    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    I know this book is a bit old and has older philosophies, but everytime it gets to the deaf guy story, I have to put it down and walk away. It pisses me off to no end. It gives major vibes of audism in disguise and I might be a bit too emotional about it, but it strikes home a bit too close for...

    Deaf and Daft, getting my first sale

    EXECUTION 
    Sometimes you got to face the reality that things don’t work out like you mean them to. That 30-50k deal we made, over a month ago. The client hasn’t paid yet or sent us the things they want to be fixed yet, so things are still floating around in limbo with that. The deal I made with 5k for a...

    Imagine this happened to your 28-year old kid...

    Thanks for the mention! I still feel like I'm still a rookie in all of this, but I learned a lot here so there's tons of content you can learn from and then TAKE ACTION on it. Like everyone else I tried to start a business with something I was passionate about a few years ago, that crashed and...

    You couldn't discourage SL if you tried... But what you did was discourage others who's interested in the freelance route which is the whole point of this thread and lex is trying to help them understand it is possible. You flat out said So those two statements were plain and simple, "I...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    SL has done this once and hit it out of the ballpark the first time around. Then he took on students with resounding success and people have referred to him numerous times on his talent of copywriting and how to utilize upwork. Maybe put your arrogance aside for once and accept that you're doing...

    F*ck YEAH @SinisterLex bringing down the truth again, I read your threads and try to keep up with you (A lot of information to take in from what you share). Like I mentioned in another thread somewhere that I don't really use Up work or any sort of freelancer site. I went down the route of...

    Fiverr vs Upwork (oDesk / Elance)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Looking forward to this thread myself. I don't even use Upwork at all myself. I find all of my clients through the magical portal called "GOOGLE". I'll be following this just for the ride and looking forward to the progress and pivots that take place. Also, glad you're posting this on the...

    Is Fastlane Forum your action fake?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hah, I'm sure if you made that announcement, I can imagine the uproar that will come with it people will come up with things to do to try and convince you that they need to stay so they can collect the extra 6 hours to bring home. Makes me wonder if the hourly/salary system is best for...

    Is Fastlane Forum your action fake?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Funny thing, I just posted a strip comic about this same exact issue I deal with at my work place. Everyone at my workplace celebrates fridays and dreads mondays like the rest of the United States. Where to me they both are indifferent and has no major impact on my work cycle and it drives me...

    Yeah, agreed. The momentum that carries through to the weekend need to be kept up on a higher level and then when the week comes around you can produce more. I've noticed that the opposite is true as well, if I'm sluggish during the week, the weekend suffers as well. It's all about keeping your...

    As someone that works as 9-5, and goes home and works more/harder over the weekend. This is how I feel on Fridays... And even worse on Mondays, people are slow and sluggish because they had a "break". I noticed that during my work day I'm much more productive than my peers because I have a...

    ? On Business Debt, Debt Coverage, Debt/ Equity Ratio

    Thats cool, but there was a case study, I forgot which class it was, a few people did similar things but one was at like 55-60 the other one was around 40-45 and the last one was at like 30-35, and they all asked for credit increases at 3 month intervals and only the 40-45 was able to get a...

    Deaf and Daft, getting my first sale

    EXECUTION 
    I'm laughing at my previous post, I had no idea how close I was to striking gold. Talk about a crazy week, I closed 3 different clients. Two websites and another one is a programming project. I will be outsourcing the one website which is a smaller business to someone I know and trust to do the...

    ? On Business Debt, Debt Coverage, Debt/ Equity Ratio

    Yeah, debt is a balancing act. If you declare to have no debt, that might be not as bad as having too much debt but your credit will suffer, and as a result, your business won't grow as quickly. Credit/Debt is a tool that can either help you build something or hurt yourself, if you don't know...

    ? On Business Debt, Debt Coverage, Debt/ Equity Ratio

    Awesome stuff this is the thing I really enjoyed learning about in my MBA program (don't attack me for going to school ;) ) , the biggest takeaway about debt and if you manage it properly you can negotiate with the creditors to gain more leverage, which isnt usually an issue because they want...

    This is a call that fox made for me, I use Freshbooks and I usually send an invoice once a client is closed along with a email explaining the actions i will be doing for them. I would suggest you read through this whole thread because he mentioned the same invoicing software as well.
