    EXECUTION 
    Yes... I have been trying to find anything since October. Feel I was lucky to get those 12 second+ interviews as a friend of mine who is strictly marketing and hasn't been able to land a job in 1.5 years despite being quite talented in both design and marketing. I even pivoted and learned as...

    EXECUTION 
    Hey all. I joined TFLF back in 2012 after reading The Fastlane. I wanted to build something but I lacked faith in myself, I mean, I was stuck in a $13 per hour job. So, instead of giving it a shot, I floundered around a bit. I tried my hand at self-publishing paranormal romance and didn’t do too...

    Where to go with idea to make weapons safer for law enforcement?

    IDEA 
    My husband works in a branch of Homeland Security and has an idea which would make weapons safer for law enforcement officers... but doesn't know how to design this particular 'safety'. Just looking for thoughts on where he/we could turn for advice on this. Thanks in advance!

    Kindle success, failures, and everything else - Progress Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you! Been quite a learning curve! I suppose this will be my progress thread on getting back into the publishing world. I have to thank @SinisterLex for the threads he's written on start-up funds through working with UpWork. Okay, so why do I need start-up funds for this? I'm going to...

    Kindle success, failures, and everything else - Progress Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    Hey guys. I've been a member of this forum for some time now. Just wanted to leave this here as a bit of motivation that if I can do it, so can you! Back in 2014, I started writing and publishing fiction to Amazon Select. I was in a terrible marriage at the time, with absolutely no support...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Right now I'm just focused on getting our income back to where it was before I was let go from my job... a week after I told my boss I was pregnant. (Yeah, another "poor me" story. lol) I'll scale it/grow it once we get back to that point. (Already thinking about how to do it though!)...

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hey, everyone. I've been reading and re-reading this thread over the past couple of weeks and applying the principles that @SinisterLex has been writing about to my own Upwork account. When I started two weeks ago, I had an account with a few jobs under my belt. However, I had no feedback, my...

    No, not exactly. I have about 24 titles out, but I found that I like designing covers. Been doing decent at it until the other day where I stumbles upon THE forum to market my services. I've sold 18 custom cover designs since then! I am even looking at hiring a freelancer to help me with the...

    lol. How I've missed you! :) I could blame a million things, but truth be known, I know it's simply a matter of me standing in my own way.
