    Using a hypnotist for cultivating success traits

    MINDSET 
    I haven't read that one, looks interesting! Does it come with hypnosis scripts or meditations? Sometimes those types of books incorporated written versions, and they can be really helpful tools! I am a HUGE advocate for self-hypnosis and/or audio recordings. You get mixed advice on the audio...

    Using a hypnotist for cultivating success traits

    MINDSET 
    My girlfriend is a certified hypnotherapist. When she first talked about becoming a hypnotist I assumed she meant becoming a stage performer as you mentioned. Basically, I thought she was nuts. :rofl: But she has a degree in psychology and her boss (a practicing therapist/ PsyD) has repeatedly...

    Hey, I'm glad you found value in it! I think "worse" is the wrong word here though. For example, people mow their lawns while listening to headphones to cancel out the noise. Are you aware of just how loud and bad that is for your ears? So quiet headphones would be "better"... based on my...

    But California would never do that! Besides, I can customize the plates with personalized banners and show off how unique I am! /s In reality, they already know where each of us are basically 24/7 thanks to the tiny back box in our pockets. So having your phone emit a forced, highly audible...

    Just read an interesting article about California switching to digital license plates: California drivers can now sport digital license plates on their cars I was mostly interested in the last two paragraphs: Elsewhere in the article, they mentioned that there were roughly 36 million vehicles...

    Learning a complex skill...maybe. Learning a valuable skill...definitely! Why not start learning right now? You've probably hit a ton of roadblocks with e-commerce that you could help other people with. :smile:

    Started My First Company Right Out Of College, Ready For Biz #2

    INTRO 
    Hey Davide, that's a good question and I'm happy to clear that up for you. Basically, I'm saying that I learned by creating a business that's generating revenue/profit, as opposed to going back to school, interning, buying courses, etc. I just started something and learned as I went along...

    Thanks! All of the products are digital - think Adobe Lightroom presets but in a different industry. That said, here are the big updates: First off, revenue has been down lately because I stopped releasing new content in order to restructure how I operated the business. Also, my profits for...

    Just finished a few books that were notable. #1 - Profit First by Mike Michalowicz I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I was a "by the seat of my pants" owner who didn't really budget or know where their money was going. This book really changed my perspective on that. The buckets/envelope...

    Talking about your experience being a marketing service provider was where the mindset stuff came in. Seeing that you cared, were knowledgeable, and could do the job at a high level was important. And the way you showed it was impressive. The process made me realize "oh, this is what I wish...

    Lots of good stuff, but 90% of it was your mindset. That said, here were my biggest takeaways: #1: Put the exact search term that someone typed into Google at the top of your page. Your "Plummers in Dublin" example was very illuminating and I've seen sales increase as a result of...

    You know what's worse? The dozens of other people who read this thread but ignored it and were content to let you continue on, mindlessly sharing things of zero value.

    I think you're spot on with this. Many people dismiss symbolism but it really is powerful and drives our subconscious in weird ways. With that in mind, it makes sense that ties pop up in so many situations where we're being "enslaved" or forced to follow someone else's script. Weddings, job...

    @Andy Black it was great chatting with you! Hearing your approach taught me a ton and marketers everywhere should be taking notes/watching more of your videos ;). My key takeaway on the marketing freelancer side is to connect with your client, show them you're the expert by talking them...
