    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Update: The seeds of prospecting are slowly beginning to sprout. While we'll see if anything comes to fruition over the next two weeks, the following leads seem really promising: One of my friends from my FB post about referrals is a real estate broker and has helped me get some time to pitch...

    Power Phrases: Tools for Marketing and Self-Development

    MARKETING MINDSET 
    I've rambled a bit about my struggle with depression and how that really killed a lot of my progress from when I started my entrepreneurial journey to today. Since I was a kid (and later as an adult), I've been bounced around in different therapist chairs, on all sorts of different...

    Just wondering: Affiliate marketing and copywriting to get started?

    Good, good. That'll be a good way to augment yourself and build something cool.

    Sup?

    INTRO 
    I know that feeling well, dude. Once you strike something that you're like.. "OOOO THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE AND POTENTIAL HERE" the fun part is figuring out how you're gonna mine it. I'm kinda at that stage now myself and while I'm focused on my own stuff, I've been having fun hyping up the homies...

    Just wondering: Affiliate marketing and copywriting to get started?

    MARKETING 
    Was strictly a copywriter, can confirm. Best I did as a copywriter was like.. max out at $60k/year and I was already overworked and couldn't figure out a way to scale further except charge more for my writing which would be a tough sell -- not because I was already charging a lot but because a...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Keep killin' it, dude! I'm curious (and apologize if you've already answered this) but how do you break down your profit? For instance, how much do you reinvest back into the business vs. how much do you pay yourself with? Are things like advertising and your own salary built into business...

    OKAY, NOW WE'RE COOKING. This we can work with. So, hear me out, but I'd like to challenge you a little bit. This "insatiable lust" you talk about.. we all feel it to some extent here. If we didn't feel it before reading TMF, we definitely felt it after. But speaking just for myself, you and I...

    What would you say to your younger self, in order to help him get his money fast

    EXECUTION 
    You hit the nail on the head. Great marketing stems from great copy so knowing how to do both is a smart move. That said, if you ever need someone to brainstorm with, hmu. I'm all about that life and always down to connect with others in that niche. :D

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I didn't look up the law until just now. BUT NOW WE KNOW.. and knowing is half the battle, so I'm told. Well *cracks knuckles* I suppose I know what I must now do.

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, you make good points as far as speed/volume goes. iirc it's illegal to solicit to people in some countries (mostly in Europe) and, to a degree, some states on certain days or times. For instance, I live in Washington state and it turns out that the only timeframe limit is that...

    Taking a chance.

    INTRO 
    Hey Joey, welcome to the forum. :) I guess the biggest question I have for you right now is have you thought about what kinda system you wanna build for your new adventure getting to the fastlane? For the roadmap you speak of, you'll need: A clear definition of the destination: "make more...

    Vent about the fastlane formula

    GOLD! HOT! 
    So before I respond, I just want to recognize the absolute size one's balls have to be to start a thread like this calling out the creator of this community on the belief system he won the majority of us over with. Granted, a lot of your own mindset seems to be rife with circular logic and...

    What would you say to your younger self, in order to help him get his money fast

    EXECUTION 
    Normally yeah, if you're building up a portfolio and still kinda green, it's okay to do some free work but even then, you're doing it for social proof and potential referrals -- so you're doing it to leverage something of value that isn't money. But me, I was just giving things away because I...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Do you (or anyone else for that matter) think I should be contacting people every day or are there specific days to really try and contact people vs. days I should avoid (like weekends -- I feel like in some places, that's illegal).

    What would you say to your younger self, in order to help him get his money fast

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, similar to Black_Dragon's answer, I was making pretty good money and had some solid growth when I started out but I fumbled it all when I fell into a pretty deep depression and struggled getting myself out of it. It wasn't the system I built, the work I was doing, or the clients, but the...

    I’m a selfish bastard, and that has caused me to fail.

    A lot of my life, I've learned inverse lessons; most people are like.. "I want to be like this person so I'll do this" but I had way more experiences of "I don't want to be like this person, so I won't do that." The latter is open to waaaaay more interpretation and that's what really f*cked up...

    Good insight, friend Edgar. My project today actually is outlining (and perhaps also drafting) three blog articles to use as sales funnels that I can turn around and use for marketing purposes. I only have the home page to work with for now but yeah, I know I need both more blog articles with...

    Why I Work on 2.5 Projects Simultaneously

    Thanks @BizyDad and @Andy Black for the replies. Honestly, makes me feel a lot better. Though I suppose I put too much emphasis on finding/wanting/needing a mentor. I consistently hear things like "don't reinvent the wheel" or "find someone whose success you want to emulate" or things like that...
