Leaving the comfortable slow lane!

Hi everyone,

My name's Pete and I'm a 25 year old guy from Ireland. I've read both of MJ's books, which led me to this forum. To the outside observer I'm doing well. I'm earning 60k a year in a secure government job and I've never really wanted for anything. I own a nice car, I take holidays where I want and if I want something material (generally) I can afford to get it. I have no children, I'm single and I have a healthy amount in savings. I'm in a very fortunate position compared to...

I Love My Work

“I love my work” is probably not a common line that most people use in their introductions on this forum. It’s true though – let me explain.

I’ve always been a passionately multi-disciplined person. When I was a child, I dreamed of building a robot. In pursuit of that dream, I dabbled in hobbies and chose an academic path that would teach me (among many things) about electronics, mechanical design, software and firmware development. I realized along the line however that my goal changed – I...

Licensing idea?

Hello everyone,

this is my first post (to be honest isn’t first post ever in a forum).

I came from Sicily (Italy) and I red the two books of Mj. I’m trying to find my path but at the moment I am in the deepest ocean.

I’ve been very interested when Mj wrote this simple phrase: touch millions of people to make billions of dollars.( i m not sure about the translation).

CHINA PLUS ONE STRATEGY

I am in the process of writing a 2021 revision of my sourcing and importing book, but I thought I should post this extract now because it is so important.

With the onset of what became known as the Trade War between China and the USA, followed by the pandemic there has been a growing interest in sourcing from countries other than China. Many view it as essential in order to minimize their risks if their chosen products join the list of those on which much higher tariffs are imposed. Others...

I just finished my first digital product for Clickbank, and could use some advice on a couple things.

I finally finished my digital product that I plan to release on Clickbank and put up on my blog, but I have a couple of questions.

1. First off, it's a 12-week program. Meaning, ideally, the customer would get one video a week automatically sent to them. Is this possible to do with Clickbank/WordPress, or would they basically end up getting all the videos at once? I assume it's possible, as I have bought digital products like this before and had them sent incrementally. One I believe...

My main issue is being trapped in a sort of depression-dopamine cycle I can't get out of.

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

It seems to me there are two main schools of self-development.

One is closely aligned with spirituality, self-empathy, self-understanding, kindness, etc. If, for example, you're struggling to lose weight, you seek internal psychological reasons why. You try to understand yourself without making yourself feel bad as self-kindness is a big aspect of this school of thought.

Before I left for vacation in Florida I didn't hit the goals of prospecting / building out sites that I wanted to hit so I am going hard at it today.

That being said while I was on vacation, I had two people reach out to me out of the blue that I sent videos to previously with interest in what I can do for them.

Question about TMF

@MJ DeMarco

I just finished TMF (2nd time). My favorite book by far. I always recommend it to people.

I've been thinking about the part where your buddy says, "dude, find a way to turn those emails into money somehow!"

Your web service was already launched and providing value to people. Were limo companies paying you for ad space at this stage? If so, how did you price your service?

Selling online courses

Hello

I've recently set up a website where I post weekly articles on personal development, and I've created a few paid courses for £9. They are text courses where I include about 10 articles and 10 exercises on topics like improving nutrition, not caring what people think, becoming a positive thinker.

I haven't got any sales yet but that's to be expected given that the website has only been running for six weeks
