bad thing)
Read MoreI was on a drive listening to one of my favorite podcasts and thought to myself, “I could totally do that.” As soon as the initial burst of belief wore off, I was already doubting myself. It couldn’t actually be that easy to do, right? A quick scroll through the more than 500,000 active podcasts on Apple quickly suggested that yes, it might in fact by THAT easy.
Read MoreLast week we had the chance to introduce you to two of our newest team members :) We wasted little time and asked them to prep their ultimate playlist so share with you all. This week, Mo put together some of her current faves.
Read MoreFor this week’s jams, we put together a short hip-hop playlist with some oldies and some new gems :) It’s got some great vibes and is great for any setting!
Read MoreAt our most recent huddle, we had two amazing Dubsters who have run their business entirely via referrals! Our minds were blown further when we learned that one of them wasn’t using a website for their business and the other had no social media accounts.
Read MoreAs business owners, one of the greatest challenges we face is the act of really selling our products and services. I mean, let’s be honest - a pushy salesperson can be downright cringe-worthy! I wouldn’t even blame you if reading the word ‘salesperson’ just now made you wince.
Read MoreMastery is elusive. It's always right in front of us. Similar to a carrot in front of the horse, we keep reaching forward, hoping to close the gap between where our skills are and where we hope them to be.
Read MoreThis week’s playlist is by me, Becca! Woo! Everyone in the office kinda laughed when it came time for me to do the Spotify list. I don’t listen to much music. In fact, the **only** time I do listen to music is when I workout.
Read MoreYou know when you’re scrolling through Instagram, and you pass the same stock photo 3 times? Sometimes, it seems like your entire feed is conspiring together to stay in the same color pallet. It can be easy to forget that behind a seemingly singular feed, are individuals with unique motivations, backgrounds, and obstacles.
Read MoreLast week we had a chance to listen to Joe’s mix of electronic, rap and R&B. This week, Jon put together a list of songs that he loves to listen to while programming. (In other words, the music playing in his headphones while working to build and improve the features we work with everyday!)
Read MoreThink about it, you start the new year feeling excited to accomplish the big goals, to do the things you’ve never done and to get work done like never before. Before you know it, old habits creep in and you find yourself settling for whatever you get, versus working strategically for what you want. You can work hard every day, but without a strategy, all that hard work can’t fully meet the potential or yield the results you’re truly after.
Read MoreWe are really here...year two! I love looking back at the very early stages of Dubsado because so much of the growth and struggles we've seen in our business are metaphors for what happens in our lives. Growing a business is just like raising a kid. The first 6 months you're not going to get a whole lot of sleep.
