    The problem in this thread is that we're confused about what we're doing. What are we doing here? Trying to be the freelancer that works harder and longer for cheaper—or maybe the savvy sales-oriented freelancer that convinces them to buy for $3,000 and then realizes that the client takes...

    Amazing job! I know a retailer that closed his wholesale sauce accounts because he realized that people were buying the product somewhere else and not visiting his main store, where he sold a lot more stuff. He realized that if he made his store the ONLY place to get the product, he could sell...

    Will employees still be useful in the future?

    MINDSET 
    A machine learning expert said that the trades for instance will be safe for quite some time. Makes sense. Do you know how hard it would be to program a robot to do finish carpentry work? Or run new water lines, or even put up sheetrock and finish it? Anything that involves fine tuned motor...

    Absolutely. Sales is a skill. And those who are great at it are very wealthy because they provide so much value.

    People have probably already said this but here is my take as a 15 year website veteran: Thank them, and run away. Now you know what a shit client looks like. One of the most valuable lessons I learned in the business is when a guy told me to look at my client list every year and fire my...

    The definitive answer to whether you should study at university

    College saved my life. It was the 90's, I flunked out the first time, got lost, held a shit job for 5 years, and was in a pretty dark place, with almost no options. I worked up the courage to go back on academic probation as a hail Mary. I ended up graduating with honors, which was the first...

    Jordan Peterson, Marcus Aurelius and Nietzsche would tell you that the secret is to find work that is meaningful and serves a higher purpose for you, and to fall in love with that work. None of us will escape pain, loss, and death. Facing it and working to create something bigger than yourself...

    I am no expert but I distinctly remember reading Thomas J Stanley's book Millionaire Next Door, and he dedicates a chapter to the financial plans of the wealthy. I recall that sometimes business owners can set up their own pension plan as a way to reduce realized income and reap the benefits of...

    Fight Club & Nietzsche: Unscripted Doctrines

    MINDSET 
    I would also say that the main difference between Fight Club and Unscripted philosophy is that Tyler wants to tear it all down, while Unscripted is about learning the game and then creating your own rules, and building things better. One model tears things down, the other builds.

    Welcome to your first FTE. If I were in your position I'd quit navel gazing and go help someone. Shift that focus to others and on finding a solution to a problem. Help an old lady by cleaning gutters. Doesn't matter. Start doing shit for people. Report back on how that made you feel. It's not...
