    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    The biggest challenge for me was finding a comfortable position. I had to change it every couple of minutes, ended up lying down. In terms of thoughts, I only found it hard not to follow them and start analysing and breaking them into pieces. I felt I'm drifting back into sleep close to the...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Count me in! I've been doing some meditation here and there. It helps but I lack consistency. I'd love to build a healthy morning routine, and meditation fits in perfectly. Agreed! Some days, when I feel my head is full of buzzing thoughts, I just sit down and brain-dump everything on paper...

    Self-Empathy vs Mental Toughness - Which One Do You Find More Useful?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    ^^^ this. It looked the same for me. Then once I let go of that pressure, let myself feel compassion for myself, accepted and believed in myself, my self-confidence skyrocketed. I have lots of internal motivation now, and only sometimes need some mental toughness to get me going. In...

    Self-Empathy vs Mental Toughness - Which One Do You Find More Useful?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Gary Vee is a great example of a manic-depressive personality type (and a "mental toughness" guy). What we see are his mania periods, when he hustles-hustles-hustles. What we don't get to see are his depressive episodes when he's not that motivated or tough. That's just human nature. Ignoring...

    How do I know whether it's time for a change of my perspective?

    MINDSET 
    There's a short book by Seth Godin called "The dip". It's about when to quit and when to stick (whether it be a business, a job, a hobby or whatever). The basic concept is to identify the curve of progress you're on. It's either: a) the dip: a raising curve that has a dip in the middle between...

    How to deal with the frustration of not moving forward?

    MINDSET RANT 
    It seems growing someone else's business makes you frustrated. Your compensation seems disappointing compared to the value you bring, which makes you feel bitter. There are commission-based sales jobs. You get paid a % of the profits you make for the company. But it seems this wouldn't work for...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    What I'd say to myself if I were starting out again - pt.1 - sales 1. There's plenty of clients around My task is to attract the good ones, not to try and sell to anyone that comes around. When I first started out, I was desperate to get clients. Inquiries seemed so scarce, I felt I need to go...

    How much do you pay per word when the writer does its own research?

    PEOPLE 
    There's a risk involved and someone has to take it. Usually, the one who takes more risk is rewarded with more money. Which means 1 in 4 does get meaningful traffic! Does spending $400 on 4 articles with 1 article ranking well sound as bad?

    I never knew it was THAT serious. I run campaigns loccaly in Poland and this happens occassionaly, <1% of the search terms. I just got my first client in the US, a real estate agent: People looking for "houses for sale" are the exact opposite of people wanting to list their house for sale...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    It's been a rough week: - I fired the hysterical client. He was disappointed but surprisingly respectful this time - the government issued strict regulations due to the pandemic - I took consistent daily action to get more sales, despite my anxiety Outreach and sales have always caused lots of...

    Be picky when choosing clients, even when you're starting out

    SIDE HUSTLE RANT 
    That's right! I've been there too recently, even though I'm not a particularly new business. A client got hysterical and started belittling me and other people who wanted to help him fix an issue. I've learned that clients who raise red flags from the very beginning hardly ever turn into dream...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    Fortunately, after 3 appeals and 2 weeks of waiting, the account got unsuspended. It was a nice surprise, as I expected it to stay suspended. The client didn't care to fill the appeal form properly (which I advised him to) and it got rejected at first, but it went through the next time. I'll...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    Liberating! It's been a while and a couple of clients churned: - one was getting no results but didn't care to tell me, then asked for a refund - one locked me out of the ads account and stole the landing page, then ghosted on me - one is too busy with her referral work to invest in ads now -...

    How to followup with leads?

    MARKETING 
    @Bekit nailed it. You left them confused about what to do next. In general, I don't usually follow up. I found out that people who drag their feet are not the best clients anyway. When I do follow up, it's short and direct about an objection. An objection I guess stops them. > Hey XXX, > >...
