Hypnotising yourself to create the character and belief you want! (POWERFUL)

[Kak]

You think starting in the most saturated field known today is different than having a job? That’s what you’d call “entrepreneurship”?!

That’s cute.

This:

The funny thing is that here, again, is someone with zero interest in freelance copywriting, has said as much now. He also has some kind of e-commerce something going on… Yet people are suggesting copywriting again.

I could probably sign up for a second account here and list my experience in industrials, govtech, leadership and podcasting and ask what I should do and someone would tell me to be a copywriter.

It’s a cult.

Working as a freelancer on Upwork, you can make $10K+/mo and take a week off too. Tell me which job can help you do that? That's right - none. Unless you're some investment banker and some boss is breaking your back day after day and you have to fly all across the world, and be continuously sleep-deprived.

Last year (or maybe it was 2 years ago), I had a dare with a buddy of mine. He said that even with my experience if I go back to Upwork, I'll struggle to make bank while running my business. Suffice to say in 4 months I made around $20K while also working on my business and spending no more than probably 2 hours per day on Upwork.

It's the easiest way to make money ever. Once you master Upwork, you'll never get another job, I can promise you that.

Need? See entry.

So businesses don't need sales?

Oh, I don’t know, something that doesn’t violate every single one of the CENTS commandments and has some originality might be a start.

Yes, like a job right?

“Hey latest victim, be a copywriter like me!” Stop. Just stop. It’s settling. It’s a total cop out. I can’t stand the idea of someone signing up for an entrepreneur forum and then the copywriting brigade wins him over to be a freelance loser with them.

The total cop out is getting a job. That's the farthest thing from entrepreneurship.

Sure copywriting (or some other freelance skill) doesn't meet CENTS for the most part. No control, no scale and no time. It's not a fastlane business. Of course.

BUT... all freelance skills meet NEED and ENTRY. They help people solve problems, and they take skill to do well. Not any retard can get started as a copywriter on Upwork and make $10K/mo.

And they are great places to get started for entrepreneurs.

So stop moving the goal posts. The comparison here isn't between fastlane business and freelancing. It's between freelancing and getting a job so that you can have a foundation to launch a fastlane business from. Most jobs don't even meet NEED, much less ENTRY lol...

By the way, has anyone noticed the tags? I wonder who did that...

I reject the idea that someone could have enough skills to succeed as a freelancer and be completely incapable of starting a real business. I don’t subscribe to this existence of an entrepreneurial purgatory where someone needs to freelance and keyboard ninja until something good happens. That’s my problem.

Either you have enough skills or you don’t and should be engaged in acquiring them.

Of course someone who has very valuable skills to market can make money that sounds good to someone with no skills by freelancing them. I’m just not convinced that person is engaged in the best use of those skills. And I have never been close to being convinced of this.

Lol, ok. Sounds like you already made up your mind.

Sure. There are NO OTHER OPTIONS!

It’s this kind of limited thinking that drives me nuts man. Seriously. It’s like driving with a blindfold.

It’s not about $10k / mo.

To me, it’s about seeing your future and making the most out of it.

F*ck your $10k!

I ask you, how do you make $10mm? How do you up the odds of making $100mm “F*ck you money”?!

Think bigger.

Sure, this is a much more sensible post and there’s nothing here for me to disagree with you. I’d never go back to freelancing, except if my business went bankrupt and I’d need to make some money while building another business.

Own a company that solves a problem in a scalable way, ideally relying on some form of recurring revenue.

Be in a business that involves large deals and you can get a cut - think real estate, oil rigs, planes etc.

And the easiest way - government contracts

Bernard Arnault, richest man on the planet, his father had a “construction company”, but if you read the original french media you’ll find out it was a “travaux publics” company — meaning a company that does public construction work for the government.

Trump’s father made most of his money from the government.

Dan Pena started with the government doing oil deals.

And the list can go on. The easiest way to make billions is by working with the government.

So in a lot of ways we agree. It’s not a business. There are better uses of the skills. So it’s not a long term answer to the entrepreneurial question.

Again, it’s just survival masquerading as entrepreneurship.

I’m not going to agree that government is the easiest way to make billions, but it is certainly a good way.

I tried to make a deal with that devil actually. It was one of my biggest failures, it burned me up pretty bad, but as time marches on, it’s becoming easier and easier to be glad it didn’t go my way.

Hey man, I've thought about it. I can't say I would be happy about it, but I'd take the money. Thing is, they are going to waste it no matter what, and there's not a damn thing I can really do about it. So I'll take the contract and consider it repayment of a tiny fraction of the money they stole from me at gunpoint and spent on foreign wars that don't affect me, or "fact-finding missions" to a senator's bank account in the Caymans.

No question.

I believe I’m a more polished, versatile, and better balanced business person today because I didn’t make that happen.

It’s easy to get a big head and start to think you’re a genius when you hit that home run without seeing how hard things can actually be. I’m glad I have a taste of that struggle mixed with some good doubles and triples. I feel better positioned for a private sector home run these days.

I recently felt kind of convicted that I buy guns from companies that fill government contracts. I’m probably not going to do that anymore. That’s full circle. I was selling tech tools for the enforcement of a stupid tyrannical law 10 years ago.

Do what works for you...

Meditation, hypnosis, cold ice baths, celery juice, praying to Buddha, drinking urine while hanging upside down on a trapeze -- don't let anyone dissuade you from taking whatever actions that work for you.

Standing in front of the mirror, repeating affirmations, in my opinion won't do anything.
BUT - If you're ready to change, open to change, and you start changing your inner dialogue and image of who you think you are, you can definitely create a "new"/"more expanded" version of yourself.
I did this myself, and yes affirmations was also a part of that.
But most of all it's about the real desire to actually develop.

Instead of procrastinating on exercising, eating healthy etc.
Where before I would come up with excuses etc.
I now just say, I am the kind of person, that gets out and does it, immediately.
I am the guy who "eats the frog" every morning.
I am the one who shows up.
I am super F*cking disciplined.
I am consistent.

And I swear to god, my mindset is so much different, after I started doing this.
And yes of course, makes very good sense that this works?

Our thoughts is what determines our experience of ourselves and the world in general.
So once that changes, our attitude changes, our emotions change and our behavior changes.

If you keep talking shit to yourself = You get shit.
If you keep talking uplifting and motivating to yourself = You get uplifted and motivated.

Imagine you're failing BIG in something.
You can choose to get completely defeated by that failure by saying "oh I am SUCH a failure, I will never amount to anything I am so stupid"
OR
You can choose to see that failure as a necessary event that had to happen, for you to know where not to go, be grateful for that failure and see it as a stepping stone to success. Because now you're further ahead.

So of course self-talk and affirmations to some degree, works brilliant!

Do you think a millionaire or a billionaire is talking himself down and being extremely negative about his business, himself and his actions?

 

[Roli]

I've read a lot of the replies in this thread and I can't work out why the OP is being attacked so much. What's wrong with self hypnosis?

Literally all they said was, try self hypnosis, do some self affirmations and get out there and kick a$$. What's wrong with that?

MJ talks about gratitude and religion in his book, I'm not religious but don't feel to make fun of him for it.

I think we've been a bit harsh on the OP, let's just chill out a bit man.

 

[Bluechip]

Very good, but I understand that statements should never be in the past tense. They must always be said in the present.

Exactly,
I Never said it is a the only thing the matters, I wrote in the end that action is what matters.
Im not rich by any means, but I make a good living for a 23 year old, I make 11k a month with my e commerce business, and I am obviously working on improving it.

You can Apply this to other areas in life, like dating.
Approaching girla wont get you nowhere if you are insecure af.
Hey but F*ck it Arguing on the Internet is a waste of time.
If it helps someone good if not who cares
You can't change people minds anyway, becouse everyone believes what they want to believe.
Thanks For the advice!

Thank you for your post.

Sometimes there is nonsense on this forum. But mostly there is sense. You can't blanket this forum and its discussions as a waste of time, otherwise this thread would be taken down.

Some guys here attack a post with great force whenever the post has the risk of misleading. And your post handles topics that are potentially misleading. Any novice or naive user of the forum is bound to mislead by it, especially teens and other younger youths. They've got to see the other side of the coin.

@Lex DeVille did well to bring the other side. From some of his posts, he doesn't like nonsense.

I read a post contravening mine many times over and process and reply with more calm. Otherwise things flare up and the point is missed.

 

[Isaac Odongo]

I really like this trick I’ve been struggling with my mindset myself sometimes. When you hypnotize yourself, what do you tell yourself ? Do you say the things in your head ?

Read @Jay2x and pay attention to what you read. Action, friends action. Smarter, longer, harder. Until echo. Affirm if you want. I don't think it is a sin and I don't do it. I am not a Millionaire and I regret not having embarked on this road trip earlier than mid last year.
