Should you be cautious?


Howdy Reader!

Maybe you've read advice about limiting beliefs.

Like this quote attributed to Henry Ford:

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."

It's good to test boundaries, to stretch.

But it's also good to know where you are, and what you know.

I've made the mistake too many times of buying in more than I should have.

Buying courses that I wasn't ready for.

Buying business packages without really knowing what was involved.

After having done these things, I am naturally more cautious.

I test things before going bigger.

Or at least, I only buy in with an amount of money I can afford to lose.

That's not cowering to limiting beliefs.

That's wisdom.

But after he did that, all sorts of connections and possibilities showed up. So I recorded the video right then, and I was still hyped up about it. If...

Howdy Reader! I have a like-minded side hustler I chat with fairly regularly. Not unlike myself, he has a lot of things he wants to do. One of these things is dropshipping, a form of retail arbitrage. Lots of people do this, and there is lots of material, free and paid, on how to do it. If I were to take it on, I'd likely start it myself and do all the things. I'd buy a course, learn it, and do it. Not my friend. He handed the course to a VA and instructed her to implement it. Even made a few...

Howdy Reader! Whatever your creative journey entails ... ... there's going to be fun stuff ... ... and there's going to be some boring stuff. Take eBay reselling, for example. I've heard this many times in my online travels. Sourcing product is fun. Putting listings up is boring. (And I can agree!) Here's the thing about listings, though. The listings sell your product. No listings, no sales. The boring stuff tends to be where the value lies. Let's grow togoether! ~ John Note: Some links in...
