    This may be what the doctor ordered. One of my challenges is divorcing myself from my business. Maybe it's because I fear losing control. Or maybe it's like father like son (my dad's a self employed carpenter).

    Thanks for the feedback from you and sparechange. Had my interview and they discussed my design experience. I demonstrated competence and offered design and marketing solutions for their business. They said even if I didn't get the job, we may be able to do business together.

    I'd just go for it. The idea is the pressure would FORCE me to generate sales. Burn your bridges and all that. Others say that's impractical, and the best approach is to have your job take care of the bills, nurture your side hustle until it gets big enough to take your job's place.I will admit...

    At a crossroads with my "business"

    No worries man. I was like you once. It cost me business. Partner called me out for being too blunt. Sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Re: the last sentences, it'll go one of two ways. He'll believe me and return to Neverland, or work his a$$ off to prove me wrong. If it's...

    You guys are awesome! Sage advice! I was applying to jobs, and have a job interview Monday. If I get it, I planned to use a portion of my income to hire a salesperson. But armed with this new advice, I'm not so sure. Should I: 1. Rededicate myself to my business, master sales, even though my...

    At a crossroads with my "business"

    I agree with your sentiments, but not the delivery. You didn't have to shit on the kid like that. You probably did it as a form of tough love, but it takes a lot for someone to open up about their doubts and insecurities. Saying "quit being a pussy bro" isn't enough. What alternative have you...

    LOL! That's it? Your site is no more controversial than the typical pickup artist. The only article is see that could cause controversy is the "no rape culture" one. It looks bland and basic (get a nice Wordpress template), but the content is actually good. You should enable comments. Discussion...

    Not compared to spending power. Very few people can afford yachts, but that niche market is high income so it's worth it. Let's not bicker and help the poster out.

    Posting here for one. Hope to get some advice. I've done things by myself but it hasn't been working. I'm looking at agency proposal templates and considering joining an Advertising Association.

    Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. The LGBT community is <2% of the general population, but companies pander to them like crazy. Demographics don't matter, spending power does. And while women spend more on average, men make more.

    As for cancel culture, take a page from the politician's book. DON'T APOLOGIZE. Apologize for the way it may have been interpreted, ignore the accusations or double down. But never apologize. These people don't really believe the causes they claim to fight for. They just want POWER. To claim...

    Freelancing with no skills ?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've been in the web/graphic design game for 10+ years now, and yes, it's fairly easy to learn. The real challenges are: 1. Getting business - This ain't 1999 kid. Most companies have a website. Most of your projects will be website revamps by companies who believe their basic Wordpress site no...

    Wow! That was quick! Guess this is the Fastlane after all! I want to get ad contracts from large companies. Once I secure enough consistent contracts, I can hire employees. But is this the right path?
