    MINDSET 
    Inspired by a recent series of posts (as well as recent personal experience). The market has spoken. They don’t want what you have to offer. You’ve tried something and you’ve failed. It hurts. I get it. You’re out some money, time, and you’ve embarrassed yourself in front of friends and...

    You're Not Afraid Of Failure... This Is What You're Really Afraid Of!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    What I’m afraid of isn’t failure. I don’t fear failure. I’ve failed lots, ever since I was a baby. The failure itself is almost never fatal, and if it were, you wouldn't know it anyway.

    $100 a day or $10k/Month: Why You'll Never Meet Your Goals, And What To Do About It

    I’ve been thinking about goal setting. Most people don’t set goals, and the people who do sometimes don’t achieve them. I can easily say “I wanna make $10,000 this month” and not do anything different. Will I make $10,000? Of course not. I didn’t do anything different! The only way I started...
