Not a failure but an interesting near miss...

I was in this game several years ago and a handful of setbacks (all of my own making) set me on my a$$.

One of those setbacks was that the trainer from which I had gotten certain certificates the State deemed necessary had HIS license yanked in the middle of my process. So there I was with 9 out of 10 boxes checked off and no way to get that 10th box checked.

Fate intervened recently (within the last two years) and not only did this business become financially viable, but that class I...

My 28 year old cousin asked for a life decision

My cousin recently asked me for help. A life decision or what should I do question.

He is 28 years old. Lives with his parents still. He is in debt. Works part time for a big box retailer. He is massively obese. His expenses are $500 a month.

His boss gave him the opportunity to go full time. Right now he does side jobs. Mowing and pressure washing.

This is his debt:

1. $4,500 Credit Card
2. $2,250 Car Loan
3. $2,500 Dentist

By him going full time. He would be working a...

CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

I've been meaning to write this post for a long time. It's basically the story of how I started a digital marketing agency to be able to do cool stuff. And I would like to give you a nice little checklist that you could use as well if it interests you.

I started my business in 2010. Since then, I reduced my own work load to less than 10 hours a month, lived in Mexico for 4 1/2 years, traveled to 15 countries, and am prepping to head to Scotland for 6 months in Sept - all...

Friendly or Nosey or invasive neighbor?

A new neighbor moved in about 2 months ago. Last week on a Saturday afternoon as I was going out the neighbor was outside and says to me "You need to get up earlier than that if you want to go out for the day". I just smiled and went on my way. Then yesterday I went out to get a take out at a nearby restaurant, which I rarely do. I was out about 15 minutes. When I retuned the neighbor was outside and says "That was fast!" I said "Yea, I just wanted". The neighbor cut me off and then said...

Putting out Content daily - let's see what happens

So this is my first thread on this forum, but I guess it's a good way to monitor my progress as a freelancer and at the same time give you some insights on what's going on.

Okay, first things first...

In September 2018 I started on the side as a freelance copywriter. With all the tipps from this forum I setup an Upwork account and got my first client by sending him the article he was looking for, for free. He was impressed and gave my more work for the next two months. This was a content...

A sculptor's journey towards the Fastlane

Week 1: FOCUS

Hi everyone!
I'll be documenting my progress here. As you might know, I'm a 30-year-old sculptor from Barcelona.
I've been freelancing for five years, and although everything is going better each year, it is hardly enough to cover my minimal living expenses.

I've never done any marketing effort seriously. All the customers have been people that know me personally, or acquaintances of them.
On one hand that's good because that means my product is good enough, on the...

Moved to Scottsdale, Growing a Web Design Firm

Hey everyone,

It's been about one year since I joined the forum and thanks to the great advice of some members of the community, I've been able to completely change my life and move in a better direction.

To keep it simple, I was working at an investment bank in NYC and absolutely hated my life / how I was treated.

This week I just moved into my apartment in Scottsdale after making the cross country drive solo. A few months back I started my web design business with the help of Fox's...
