    Doing the Andy Frisella "75 Hard" Challenge

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This exactly! I knew I was doing that. I was not aware how much, though. Taking the challenge made me notice I'm doing that *a lot*. Cutting corners, taking breaks, finishing 2 minutes early, not putting 100% in because "I just ate", "the air pressure is low today", "it's gonna rain soon" or...

    Damn, you were almost halfway through... So sorry for you, mate! That's exactly what 99% of my friends don't get. "You're being too strict!" or "You can't just cut sweets/alcohol out of your diet, it will be too hard. Reduce it over time instead." And that's exactly when I know I'm on the...

    That's exactly what I feel! I think I have to restart again on day 12... I've been using a 0.5-liter cup to measure my water intake (I drink 8 of them every day). Filling the cup with only 0.45l or even 0.47l looks almost the same as filling it with 0.5l but does not add up to a gallon. I...

    [Question] At 22 years old, how do I stop life flying by so fast?

    MINDSET 
    There are two ways I am aware of. 1. Break the routine – do new things. When you were a kid, life was full of new stuff. For a newborn, everything is new – colors, shapes, eating, walking, playing. Once you grow up, everything gets repeatable. Break the routine, start new hobbies, go to new...

    I like this one. Still not 100% specific, but I will just skip the food when still in doubt. I'll stick to: no alcohol no sweets, no sweet soft drinks, no stuff with lots of added sugar (e.g. fruit yogurts, juices, lemonades) – I can still eat stuff where the added sugar is just residual, like...

    Yeah, that's a problem for me as well. Where's the border between junk food and healthy food? KFC is 100% junk, what about a pizza? A steak? Pasta at an Italian restaurant? My diet includes no sweets. Chocolate is out, soft drinks like coke are out. What about lemonade? Strawberry milkshake...

    URINATION. And I'm only half joking. Besides that - the workouts, the timing to be precise. How to plan my day around them. This. And it's not only about the challenge, I see it again and again, in my life and in others. Any kind of external motivation can only get you so far. "If you need...

    I love this so far. Just accidentally failed on day 2 :facepalm: Took a sip of my friend's soft drink (which breaks my no-sweets diet). I love how this challenge got me super aware, focused and efficient. That's the single biggest advantage, and it is just day 2.

    Okay, I just listened to the podcast episode. I'm in. Tomorrow? Nah, I still can do it today (it's 3 p.m. now).

    I'm on the fence, ha! I'm just not sure about the water and selfie parts. I'd rather do something that, besides being a part of the challenge, has a direct (positive) influence on my life - like meditation, waking up early or helping a stranger every day. I have so many things I'd like to...

    What kind of diet? Or you just figure something out for yourself (e.g. no junk food/sweets)?

    1. Psychotherapy and coaching ← worked wonders for me 2. Following a mentor/authority – a podcast, blog, course, YT channel... Even if it's a sales funnel of some kind, I have a handful of people who I've been following that tremendously changed my life. The closer I could get (read an article...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    A little update. I did NOT make the cold calls. I was super hyped during the weekend but then got totally wrecked (physically and emotionally) when I was about to call on Monday. That's my social anxiety at its finest. It took me 2 weeks to recover. I did some cold emails though, but with no...

    Does the feeling ever end?

    I second MJ on that. Self-doubt is normal and will evolve over time as you start doing new things. 'I cannot handle this many orders without an employee' 'Am I charging too little?' 'I got to my first $1M, getting to $10M will be way harder' Solution? Action. Afraid of the competition being...

    Digital Marketing / Webdesign Cold Emailing - What to expect?

    Here's a nice case study from Brian Dean (backlinko) We Analyzed 12 Million Outreach Emails. Here's What We Learned SPOILER: it's not as bad as 99% not being opened ;-) It all goes down to the value you're offering. And your copywriting skills.

    Note: it's a copy of my recent post in Fox's FB group. I thought someone here might find it valuable. ############### Just closed a $3k sale yesterday. Is that a fortune? Not really. Is it remarkable? Maybe... It is the biggest sale I've made so far, though. (And a new Minimum Level of...

    I also mentioned digital addiction as my secondary problem. What I mean by that is that I'm addicted to 'checking things'. Checking Facebook. Checking email. Checking the weather online. WTF. I realized how often I get distracted by various services, mostly Facebook. So I deleted the app from...
