    What Is Deep Work.. Really?

    What Is Deep Work.. Really?

    MINDSET

    So.. what happened? We got feedback from the market about our offer. Quite simply, the way we were doing it, they did not like. However, the feedback was incredibly valuable.. And ALL of them said "if you did it this way, it would be great".. So this gave us a challenge and we had to be...

    Using Bitcoin to create wealth quickly

    HOT! INVESTING 
    @JustinBoshans “To know what will happen in the future, study the past”?? Have you ever read Nassim Taleb’s books? I’d say to do that and then see what you think about bitcoin. I was an investor in it myself and lost lot of cash, speaking from experience.

    SO! We did testing with a few different ads at $50 a day split between about 3 different ads. One of them booked 4 leads which turned into 3 appointments that I'm going to call, and it was only $15 a day, and the others booked 0! So what we did is took the whole $50/day marketing budget and...

    We are officially spending $50 / day on ads. I can already see this is a difficult game to play, we've already had to test and iterate multiple times. Michael Masterson's Ready, Fire, Aim has been extremely helpful. We are testing different sales strategies to find our OSS (optimum selling...
