    AndyTalks to Nico about Graphic Design & Selling Services

    Golden nugget right there: Owners want someone they can meet. The internet is new for them...less than 10 years old. They know they need it, but over the past 20-30 years, the way they've done business was over the phone and in person. Meet them halfway, and you can outperform multi-million...

    Self-identification is destructive. Your identity is not actually yours.

    MINDSET 
    It's literally what half of your OP is about. You switch your premise from ignoring self identity, to ignoring reality altogether. Consider revising the latter half, so you don't end up in the "now" exactly like "We are taught to live this way from our day 1."

    What does speed have to do with leveraging your previous successes? Execution speed and success can correlate, but let's put that aside for now. When you have wins, when you have momentum, your state of mind is elevated to a higher level. We're analogous - even the most successful has their...

    would forex expertise be considered a fastlane to wealth?

    EXECUTION 
    Sure - there are plenty of people selling forex guides, courses, seminars, etc. Find a need, like jon said. It's much easier to sell a product/service than "investing" in the market.

    Ad/Artwork design

    Photoshop CC is $10/mo. There's a learning curve, but the amount of tutorials online make up for it. GIMP is free. It's not really about outsourcing right away.... Question is: is there another task you could do, which will get you closer to your goal, faster?
