    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    There's very few friends I've kept in touch with over the past few years as I'm building my SaaS business. Those that I've allowed in have entrepreneurial tenancies, even if they are pursuing a traditional career. Recently, one of them from Atlanta branched off from VFX contracts with Disney...

    What are best Business/Skills for Freedom?

    Sales: being able to articulate and convince a buyer, investor, partner, employee, etc to take on your vision like it's theirs. Programming: (I recommend Java as a start for a kick in the butt crash course) teaches you how to think logically and easily penetrate roadblocks.

    Making Your Bed

    MINDSET RANT 
    You're right it's not the best analogy. All of these minor tasks, making your bed, washing your cup right after you use it, putting your pencils back into their box, they add up. (It translates into action faking - look at me I'm in my office doing office things, coffee first!) While this is...

    How do you guys deal with these common sales objections?

    MINDSET 
    It doesn't seem like anyone is questioning the validity of a well crafted pitch or discovery... From my understanding, you overcome objections to move the process along and unearth what your pitch missed. Ultimately to find what the client really wants....no? At least with a client, you can...

    Would you hire Upwork salesmen?

    MARKETING 
    I've hired mostly to take over what I'm already doing/competent (programming), with the exception of a cold appointment setters. Hired 3 at low rates, and they paid for themselves but they didn't last. It seems career sales people need constant motivation with all the rejections. I've seen...
