    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    Why would his net worth matter? Do you think Richard Branson's advice was worthless until he hit X net worth?

    If any of her story is true, which I highly doubt, the most helpful thing you could do is link her to this forum and/or gift a copy of TMF. Am I also wrong in thinking you need some kind of phone service to use the internet, unless you access it from a public place?

    How to practice sales?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I'm not saying DON'T practice, and I really hope my post doesn't come across that way. I'm saying you can't come up with 'drills' and focus on 1000's of repetitions to boost your sales. In fact, what I tried to say is more along the lines of what you say there: "actual sales and practicing...

    How to practice sales?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I think you're getting too deep into the athlete analogy here. Athletes do drills because they have to ingrain the response, it has to be automatic. I fight professionally, we watch videos to find mistakes and drill them away. This isn't because there's an area of improvement needed, it's...

    Totally agree with you about the cover letters, my way of doing it works for my timetable, no job though pretty busy. I search for jobs in a morning, look through interesting ones and pick those I feel I can do a great job on. Cover letters get written up on a late afternoon break, and then...

    Trixii, Five Star, that makes three of us working the UK niche lol. You should stick with it Five Star. I've been using Upwork for around 3 months now as well, and have had similar experiences to Trixii. Every couple of weeks there's bigger and better paid jobs coming through, so keep at it and...

    What changes when you become an entrepreneur

    MINDSET 
    Oh and, totally agree on the "you're always on vacation" bit. I've not had a job for over a decade. Over the years I've heard most people I know at one point talk about how lucky I am, how they wish they could live my life etc. Literally for about 5 years I just smiled and nodded. The last few...

    For me, the takeaway was just on the whole 'crabs in a bucket' issue, and how people close to you will not like your aims/success etc. My extended family has a lot of internal feuds & problems, it's very split and most people don't see each other. Of the few that we do see, I have some family...

    Very appropriate vid right now, thanks Andy, gave me some much needed perspective on a couple things!

    Do you want to do it the EASY way, or the HARD way?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Pretty sure bio means have them print your brand name/design into the mold, so if the factory does supply your competitors, the products are gonna have your brand on them, making it obvious. If the brand isn't part of the mold itself, the factory can sell plain unbranded ones which hurts you a...

    The process known as Grinding.

    EXECUTION 
    Don't want to sound picky, it isn't a jab though. Jab's are lead-hand punches, Connor uses a left straight, often called the left cross/southpaw cross. As a lefty, his jab comes from his right hand.

    I'm hoping I lucked out then, gave the refund & ended contract before it was finished/feedback was left. Their auto-push for the 90%+ has to be what's making most difference. I've seen people with sub-80% landing nice jobs, so clients are probably willing to overlook it if the cover letter is...

    Fastlane done, then what? How do you manage your time?

    MINDSET 
    This. I had some goal setting advice from @AndrewNC a few months back, to think about EXACTLY what I want and what I want to do. I then realised I'm pretty much there already. There's a need to create income, though that's only to remove the stress of bills, add more freedom/options to my life...
