Changing Careers Oil & Gas to Dating Coach (Need Advice)
I have a question for you: What's making you different from the thousands of dating coaches out there using the same worn-out promises everyone's heard before?

Tips on getting serious clients as a Freelancer
MARKETINGThe standard freelancing advice is to niche down. People will pay more for a specialist than for a generalist.

Should I Get A Job Or Freelance?
SIDE HUSTLETo preface this, I personally have never held a real, proper job in my life and I exclusively freelance for a living.

Alcoholic housmate needs to go
PEOPLE+1 for everything said here. I'd say go about this as if you were about to break up with a psychotic girlfriend. Take him out to a public place and give him the 'it's not you, it's me' treatment. Be understanding and consider his perspective when presenting your decision. Most importantly...- John D.

You copywriters are being replaced by AI..
HOT! MARKETINGAI will never learn human empathy -- which is at the core of great copywriting. Sure, it may reach some superficial levels and slap up a bunch of 'power words' to form some basic selling points, but it will never probe into the deeper underlying reasons of why people buy. And hence my...- John D.

You don't need a website, you need sales
HOT! MARKETINGGreat argument. Some people get hung up on the bells and whistles and don't start until they have the perfect website. I'm doing freelance copywriting and I only have a rudimentary Google Doc to show to prospective clients. It looks like something a 9-year-old could've come up with in half an...- John D.

Positive affirmation RAHRAH
MINDSETI believe affirmations only work if you support them with action. If you stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself that you're a productive, 24/7 hustle-till-I-die type of guy, and then go on and lay on the couch all day... your unconsciousness will reject every statement you say to...- John D.

Leaving behind friends and loved ones
PEOPLE'Friends' are dispensable and quality friends are rare. That's what I think.
