    Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I follow a 30 day exercise program which is easy to wake up and jump right on in. After 15 days I am feeling great. Only downside is I work weekends once a month, usually 12 hour days plus travel. I try and replace the exercise with a quick stretch. It also helped getting the motivation after...

    That's solid form your have going @458. I think diet is the hardest part to get right. Ive been waking up at 430am every morning, starting with a workout but my diet has been average to say the least. I easily cave into temptation and it's something I need to work on. Now that I've been...

    The US Needs More Tradespeople

    HOT! 
    I did plumbing as a trade but wished I did electrical. I am now in Oil & Gas and a mate works offshore as a E&I Tech, 'Norwegian Foster's (3on /3off /3on /6off) and over 200k a year. Yes, still scripted but that's good money!

    The US Needs More Tradespeople

    HOT! 
    There is the same sentiment towards trades here in Australia. I spent my high school days at a private school that charged a hefty fee, they were completely focused on getting the most amount of kids into university as they could - nothing else. No mentoring about future in trades after school...

    I Wrote an E-book That’s Now Paying My Car Payments

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Great work. It's funny, I've been having a look at cars recently to replace the wife's car in 2-3 years. We have put in place saving measures so we can have majority cash payment when the time comes...but everyone I talk to says 'why wait!? Interest rates on car loans are only 6-7%?' I've told...

    Think I've hit the slow lane!

    INTRO 
    Almost a month has passed again. Quick update to keep myself honest. I have adjusted my morning routine but it now entails a workout through Millionaire Hoy for 30 minutes. Afternoons are now a 30 minute yoga stretch also through Millionaire Hoy, then 1.5 hours of "learning". At the moment...

    INTRO 
    I need help with a lot of things! I definitely wouldn't knock back an offer for help. I have engaged a developer who is in the processing of quoting the system. On top of this, I have looked at getting the website completed through Upwork also - gauging interest to see what sort of price...

    2 Months on. Wow. Time has flown. Ok, so a lot has been happening. I have been trying to help the partner build her business more, unfortunately she has aggravated a pre-existing shoulder injury. It has meant that there has been more down time than days filled with clients. At the end of the...

    Reading Cashvertising by Drew Eric Whitman. Finding this extremely informative and I am only 20% into the book. It's definitely changing my thought process on marketing to target markets. Listening to Platform Revolution. So far so good. Only an half hour into the book but it seems like...

    Is PPC a must?

    MARKETING 
    Didn't even think of that. Will start a new account based on the targeted customer and try that. I have considered joining up to one of these PPC analysis companies just for a 2-3 month stint to get the initial information I need out of it.

    Is PPC a must?

    MARKETING 
    I believe 2/3 could be appropriate to the business. It is the transport industry. I have finally had the time to do some more in depth research and as @GoodluckChuck has said, the PPC analysis service I used wasn't very accurate. Probably holding back information because it was a free service...

    Is PPC a must?

    MARKETING 
    Ok, this makes sense. Can you elaborate on what you would call low cost methods? Since the business is based around connecting customers with service providers, the acquisition is almost two fold for what I need to achieve. For service providers, I think cold calling, emailing, trade shows and...

    Can't believe it's been a whole month already. Time Flies. Brief overview of what has happened in the last month. Got the partners cleaning business up and running. I have developed a few home made excel spreadsheets to keep track of everything and keep costs lows at the moment. I have...
