    I can't say I disagree. I have noticed this too.

    My challenge with books

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    I think that's a great problem to have. Most people read an entire book and do nothing with what they learned. Have you ever finished a book to see whether you will pick up more useful information along the way?

    So You’re an Elite Performer? Maybe, And Maybe Not.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I didn't want to sound pessimistic. :) I was talking more about big business opportunities (hundreds of millions or billions) just as MTF was talking about the best of the best in a particular sport. I was not talking about whether one can make a million with new traffic sources or a little...

    Great point. If you are early in a new market than being an elite performer isn't that important. "A rising tide lifts all boats" However, how can you plan for that? Often this comes down to Lück and risk. And once it's clear that the new market IS very lukrative the competiton will increase...

    IDEA 
    3 months of D2D sales & 3 months of B2B Telesales is probably a great way to learn sales while making money along the way.

    However, there are also Elite Performers in terms of getting the job done. Some people have the genes to only need 4 hours of sleep to feel fully rested. Some people are willing to sacrifice their health, family, relationships, and leisure time to achieve goal X. These people might have started...

    I agree with the topic of the thread. You have to make Sure you compete in an area where you have an edge. That might mean picking a niche that is smaller than your ambition. I like the concept of combining expertise in more than one area to become hard to compete with. If you are a top 10%...

    I'm going to wash windows for money tomorrow for the first time in my life. Any tips?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You are crushing it @piano ! I would ask them for their number instead of giving them your number. Then follow up a couple of days later. If they are not interested ask them if you can follow up 3-6 months later. If they don't want to give you their number then give them your number. EDIT: In...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    EXECUTION 
    1. Just make sure the people really deliver the flyers... 2. If you can do it this would be great! Also, increase the amount of referrals you get by actively asking for them. 3. Well I think improving your ads, conversion rates & ltv would have more upside potential in the mid-term however if...

    I'm going to wash windows for money tomorrow for the first time in my life. Any tips?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Way to go! Now imagine if you would knock on doors for 8 hours 5 days a week and hire someone to do all the window cleaning for you! You got 192€ in 2 hours so 8 hours would be almost 800€ times 5 = 4000€ per week or over 16000€ per month and almost 200000€ per year (+ repeat customers). Now...

    Leaning into rejection: Asking for free coffee.

    @Subsonic How long did it take you to get "rejection proof" in d2d? I am thinking about getting into d2d for a couple of months to become more immune to rejection while increasing my sales skills and earning money along the way.

    What exactly is the problem? Does it not work for you or is it about disliking the rejection you get?

    MTF needs a slumpbuster: Too many swings, no hits.

    Amen! Winning doesn't build character. If you keep winning you have no resistance that will make you grow stronger. And you need to get better all the time to compete successfully in the marketplace. Weightlifting Example: Person A: tries to bech press 80kg the first time in the gym and...

    Most audiences today aren't built organically anyways. If you are lucky to be an early adopter of a new social network, then maybe, but otherwise, audiences are built via joint ventures, etc., for the most part, and I view this as a form of paid traffic. I am pretty sure that you can buy access...

    Is anyone aware of an agency or service that uses AI to translate books into other languages and checks the content to ensure there are no translation errors?

    Intro from Poland: Recovering addict to Money Chasing, FOMO & Paralysis by Analysis

    INTRO 
    What do you mean by "spread to thin"? Did you charge too little money? If you charge a decent amount of money that should filter out a lot of the crappy clients. Maybe this would make the contact with clients a more positive experience.
