    My body reacts negatively to success and I need your help

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    The foundational layer of truth: I am an only child and I have the full responsibility - however I feel that now is the time to focus on myself and goals (ultimately in the long run me being financially more stable also serves the care for my parents). That's why I also mentioned my body - the...

    Negotiating Royalties: Looking for advice.

    QUESTION
