White Label Wordpress For the Ultimate User Experience | Art of Blog
White-labeling WordPress goes beyond removing dashboard widgets and replacing WP logos with your own. That is where it begins, but it oftentimes requires a bit more “customer service creativity” to provide your clients with the best overall experience. The following is a list of white-labeling solutions that I believe offer my clients that extra bit of awesomeness. I’m hardly an advanced developer, so these examples should be easy enough for those with at least a working knowledge of WordPress theme development.

The Cohen-Miller Report: We Re-orged The Farm, But We’re Still Stuck In Silos « In-HOWse
Having worked with lots of teams in a wide range of in-house creative and marketing environments, I can say with certainty that the phrase we hear more than any other is “we’re a very siloed organization and we’re going to re-organize so we can collaborate more”.

Siloed? What does that mean? That you work in a barnyard?

The Stealth Mode: Trada’s Position on Staying Stealth
Let’s just start right in with my position: I am a firm believer in t value of stealth mode if used in the right way. Of course, there are exceptions to this, so I’m not making a blanket statement that the every company should do things this way. We’ve been in stealth mode at Trada for almost 18 months now. You’re reading this because we finally felt it was time to change that. Stealth mode has been a fundamental tenant of our approach to building the company, and I think it has served us well...

Breaking The Scarcity Mindset: How To Afford Anything You Want
The reason why some people are able to generate all the money they need to get what they want in their business (and their life) comes down their specific, empowering beliefs about money. It’s not because of some feel-good mysticism, like “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction,” and it’s not a result of their particular talents (that you think “If only I had their skills, I could be as successful as they are. Oh, well …”).

Sure, talent plays a role in enhancing the amount of money people earn (and the ease of the earning), but it’s not the key factor. What makes the fundamental difference between the haves and the have-nots is the strength of four particular beliefs:

Mentoring Is Overrated. Try Tutoring Instead - Conversation Starter - HarvardBusiness.org
The idea that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it may be the bane of undergraduates left to the mercies of graduate teaching assistants, but it's remarkably true. In medical school, the cliché "See one; do one; teach one" has become a dominant pedagogical principle. In fact, George Bernard Shaw's notorious anti-educational quip gets flipped — instead of "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach," it's "Those who teach effectively learn how to do."
