    Getting your natural high

    I USED to wake up, and get straight to work. If I was hungry I'd eat at the computer while I worked. I started a new routine that's got me happy, high, energized, and more productive every morning: I wake up and have breakfast. Sometimes it's just buttered toast, other times it's eggs + bacon...

    People with video experience - how to rent out a studio

    Contact the camera rental agencies in the area. Figure out which ones don't rent out their own studio space. Offer them 20% for any referrals... you'll be happily booked solid from that. Tell the ones that DO offer space that you can handle their overflow. You've just got some space and aren't...

    How I stepped out of my comfort zone and landed a client.

    I think I had a revelation today. Yesterday I felt horrible about the whole thing. This morning I'm VERY happy. I feel like I've 'absorbed' some sort of skillset, or confidence, or SOMETHING. I'm itching to call people and talk to them. And that brings me onto another idea: Direct Selling. To...

    Can websites sell for millions with just traffic, no revenue?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Stop trying to compete on price. You're mentioned making a site similar to ebay but for a niche? Well ebay charges, and they always have. There have always been 'free' competitors and alternatives to hit products. Stop worrying about it. Make YOUR thing as good as possible. People pay for...

    Designer from the Bay Area looking for freedom

    I recently created a manifesto for my business (currently unpublished) and I bring up the idea of creative businesses. You know how to program... does this mean you make a living as a programmer? Does it mean you productize code or sell infoproducts on how to code? Maybe. But I think the more...

    How I stepped out of my comfort zone and landed a client.

    I just got off the phone with a potential client. Actually it was a job interview. I could use some quick cash to get myself out of my situation and I need some capital for a project I’m working on. It was a 5 person B2B organization hiring for a director of marketing. The job paid 70K/year...

    The Road to Success is Paved Alone - Entrepreneurial Depression

    I have a lot of pent up rage on the subject. I don't like to complain (pointless) but I'll take this opportunity to let off some steam. I don't think entrepreneurs are risk seeking people. I think entrepreneurs are risk averse. To me, it's risky to rely on a job. To me, it's risky to have fun...

    Dilemma: 21 years old, High paying job or focus on the Fastlane?

    I don't think MJ wasn't jobless/homeless while building limos.. I think he alternated between bottom barrel low-paying jobs to pay the bills while building it. He wasn't in control of his time at that point
