    Re-read TMF or read Unscripted or read TGRRE?

    If you haven't read any of the other books, definitely continue on and try the other two. That being said I've read TMF/Unscripted a few times over now. Each time I return to them I find a take a little more out of it than I previously had - despite having previously taken notes. Excited to...

    She is! She started off extremely nervous but we figured this would be a really good way to build rapport and show we are serious. From day one she has been absolutely killing it. Dealt with a few condescending & rude people but has taken it in stride and we've had a ton of success with this...

    Homeschooling 101

    MINDSET 
    It's not that I'm uncomfortable with the term, but rather that I think it is extremely important for developing minds to interact with people their own age as well as adults. I've met some people who were home-schooled that definitely lacked this, and it is quite clear that they are very...

    This is a topic I discuss with my fiancee quite frequently as we plan to start a family in the not-too-distant future. We are not fond of the public school system but have flip-flopped on the idea of private schools. How did you socialize your children with others? Did you enroll them in more...

    The big deal mentioned in a previous post seems to have fallen through - haven't gotten a response from the business owner since we agreed on the deal. As many have said here before, don't celebrate until the money is in your bank account! I broke that rule. I was informed by a mutual connection...

    Thank you! This may actually be the exact solution I end up using. This will allow me to keep the maintenance contract price lower and entice them into it as it will be significantly less work than uploading each product.

    Just a bit out of my comfort zone! The majority of my customers are service-based businesses (carpenters, window washers, plumbers, etc) whereas this business is different and they also want a database w/ catalogued items for sale updated quarterly. Their main goal here is a better experience...

    @Andy Black coffee & diesel pays off again. Mentioned casually what I was doing to an acquaintance who often uses my services from my other business. He promptly connected me with an industrial manufacturer in search of a new website. $10,000 website deal closed. The website is a little...

    The websites provide plenty of value. I don't just build a website and throw it at my customers. I optimize each and every website I build to help them attract paying customers and build their business. I accomplish this through website design focused on UX, specific CTA usage, SEO optimization...

    Forever thankfully. My fiancee is Portuguese and we actually pick up her citizenship documents this Wednesday! So I will have to do some work but can get my residency, etc. By fees, I meant exactly what I am charging them - I'm losing no money, they just don't need to dig deep into their own...

    Signed & receiving payment for another new website tomorrow. A huge opportunity presented itself as well for website building. Found a way to essentially get businesses set up with a new website for free through some government programs that will cover my fees, and cost the customer nothing...

    Yes - super excited. We have really been trying to connect with owners of FB communities related to the service industry. There are a lot of shady players in these groups spamming "Websites & SEO for $300" and the outcome always leaves customers very disappointed. This seems to have made a lot...

    @Andy Black - coffee & diesel among his other suggestions have already paid off surprisingly well. Two websites are in the pipeline. One confirmed from a customer of my old business. Took the time to chat with him while I was doing work at his house and casually mentioned I was shifting into...

    Thank you for the valuable input. Definitely, one to add to the list, although we are definitely settling in Portugal for a while we are open to hopping around with the potential of permanently settling elsewhere. I've spent some time in countries with infrastructure & cultural differences...

    Looks beautiful but also a bit disconnected from the majority of Europe, have you experienced living there?

    Definitely will keep it as an option. I am definitely a bigger fan of in-person meetings vs. Zoom and have heard the same from a lot of people. Mostly from those who have to spend all day long on Zoom for work anyways, they are dying for a chance to get away from the screen.

    I'm hooked on @Andy Black's Coffee & Diesel (or in Canada... mostly gas). I've decided this morning to get up and put it to action IMMEDIATELY. I will be reaching out to my extended network with the goal of meeting with one person per 1-2 weeks for this exact purpose. While my schedule is...

    Hey! Thank you for taking the time to share this information. I've seen those energy classes but wasn't 100% sure what they determined/how they worked. We haven't really started seeking property beyond browsing for fun so we'll definitely need to do a lot of research when the day comes. I've...

    As requested by @Andy Black here are some notes I wrote up on this topic. Basically, picked out the parts I found most relevant to my business & didn't want to forget. Copy & pasting some aspects and wrote my own little notes. May be useful to someone new reading this thread as well! Also has...
