There are moments when we take a breath, we look at our lives and wonder where time has gone. I’m 28 and it feels like just yesterday I was in high school trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life. Day in and day out, teacher, parents and counselors would give me…

Good piece, Zat, and good advice. Please note that “In Our Time,” Hemingway’s collection of short stories, mostly about war, really started people noticing his work.

I feel like, Ben’s analogy is more of a tool for the adult habit of hesitation to try something new because of lack of passion, fear of failure etc.

Yes, of course I get a cut of the profits. The way I do it, the client pays me first and then I pay the writer a previously-agreed upon price for their work, which is less than what I charged the client.
That is the only way it would make sense for ME to outsource the work instead of just introducing the writer to the client…

I read a lot of books each year. My max is around 150 that I read a few years back. I scaled it back though, because I found that I couldn’t remember as much from the books. Just too much information and not enough time to process and work on it.

Mind over matter is a real thing! Sometimes you have to will yourself into putting one foot in front of the other.

Josue Arteaga This was a very motivating article to read. By focusing on what you need to do you can accomplish anything. You have to do what is most important in order to move your business forward. It’s a long and hard journey to become successful and you must work hard in order to achieve your dreams.
I’m not that surprised to be honest, I see that in the people around me, even in my parents. The truth is, most people view what they do for a living as a responsibility or requirement, not something that they enjoy.
