    Is it possible to reduce your ambition to become happier?

    HEALTH 
    Ambitions are like the fuel for your life. They empower you to press on and achieve better things. If you feel you're doing okay and stop pushing to do more, you will develop the disease of complacency. First, you set a target to make 1K, then 10K, and then 100K and then 1million... and so on...

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    @Kung Fu Steve Thanks for the advice. I made a couple of big mistakes while freelancing with SEO Agencies in the USA. More than 70% of my income and in some cases 90% was coming from one single client. As in MJ's book, I had no control. I've worked with them for several months... and when...

    I need your help to get out of the emergency.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Rejection is a painful part of the journey to success. Ignore that. Find something to sell, and just go out there and sell it. And then use the profits/commissions to take care of yourself and reinvest. Or find someone to help, charge the person and offer the help. The fact is that no one is...

    I guess your biggest problem is not money but lack or inadequate ability to SELL. In business, sales equal income. The more you sell, the more money you make. And that also means, the better your ability to market and sell, the faster you can make money. You're learning to code and other...
