    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thank you for the fast answer! That might be the reason - all of them run quite small businesses and have too much time. Most of the time, they built their last website on their own using some kind of website builder, but it neither looked or performed good. So I either created a complete...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    What do you guys do when your client has already a website design in mind? Oftentimes there is a reason they are outsourcing design & development to me. It's because they don't have an eye for good and clean design. Yet they send me links of their competition's website and want me to recreate...

    AndyTalks with @The-J about Creating Freelancing J.O.B.s by Accident

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Thank you for recording the talk @Andy Black and @The-J . It was helpful to hear you "open up" about both your strength and weaknesses - thank you for being so honest. There were some nuggets in there, which I can't list - but I want to try and answer the original question (as a summary for...

    What would you do with $1,000?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Right now, money is a safety net for me. It allows me to take 'riskier' opportunities. The 1000€ allow you to take on freelancing jobs that you are not 100% comfortable in - if you can't solve the problem, you can spend the money to get another freelancer on board. The 1000€ allow you to buy...

    The Fail Thread

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Or they quit the business before making money. Don't get me wrong, quitting because you realise this business won't work out is good - quitting because you are afraid of progress is not. This is a 'message' to half a year younger me: Don't quit because of your fear of the unknown. Don''t...

    Rep bank $0? How it mimics your real life bank.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I thought the same. What I found out so far: 1. You can add value by asking good questions. Not stuff you can easily search, but questions that help explain the topic more and questions that help others too. 2. You can write down, what you learned from a thread and how that's going to affect...

    BIG a$$ ROCK

    HOT! MINDSET 
    @V8Bill @loop101 When I joined this forum, I was the exact person those posts talk about. Take a look at my older posts. Sometimes it helps to look for the reason people react the way they do. In the beginning, some posts and threads got ignored. I was bummed out - spending time writing...

    Marshmallows and Gratification

    MINDSET 
    The question is, how does one learn to delay instant gratification? My initial idea: Make it a habit - for the first 4 weeks you have to power through it and use every ounce of willpower you have. until the decisions get easier. I can't link it right now, but the order of "Be - Do - Have" will...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'm struggling with this a lot of parts of my life. What helped me so far was to set process related goals instead of event related goals. Short example from my training: I always wanted to hold a handstand, becaus it's fun and cool. My goal was something like "hold it for 30sec" or "hold it...

    What's the Point of Landing Page Copy?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    First, good job on understanding and applying the knowledge from Andy's posts! //I haven't worked on LP Copy yet, so these are just my thoughts// Bill reads the title and is happy that he is on the right site - he does not know you or the course though. He then reads three bullet points, your...

    What is needed to start a online company?

    HOT! 
    What I meant is that I was in you shoes mindset-wise. How would knowing about my business help you with yours? The truth is, it took me way too long to find the first person to help. There are a lot of reasons why, and all of them had to do with my mindset & beliefs. I got my first client...

    What is needed to start a online company?

    HOT! 
    Right now you are looking for someone to hand you the masterplan. The Guide for success. That's not going to happen. There is a search function on this forum. There is Google for the stuff you don't understand. Use both. Most of your questions could be answered by a quick search. The rest can...

    Social Media For The Most Boring Product Ever?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Don't go on social Media. Go where your customers are. If they are on Social Media, go there. If they are on facebook, do they want to buy recoursses for their company? Or forget their company and communicate with their friends? Try to find a place where your customers are actively thinking...

    What worked in those businesses? What did not work in those businesses? And more importantly: Why did you fail (and what made you stop)? A limiting belief, wrong foundation, bad product-founder fit? And now, can you combine what did worked? In the best case, might one experience from the...

    The Emotional Journey of Creating Anything Great

    EXECUTION 
    Wantrepeneurs drown in the swamp of despair. They get rescued and start again, on a new hill. And drown again. In the past I did this as well - sometimes I did not even get to the swamp. But now I am learning to swim :)
