SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION#17: first recurring payment link sent Finally, I have a real payment agreement with one customer. It was weird as he did not answer my message on switching from trial to paid. I assumed that he was not going to pay (although he was using it). So I sent a message saying that I’ll stop the...- rfz

SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION#16: 2 hour onboarding done with a warm lead This was done with the shop owner who did not have time to send me her price list.

The #1 Threat to Your Success is Internal...

A bit skeptical but liking the book
INTROYou can read the other books too (Great rat race escape and unscripted) BUT there’s a huge gap between being motivated upon reading them and actually doing something about it. Have you had your FTE yet (if you’ve reached that part of the book)?- rfz

Hey, my name is Dejan, and I've been stuck for 8 years now...
INTROSo far so good. Even if it's far from being a fastlane business, it gives me the confidence that I can sell + build in a matter of days/weeks. I learned that while it's obviously a time investment on your side, people seem to like it when you don't sell your thing outright, and have a...- rfz
