    You already know enough

    MINDSET 
    We already know enough. But people don't search for information. They search for distractions, and I am guilty of that.

    STOP Your Mind From PROCRASTINATING!

    MINDSET 
    I guess all the above are true. However, I have observed three reasons for procrastination to myself and others: 1. Stress because of unrealistic goals that create negative expectations. They can be difficult activities and tasks that discourage someone who is not ready for that as well. 2. Too...

    So many possible vehicles to drive down the Fastlane, I'm overwhelmed.

    It is not the business idea. It's the execution and the value that you deliver. Everyone can start a blog, create an account on Upwork, or build a store on Shopify. How can you add more value than the average blogger and freelancer? What can you do better? There are blogs with thousands of...

    What business can I start with $2,000 ?

    INTRO 
    In my opinion, you should not spend more than $50-$100. Figure out a way to earn your first money or make a sale on the internet. If you can earn any amount of money, you can scale it. I would search for different websites, marketplaces, blogs, and videos to find something I can do. Be careful...

    Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

    HOT! 
    If people search for an evergreen topic like self-improvement in English, they will search for it in every other language. They also search for money, business, fitness, health, etc. Before you decide if it works for you, make sure that you have published enough content out there. Four videos...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    My first sale was very simple. Started a blog, I wrote almost 100 posts in ten months and got my first affiliate marketing sale. It was a nice $8 profit for 10 months of work.:rofl::rofl::rofl: Ok, I made more sales later. My first freelance sale was on Upwork. I created a profile, sent a few...

    Where do you meet ambitious people?

    PEOPLE 
    Ok, I understand the problem and why you used these words. I had the same problem in the beginning. My friends started talking behind my back when they realized I would not find another job. They just wanted me to fail and give up. When I had some results, I could not wait to tell them and...

    Where do you meet ambitious people?

    PEOPLE 
    You are more ambitious than your friends. Great! But are you ambitious enough to become my friend? My point is that finding new friends that have the same interests is fine. Rejecting people because you think you are better is not fine. And if you believe that you do something better...

    Can't Hurt Me - David Goggins

    It's an amazing book. Many of the things that mentioned inside should be common sense. Face your fears, be disciplined, do the work, tell the truth to yourself, don't be afraid to fail, etc. Ancient cultures used to embrace failure, rejection, and death for noble reasons. Today, we are weak...

    I think after 5 years I quit but what's next?

    HOT! FTE 
    If I need to take some days off, I take some days off. It's possible to think about my business when I don't work. I think it's ok.

    I think after 5 years I quit but what's next?

    HOT! FTE 
    I am not in the dropshipping business but I have felt like that before in my projects. I wanted to quit or change businesses many times in the last years. But I don't believe there is a wrong road. We learn from everything and move forward. You have probably learned some skills that you could...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I believe that there are aliens in the universe but don't believe the theories of the ancient civilizations and the other things that people say. People have created thousands of gods and mythical characters over the years to explain their limitations. Some people do the same thing today by...

    What are the keys for right decisions?

    Social programming, past experiences, other people's opinions, and your own desires are some of the factors that affect your decisions. Usually, people avoid the most painful decision. In some cases, they go for their desires. People predict the possible outcomes from their decisions based on...

    Hello From Greece

    INTRO 
    Hello! I earn more money from freelancing. But my blog makes some money with AdSense and affiliate offers. My clients are my first priority. When I have free time or not enough orders, I blog. If I had to choose one of them, I would start an agency.

    Expanding my entrepreneurial horizons

    INTRO 
    I don't claim to be a great freelancer but use the words by Unscripted to mention that we can solve the problem of entry in crowded business models. Every business has some competition. Even if we find a unique idea, people will try to copy us sooner or later.

    INTRO 
    Executional excellence can overcome the Commandment of Entry. Many people make pizza but if your pizza is great, you will sell it.

    Money Doesn't Buy HappYness?

    I understand your point. Money isn't everything and I agree with that. However, happiness is just a state of mind. It has nothing to do with money, hobbies, health, and friends. On the other hand, I believe that money can buy freedom. I don't care about expensive cars, houses, and stuff. They...

    Hello From Greece

    INTRO 
    Yes, I have read the books. I will consider it as a business model. I have heard for some people that tried to sell olive oil in Europe but most of them stopped it after a while.

    Hello From Greece

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the suggestion! We make olive oil in our family. My parents have some trees and work on that on the side. They have different full-time jobs. I don't know how much does it cost to export it and what it takes.

    Hello From Greece

    INTRO 
    I started with reviews on different survey sites, affiliate programs, and GPT sites. It was a suggestion from a program and had a lot of competition. I try to add more topics these days and feel a little tired of writing reviews. I have considered quitting it and focus on freelancing many times.
