    Who Have You Thanked Today?

    MINDSET 
    I used to be miserable in the morning. Part of my morning routine now is taking my "Thank You" journal and writing down everything I am thankful for. "Damn, it is dark and cold." quickly becomes "Wow, I am alive, feel good, have a roof over my had and food to eat. Let's do this." Take nothing...

    HEALTH 
    I used to fight with this a lot. On top of that, my biggest problem was: being tired all day, no matter what. After living with this for years and accepting it as part of being "alive", I gradually changed and tweaked things. What helped me get over it during the past months: Diet I recently...

    (Personal Branding Tip) How to build a personal brand in one easy step

    MARKETING 
    Great reminder Andy, thank you! If you spend 50% of your time helping people with your skill and 50% of your time talking about how you helped them, you quickly become "the XYZ guy". Go out and help someone today. Document it and show it to others.

    I don't get it. And I will never get it. How can you expect to get away with things like that? Especially in (digital) times like this. What does that mean for your future (business) life if you are caught stealing once? Show some freaking respect for other people's work. Man, show some...

    @MJ DeMarco Something that has been happening to me lately: I sometimes don't get any notifications/alerts when people post in threads that I posted in or that I "watch". I only realized that someone had posted in these when browsing the forum list. I haven't recognized a pattern yet though...

    26yr old held back by limiting beliefs

    INTRO 
    This is negative energy. Negativity will hold you back. Learn from them. Get inspired. Take action. And never compare, analyse or judge if you don't know the context. You cannot evaluate results in isolation.

    AndyTalks with SinisterLex about Selling & Scaling

    Excellent talk, with excellent insights. My biggest take-aways are: Small vs big sales: Rather than having one client paying you $5,000 a month, having 10 smaller clients paying you $500 a month lets you figure out your processes much quicker. Developing blueprints, seeing what works and what...
