    So, to be honest, this will probably fail. But you're going to learn things, so it's good to be executing. Keep up the updates.

    :) I can't remember which podcast it was, but one of the episodes of the SPI podcast dealt with writing and sales copy. The answer to the question of "how to do it correctly" was simple: use your own voice. Your audience is there because they like you. Your mannerisms, your personality, the...

    Creating a Notes App

    EXECUTION 
    For anyone looking to create an app hiring someone else, I recommend you make yourself familiar with the "Mythical Man Month" and "Dreaming in Code". The similarities between creating (yet another) note taking app and (yet another) PIM are eerie. Oh yeah, also no one wants your app.

    That's not humility, that's meekness. Humility is when you can take credit for your work, but not laud it over it over people. Meekness is based off low self-confidence. You don't think you are worthy of your work. Humility is based on self-confidence. You know you are worthy of your work, but...

    I sit here at my desk, and I can feel my life draining from me. I sit in an open office arrangement, so I don't have even have the luxury of privacy. Everyone can see what everyone is doing. When the team I am on mentioned this is not comfortable to our manager, he said he wasn't going back to...

    Yep that was intentional. I'm trying to get people to look at your profile, to see that you and many other of the successful people don't sit there spamming us with images on Instagram, YouTube, SnapChat, etc. You're more interested in getting people to act than showing off.

    People should definitely be paid when they provide legitimate value, I don't think any of us would question that. The question is whether or not what you're buying is valuable, and based on @bringitnow28329's post, the course is basically trying to teach people to get rich quick through the...

    In the spirit of giving back, as you have made a difference in my life, I can answer this one. You're an expert in AdWords, so you can create a mini-course (set of videos, an ebook, etc) that you can offer as a lead to people who visit your site to get their email address. As for the content...

    How to balance things i want to do?

    MINDSET 
    The "hardcore" answer would be that you should forsake both singing and dancing until your business as successful, and then you'd have more time to dedicate to those activities. However, as both are creative and social outlets (and dancing is physical), and business is a marathon, not sprints, I...

    You need to look at past income reports, he's not a guru. A guru is someone who dispenses advice on how to do X without ever having done X before. Pat's angle is he will teach people how to start online businesses, something he's done more than once. One quick way to distinguish between gurus...

    I'm confused by this. You'd setup the arrangement on Fiverr so that you would have full rights to the software. There's nothing proprietary about this at all.

    Which is the best language to learn?

    Learning to market and learning a foreign language aren't mutually exclusive, though. As you mentioned, context is needed. If the desire to create a business dedicated to helping people quickly learn foreign languages, learning the most spoken ones is a good move.

    Habits vs. Focus. Certain activities are habits; these would be spending time with your family, daily exercise, and eating well. You should make sure to these every day, and find some way to track them. Singing and dancing is where you need to make your choice; which one of these will serve...

    I've heard that claim before, and we'll have to agree to disagree. If you're truly committed to something, be it a person, or an idea, you'll have a stake in it. So long as you have the option to leave with no consequence, you're only interested, not committed. The fact that divorce has become...
