I wanted to talk about myself and my journey to get here to type this out today, but to be honest me and my story so far doesn’t matter. What does matter is how I can change my destiny because I am in control now.

I found this forum a year ago and this is my first ever post. I’ll explain why another time maybe but it doesn’t matter.

So many things I could say about this forum but I’ll pick two words to encapsulate how I feel about this place.

Life changing.

MJ,Vigilante,eliquid,Andy black, lex and fox just to name a few and so many others have provided so much value that can change lives if you approach the information with the right mindset.

The hardest part was the mindset shift, the amount of pain, self reflection and uncomfortable truths I’ve had to face has made me reach a point where I need to take extreme accountability.

So I have, this thread will be a dairy of accountability and a place where hopefully ice cream can be shared.

I genuinely believe I have all the information I need to take this journey to the mountain peak but before I begin I’m putting together my tools to help me. I’ve got sales and I love a cold call, I’ve been moulded by rejection and it teaches you lessons acceptance doesn’t. But that isn’t enough to take me through this arduous painful journey. So I have decided to add two more skills to my toolkit, ppc and copy. The reason being is because I’ve found a gap in the market to potentially push a product. But before I even talk about this I need genuine advice.

I’m currently in a job I have motivation for, I’ve never had this issue. I’m currently trying to pivot into a junior ppc role and take a 60% pay cut to learn ropes.

The plan was to go learn skill-freelance-build product that people need and want. But the thing is I don’t know whether it’s a good idea to free lance and scale up to say 5k a month to free up my time to focus on bigger ideas? I have no intention to run a agency but being a freelancer allows me to be location independent and that’s something I’ve been yearning for due to living in the same street for 22 years.

I’ve sacrificed so much to save money ( I’m talking saving 100% of my paycheck for the past year and 75% 2 years before that) but my sacrifices came from a person who believed in scarcity rather than abundance.

I’ve written way too much so appreciate any help, if I get no responses it’s fine because so much value has already been provided. I welcome critics and anybody who wishes to challenge my thinking.

I will embrace the pain, rejection and self reflection I will face before I reach the peak. I stand on the shoulders of giants I’ve never met.
