First they laugh at you.

Then they look at you with some sort of envy.

Then they beg for your help.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

Sitting there picturing what you have to do, wishing you had done it, is what causes so much anxiety that it's almost scary.

@maverickecom I'd like to get the workflow

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

Stop trading your time for money.

As simple and cliché as it seems, this statement hits hard like a rock.

I switched to freelancing one year ago.

I thought it was gonna be great.

Don't get me wrong, it is.

But it isn't.

It's like living like an employee, with one difference.

You are much more stressed, much more tired, with much more burn-out sytmptoms, compared to when you were an emplyee.

Why?

Beacause you just swithched boss.

Now it's your clients.

Some of them are great, some of them are not. Fact is, they are there to ask for changes, running against your time.
Just like your boss.

You have one solution. At hand.

Leverage the internet.

That's exactly what will happen next.

I wil start leveranging the internet. I aim at 1,000,000 in the next 12 months. All by myself, and AI agents.

That's the only way out I see in the foreseeable future.

Nothing more, nothing less.

See you here.

I will document this journey, hoping to inspire others.

Thank you for reading.

Your brain wants to, but for some reason you don't take action.

Ever felt that?

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

The biggest problem of them all is that people don't try.

Because they are scared.

Not scared of judgement, or scared of failing.

People are scared of succeeding.

Self-sabotaging makes you hate yourself, and it keeps you away from succeeding.

Let that sink.

There is a moment when you need to understand the following.

This is not some random playing with a platform.
This is not a waste of time.
This is not a game.

This is an actual job, and anactual business.

Which means, you have to learn it.

@IAmAaronWill Makes complete sense. This goes in the exact direction of building a personal brand that is, guess what? Personal.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

@pepsi Pepsi Twist + pizza = heaven.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

@IAmAaronWill Agree 100%. Every action determines a reaction. Too much bullshit. I have a rule: I dont go to war unless I feel I want to fight the battle. More often than not, the answer is "No, I don't wanna fight that battle", because the winnings are less tha zero.

@HanselNotions @IAmPascio I have started using it lightly. I have to say I enjoy it so far.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

@IAmPascio Pascio, long time no see!
I was wondering...yout thoughts about Obsidian?

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

What do you think of this?

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

@stijnnoorman Amazing and inspiring. That's amazing how much one can make by staying consistent.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

AI can spit out your content in seconds.

How about you start talking about real things, such as your personality, your experience, your shit?

That's where you win.

[Skyblixt @skyblixt]

I feel the same sometimes. It all goes down to the price we pay as freelancers/solopreneurs. As much as I love being alone, I incredibly miss the chats with a colleague at the coffee machine. Being alone is part of what we chose to be. Si necesitas ayuda con design, video/fotos, aqui estoy. Have a nice one.

I recently turned down a client after sending them an estimate:

• Website -> 5500€
• Social Media MRR (2500€/month)
• Video / photo: 5500€ (one shot)

I started seeing red flags everywhere

You wanna know more?

Stay tuned and I'll get into details.

What would you have done?
