Start with what you can bring. Start with what YOU can offer others first.

Reciprocity. It's the first principle of persuasion.

You want others to work with you? Show them what you can do FOR them first.

Hey, you guys! 

Guys!

GUYYYYS!!

Lookee here!

This is an EPIC Copywriting formula piece I found.

For reals yo.

It is a TREASURE TROVE of information.

I can’t believe I found it tbh, Happy Day!

There’s SO MUCH stuff in here, I can’t wait to get stuck in and trying out the different blueprints!

There are patterns in here that you can start with a positive, or a negative, and then build your copy around.

I’m so excited I found this.

You’re Welcome.

Freelance Arc is now on Twitter!

Give it a follow for micro snaps of the day to day entrepreneurial journey!

Here’s a cool blog I discovered on my usual Sunday morning scroll fest.

I particularly like the first two posts.

How to advertise your small local business in 2020.

It’s got some great tips on how to spread the word without getting involved in costly ad campaigns. Very useful.

Starting Your Own Business - The Doorstep Mile.

Well, aren’t we ALL in this situation right now?!

Focused on a book; The Doorstep Mile. This one’s about overcoming obstacles to live more adventurously (in this case adventurously = BETTER).

Of course I’m down for that!

Follow them on social media for the chance to win a copy.

Even if you don’t win, you’ll be ahead of the curve later on when you’re scaling your business. You may well need a VA at that time.

Positivity

Yup.

Positiveness. Keeping ones chin up. Gritting your teeth and getting on with it even when everyone and everything around you is being an utter BASTARD.

DO NOT think murderous thoughts...  Water off a duck’s back, develop a thick skin, man up son it's only banter...

Positivity. 

POSITIVITY.

Positivityyy... Ahhhh....

Calm.

The work wasn't going right. I didn't feel well, had a bad nights sleep. And to top it off, those two were on their shit, AGAIN.

Eeeesh. Why fucking bother, huh?

"Getting upset won't get you what you want, and it will very often get you what you DON'T want" -Marshall Sylver.

 My Brainbox: "You attract the things you think about. If you think bad things, that's what you attract"

Me: "But, how can I be sweetness and light, when EVERYTHING is pissing me off?!"

Brainbox: "It's your mind sunshine, YOU control your state. If something annoys you that's because you LET it."

Me: "But...!"

Brainbox: *Eyebrows* "Two words amigo; Jordan Belfort. That state control thing he does, why'd you think that is?"

Me: "Fine. Point made....Humph"

These are the kind of internal conversations I have with myself.

Insightful, huh? 

So I decided that from right there, I was gonna be in a beautiful state, to think and attract all the good things.

Thing is,

It works.

When you're upset or angry, you lose about 30% of your mental ability (Tony Robbins). Things go from bad to worse because you can't think clearly and you just spiral out of control. You know, little mistakes add up, you get annoyed, you can’t focus and it gets worse...

By lifting your mood, you regain that percentage. Like Indiana Jones in a lost mine, opening a creaky chest of glowing golden brainpower. Cool.

You think more clearly, and things start to go right again. 

Use this bad-ass witchery to your advantage. Always.

But how do I improve my mood?

Weeeeell, different strokes for different folks, y'know.

For me, I tell myself that "I'm sick of this shit. I'm in control. I WILL NOT lose out anymore because I already lost out."

Honestly, that does if for me.

Wave a wand, click your fingers. *Done*

Let me know what works for you too!

Follow Freelance Arc for more updates on this entrepreneurial journey.

I just saw this on Insta, and it really resonated with me, y’all gotta see it.

Garyvee is SPOT ON here.

So many people spouting negativity as reality…

“It’ll never happen” “You’re deluded” “YOU’RE gonna be successful? Yeah right!”

Just because those thoughts are real for THEM, don’t let them affect your efforts and dreams.

Focused work towards a defined goal creates results.

This here. This video from Inc. featuring Tony Robbins is an important one to watch. 

The World Is Changing. Take Control.

In this video Tony talks about leaders, but as freelancers and entrepreneurs, leaders and builders, this all applies to us as well. RIght now.

Tony touches on some good and important points. The world of work is changing, and robots are taking a lot of jobs. You don’t wanna get caught out on the wrong side of this...

Upskilling and retraining is the answer, but you’re gonna have to seek it out and do it YOURSELF. Employers and the government won’t provide it, so it’s up to YOU to find your high-income skill and use it. You gotta future proof yourself and your career. We all get paid what we’re worth in the marketplace, so the more you’re worth, the more you get paid. 

“You don’t have a money problem, you have a skill problem” - Dan Lok

You need high-income skills to be worth a lot in the marketplace.

Online training providers like Udemy (where I have purchased virtually all of my sales and marketing training), EDx and Khan Academy, host a wealth of different training opportunities. 

There are courses in coaching, gym instruction, coding, sales, digital marketing, accounting, yoga instruction... The choice is endless. Pick something that looks good to you, and go for it!

Be A Copy Cat.

Mimic somebody. Find someone successful who you wanna be like, and copy them. Copy the hell out of them!

Copying someone like this can save you years of trial and error, and the pain that goes with it. 

Find your icon. 

Read what they read. 

Go where they went. 

Train how they trained. 

Do what they did

I’ve listened to this, over and over now, it’s just so good and informative. Tony Robbins is such a great speaker. There really are a wealth of points and information covered here.

It’s well worth your time.

He IS the ******* Bentley

A magnificent example to follow and learn from for anyone needing to upskill and grab a hold of life!
