    INTRO

There is no need to worry, your experiences will prove useful if you learn from them. You have plenty of time to learn and adapt. Use this forum, it is...

    When someone says, "I've read 30,000 books" they are lying.

    ASK THE AI 
    Some people pretend that ? Damn that's dumb. And useless. Is there actually people to believe that level of bullshit ? Not cool.

    What is the best thing you got from the forum?

    PEOPLE 
    The first best thing I get from TFF is undeniably hope. When I first read TMF I was in a major depression, feeling like there was no way out of bullshit jobs and bullshit schools. I began to have bad thoughts. But then @MJ DeMarco told me that there was others way and that eventually my...

    EXECUTION

    Why QUANTITY will eventually lead to QUALITY - Beginner's guide

    MINDSET 
    I have the exact same conclusion from the past month. I've been a lurker on TFF for a while, and it's been a long time I'm trying to launch my business. I've always been a perfectionnist, trying to figure out perfect roadmap and skillset, but did little action. A did some sales and learned a...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I've never had a motorcycle but always wanted one. In fact buying a good one is sometime a goal to encourage my business, my Lambo Picture so to speak. But... now that I'm in my 30, life taught me to look at risks differently. I'm glad I didn't had one sooner cause I may have injured myself, or...

    MARKETING 
    I agree totally, design is a powerful tool in marketing, and a good designer will stir up interest while demonstrating the solution very fast. Add consumers behavior to this and you have images that sell. For instance in FB Ads the first link in the chain is to make a "stop-scroll" image for...

    Nearly 50. Still learning. Persistently self-sabotaging.

    INTRO 
    @guy.leckythompso you seem well versed in the Great Art of Judging Yourself. I understand that, I'm kind of a master myself. I know bad thoughts are the worst, but the past is the past, either it serve you, or it consume you. A trick a psychologist gave me was to not forcing against them (bad...

    Nearly 50. Still learning. Persistently self-sabotaging.

    INTRO 
    Hello there and welcome on the forum. First, you need to understand that your age is irrelevant. Yes it is scary, yes it is harder at 50, but everything in life is, like you seem to know very well. You age might be a disadvantage... or maybe not. You have experience in life and in your fields...

    MINDSET 
    @14ernovice I totally understand that. I'm 33, did a major depression from 29 to 30, always been a weed addict and only begin to really put my shits together now.

    What I the most effective way to get web design clients? (Clients/hour)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yes I'm realising also that, the power of upselling or just beep on the radar of people. Like updating his FB or linkedin page with a content calendar. It seem demanding but what is a few minutes a day giving away an advice with a nice image, or interesting datas with a template infography...

    1) What currently keeps a roof over your head? I have a house that I have inherited. Nonetheless I went full self-employed with no money a few months ago in order to put myself in a tense situation conducive to action, for my business, removing excuses. Pure chaos it is, but I've get more...

    What I the most effective way to get web design clients? (Clients/hour)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    A trick I have now for cold calling is to not focus on sales and results immediately, but see the call as a mean for me to train my sales skills and just get into touch with people. This way I'm more relaxed, I can do more and I have more interesting results, plus I'm hustling. In adidition...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I do webdesign for a while now (with limited success) I've get one 1000eu client by cold calling him. Others were relatives. Cold calling and emailing can be a powerful solution if you know how to do it, and you can take a psychological step back (even confirmed commercials have difficulties...
