    Parents own me, any advice?

    PEOPLE 
    Hi Seb, I'm in kind of the same situation so I thought I would share my thoughts. I'm living with my mom right now. She's a very kind and thoughtful person. Often she has a negative mindset which is the same as you're describing, but when it pops up I just smile and nod. It's a very...

    What time do you wake up at?

    MINDSET 
    I've been sleeping at 9 PM and waking up at 5 AM for more than a year now. Before COVID I would have a tight schedule with uni. I had an hour of commute, so I would drop by the gym for a session, then go immediately to uni, which helped strengthen the habit I think. For my phone, I have it on...

    This week Proposals: 7 Interviews: 2 Jobs: 1 I got Rising Talent on Upwork. That's pretty cool! Somewhat-unrelated-but-not-really, I found a suitable place after a lot of research. I'll be moving out in a little more than a month, as I need to be here by September to start the uni year. On...

    I think I grew up a little bit today. Sad happy and proud all at the same time.

    HOT! 
    One of my hobbies is arcade video games. But it's really expensive and takes a lot of time. I haven't even touched a game for the last year however, because I'm busy designing my future life: one where I have freedom to do whatever I want. I agree. But that requires you to take action first.

    This week Proposals: 11 Interviews: 4 Jobs: 2 I had a significant failure today. One of my jobs was refactoring someone's "bad" code to make things work. I managed to do things, but I felt it wasn't up to my standards (and likely to theirs, too). I told the client quickly and refunded them. I...

    This week Proposals: 10 Interviews: 5 Jobs: 1 I got another sale this week! This was from the clients who told me I "read his mind". He contacted me again after a bit to know how long the project would take, and if I would take up his project, at the price I quoted him. I accepted. For the...

    This week Proposals: 6 Interviews: 3 Jobs: 1 A few weeks ago, I had no experience and not a single sale in my life. This week I got a job! Waiting for feedback was probably the most tense I've ever been in my life. Am I really good enough? Turns out I am: I learned a bunch of things leading...

    This week Proposals: 1 Interviews: 0 Jobs: 0 It's the last week of my internship. I had to write give my internship report and my presentation is for tommorow. So I didn't get much freelancing done. I have no more internship after this week. So I can put basically all my time into freelancing...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    People say that how you do one thing is how you do everything - I think that's true. As I type the words here, I look around at my apartment. I live alone with my mom. My room is clean, but what about the rest of the house? It's messy and there's food everywhere, and there's dust and unknown...

    One step above

    INTRO 
    Thanks Andy. It's been three months now since I made this intro, and I'm still taking action every day, although it's in different places now. This place has helped steer my direction, but it is an GPS, and a GPS only works when you're moving. Every day my old bucket (to take your phrase) is...

    Getting my life together

    EXECUTION 
    Last year, I did the same things you are planning on doing now: hitting the gym (going from skinny to not-skinny) and flipping to get income, while going to university. I agree with the above posters, you are being too hard on yourself. With what I wanted to do, I found that the more I judged...

    This week Proposals: 3 Interviews: 2 Jobs: 0 I don't make enough proposals, I think. On the interviews I get, something is blocking me from advancing further. Is it my portfolio? I don't know, and right now I don't have enough data to know any further. Freelancing status I got rejected from...
