    Meditation hasn't worked for me so far.

    MINDSET 
    For me I always expected some amazing thing as well but it really never worked that way. What meditation does for me in the morning is it puts my day mentally in my mind after clearing it. This helps tremendously with things like cravings, or forgetting things like appointments or what I'm...

    MARKETING 
    Quick update: One of the clients we brought on ended up being what seems like a scam. He was outsourcing his bad work to us. He had doused this guy for over $2k and delivered very sub par work. Anyway that's a long story. We may end up working with the actual client later once he disputes or...

    Quick update - 1st TWO CLIENTS!! Grabbed a client through upwork at $40/hr (in your face the guys who say upwork is for cheapo's only.) In their defense, I have a pretty great profile, with references, portfolio examples, top 30% tests and a small amount of positive feedback. The second...

    That's brilliant. Today is a new day. I plan on putting together a bit of a better action plan. Getting my 1st client this week. I like this idea for sure.

    Update for today. I painstakingly sent 40 emails to different agencies today. (I haven't tried to send direct to businesses yet.) They were simple, short, and each contained a custom first sentence about the person I was talking too. (No spam) as well as a Custom P.S. these were things like...

    Hey no problem, so the companies I started are as follows. -T-shirt Company - Had no Idea what I was doing, sold about $5000 in T-shirts and ran for about 9 months then rent kicked in and I had to get a real job. (I was in college.) This was before facebooks ad platform even came out. -...

    Man I appreciate all of you guys insights. Going to post an update today. @Lord Business When going to cold traffic, via facebook in particular. here is what we like to see, specifically for viewing a strategy call. Also, newsletters are a waste of time IMO. But I'm not one to completely shut...

    Yea definitely, you face a conundrum a ton of marketers try to avoid. (or if they don't they have a hard time with it.) It is always easier and less expensive to market a product people understand and feel they need than to educate the market on the need and then sell it. Especially if you...

    I've looked up how to do cold email well and always thought that it didn't work. That could actually be an awesome way to go. In fact, I'm on it.

    MARKETING 
    Well that's what I've done for others, I've helped people become personal brands, nobody extremely major, but major enough that they certainly aren't doing cold outreach anymore. Through facebook lives, group building, youtube and of course, facebook ads. That's my forte. The reason I do not do...

    Ha of course, There are actually tons of agencies like that out there. Now that you mention it. I've been sitting in groups full of facebook ad agencies giving value and thinking I'd get some of their outsource work. While I've gotten some work that way, I'd probably get a ton more giving value...

    I can do all of these things. Never been afraid of public speaking. Thats brilliant. Im sure I could put together a small marketing event and help teach but grab clients that way. Never thought of doing it for that price, but I suppose to start its worth it. I've ran ads for plenty of local...

    So I know in order to do this I need to set my goal. 1st goal: By April 12th I want to be able to replace my old income. $2500 a month. That's it. In some cases that will be just one client, but I plan to charge $1000 a month to start, so I'll need 3 clients. This seems completely doable to...

    I definitely could. Originally went to school for web programming, It's definietly something I've thought about. The reason I do not simply start with paid traffic, which I know so well, is that (and this could be a mindset thing.) I feel like everyone and their mom is pitching facebook ads on...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    I worked for a guru. Lets just say he was a lot like Russ. Teaching the exact same stuff. He actually paid for me to go through Russ's course. I can tell you without a doubt because I was behind the scenes that his stuff created 100+ millionaires in the last year. If that is not value, I do not...
