    Took my First Shot at Freelancing - Failed - But Learned

    Great job @Mikkel! It feels good, doesn't it? ;) Part of communication is showing how you can help people with what you already know, today - hence, selling yourself. This is a tricky one, but you'll get it right if you keep pushing. ...and with yourself! Respect this rule and you won't be in...

    What needs to have happened for you to be happy with progress?

    This is so important for everybody, no matter which stage you are at. Solving problems you don't have is... action FAKING. 100% true. The only "problem" to always be thinking about is how to HELP more people by creating value for them. Something else I recently learned from Andy that comes...

    Woohoo! One in a row!

    Thanks for reminding me to share @Andy Black ;) "Help someone without asking anything in return." - Oh boy, this is one of the most powerful concepts EVER. Thanks @SinisterLex for constantly reminding us throughout your threads. I started doing exactly that - and the magic started to...

    Give Thanks

    PEOPLE 
    After you gave thanks, you... ...SHUT UP. And then you THINK. And. You Think AGAIN. And You Do It Once MORE. Finally, You ONLY reply when you are READY for it. Thank you for the reminder @458 ;)

    NOTABLE! 
    4. You might get inspired by them and start "vlogging" daily yourself. THANK YOU @Andy Black!

    Will you let this small problem stop you from becoming rich?

    MINDSET 
    Scratch the word "problem". Think of hurdles turning into stepping stones once you have overcome them. I got this metaphor from @Andy Black - I suggest you read his threads/comments ;)

    Great Idea.

    IDEA 
    One of the biggest time wasters during a normal 9-5: meetings. If you don't have a proper meeting culture in your office, tons of time and money down the drain. I had the "pleasure" of sitting in meetings for up to 4 hours, not only once. The result: 0. Nobody knew what to do, everybody was...

    Boxing vs mma

    MINDSET 
    What about starting with solving a pain point for amateurs/professionals within the community, if you want to stay in that industry? You've done it for a year, you know how it works and know quite some people. I am pretty sure you were in situations were you thought "This could have been...

    Freedom as an entrepreneur (Amusing PM w/Freelancer)

    MINDSET 
    Got goosebumps reading this. You are one hell of a writer (still thinking about me in that truck, cruising, with rolled up sleeves and breathing in warm air through the open window), haha ;) Pretty much sums it up @Andy Black, thanks for sharing! :)

    Time Tracking

    MINDSET 
    True that. It is action faking that is aimed at making you FEEL (more) productive. But why would you do that? You know you need to improve in that area, but what difference does it make if you know you spent 2h05 or 1h50 browsing the web. What about readjusting your focus? Focus on getting more...

    Packaging a Product

    Glad we could help! Another tip: hand them out to your family, friends and potential clients. Videotape the interaction, take notes and include the lessons learned in the feedback you'll send to your manufacturer. Don't be scared AND, most of all: don't rush with this. There is nothing more...

    Packaging a Product

    I went through this process once before, with the difference that I did the design myself. I found a manufacturer, showed him my prototype and we worked out a way that created a WIN-WIN for the both of us. I'd suggest you do the following: create the packaging in your head - define the details...

    Time Tracking

    MINDSET 
    Discipline ;) I used time tracking apps for a couple of months and got a pretty good feeling of how much time I invest/waste doing certain things. I stopped doing that though, since I started wasting a lot of time tracking my time (I used to track every minute of the day) :D I use old...

    On Reading Gold Threads

    Why not gold-threads? Some threads quickly develop in all sorts of directions AFTER the OP shared his view. Start with one thread, see for yourself. You will quickly get a feeling of how it works and who posts great content. Don't be lazy! ;)

    Holiday Stock

    Have you sold one unit yet? If not, have you pre-sold an early version, prototype or anything similar? Have you run a PPC campaign with one unit? What sort of metrics do you have to eliminate as many unknowns as possible, before you order?

    Question for MJ or anyone that has been on here awhile could answer

    I went to quite some seminars a while ago. Lesson learned: a few books on the specific topic, Google and this forum will get me much further, much quicker. Just my personal experience though.

    Was limos.com first in the industry?

    If you are the first/only one, chances are very high that this is not an industry you want to be in.

    WHY?

    MINDSET 
    Change your perspective. There are no obstacles, but challenges along your way - challenges that aim at making you better, helping you achieve more. This way of thinking is poisonous. Adapt a mindset of abundance - maybe you haven't seen this one yet...
