    2 Week Update A bit premature on the full two weeks, but it just couldn't wait. Over the past two weeks, I've picked up several new clients. Over the past two days, however, I took a step in the wrong direction. You see it all over the forum, even on this thread: "Move away from Upwork."...

    Your mindset is cut from a different cloth no longer in production, Lex. In MJ's book, he spoke about reaching people. "Affect millions, make millions."
