    Does money actually buy happiness? (Finding the real answer)

    CHAT 
    Personal story: I have lost my very best friend because I was stupid and I am very sad because of it. NO MONEY in this world will bring our friendship back. But, If I have money I could fly to the city and stay in hotel for a week, try to at least fix it somehow. I don't believe money can buy...

    It won't Work... But Try it ANYWAYS.

    MINDSET 
    If you are old enough you know people are making general statements based on their opinion and limited experience like they hold the knowledge of eternity. People saying D2D don't work. Cold calls don't work. Nobody reads ads etc. Ask them loudly and clearly: How do you know? Did you try it...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Ok, I noticed first issue: you shared your email, but didn't mention SUBJECT. SUBJECT is the first thing people notice in inbox. You should first focus on nailing down the subject line. You need to be aware that you are now marketer and seller starting your own business, not just IT guy...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    MINDSET CHAT FEEDBACK
