    Had a very nice day off yesterday (well, I worked for about an hour to delegate some things). My dad was in town so we explored Denver's breweries a bit. Facing another challenge today that I'm practicing framing as an obstacle to excellence. Problem is, I can feel my VA starting to slack off...

    All rings so true man. Thanks for the reply. It reminds me of something I heard from Gary Vee that I loved. Something like "if you're trying to be a millionaire, you have to respect how hard it is. 99% of people never get there. Respect it and know that it's going to be hard. It should be hard."

    That's definitely the issue. It's perfectionism. There's a conflict within my mind regarding it. I see it as a good thing because even if I don't reach perfection, I'm far above what most others are doing, but then at the same time, I know it's the source of my stress. Excellence is a great way...

    I'm going to use this thread as a bit of therapy for myself and I'll try to provide some value along the way. Things are moving forward but I must admit, the stress has been absurd the past week and something happened today that almost tips the scale so I'm here to blow off some steam. I'm way...

    Have You Read Psycho-Cybernetics? (& Know of Similar?)

    Biology of belief. Some parts of the book are pretty scientific and hard to read through, but it's f'in gold imo.

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I've reduced my meat consumption about 90% after watching Earthlings (made me cry really, really hard multiple times), but I still struggle eliminating it completely. I went 3 months fully vegan and then emotional issues caused me to fall back into not caring as much again. One thing I'll say...

    That's crazy! I had another crazy coincidence today too with someone else.. very strange. PM me and I'll give you some pointers. Anyway, in regards to continuation of the thread, I think a large part of my problem is having 0 social life. I was just in Williams AZ and I was just hanging out in...

    Marijuana / Medical Cannabis Industry and Their Stocks

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I do a lot of copywriting for startups and you wouldn't believe how many people are coming to me to write for their new marijuana business in the past month. It's even more than the crypto requests I got back when that had its blowup.

    Yeah a lot of what I wrote in there is pretty common I suppose. I could probably create some kind of template where I just need to plug in a few things to tailor it to their specific business. Thanks for the info I will check him out!

    Yes, but I think it's too early. I think even with my limited work capacity, I can turn it into a quarter million dollar business by this time next year. Plus, I wouldn't know what to get into after I sell it.

    I was unaware of Filipino language ability. Thanks for that. For context on what it looks like for me to make a sale, here's what it is: Hi Josh, I just had a look. What I noticed right away with your draft is that you're not connecting with the readers pain points right off the bat. You want...

    The issue I have there is that I would need a VA who can speak professional English without costing too much. My current VA is U.S. based because I need someone to speak perfect, professional English. And I even have trouble having her handle client consultations/quote builds because you have...

    You're 100% right. Thank you for forcing me to think about it again. I really need to develop checklists/guides for these things so that almost anyone can just plug in and do them. I think editing should be where I start. I can make a guide that will tell my editor what to look for and then...

    All the work is already taken care of by copywriters. My VA is only available 5 hrs a day M-F, and I get prospect inquiries at all hours of the day because it's global. I usually wake up to 3-5 inquiries/day from people on the other side of the world. And the weekends don't slow down either...

    Typical day looks like this, from 9am to 8pm: 2-3 hours: Answer prospect inquiries/draw up quote and make the sale - dislike. I have my VA do as much as possible. The barrier: I need someone to answer inquiries as they come up, which is unrealistic to ask of an employee, but also critical to...

    Hey guys! I have kind of a unique story so I'll cliff it: - Graduated college in 2014, read TMF and dropped the corporate job I had lined up - Move to Phoenix with no plan, "supported" myself for 4 years with freelance writing -I put supported in quotes because I put myself 40k in debt by the...

    Staying healthy as an entrepreneur

    I spend about 2 hours every morning working out and my diet is impeccable, but it leaves less time for work of course. Sometimes I get upset that someone is working 2 hours longer than me every day. I lift 4x a week and hike Camelback 3x a week (lots of guys from AZ will know how long this hike...

    Breakthrough Advertising is one I need to make time to read. Everyone always says it's a gamechanger. And thanks :D Normally I show teeth, but Dwight Schrute says showing one's teeth is a sign of weakness.
