Thank you for the wise words, hope to be where you are one day!
 
Congrats Thomas on this great post and adding another milestone to your business dreams. I like the bit where you talk about focus. Focus seems to be my downfall!

I have met in you in person and was great fun. I like the fact that you are very thoughtful of others and always willing to help.

I wish you all the best as you get into seven figures and waiting for the day I will see you on Bloomberg and CNBC TV. :cool:
 
Cutting back on the booze, and getting back in the gym :) I think quite a few of us fall into that trap when committing to 12+ hour days. I know I do! Inspirational stuff man. Congrats on your success. I've read quite a few of your posts, you have definately put in the sweat at work to deserve it. Too many new bloods are looking for quick cash.... man running your own show is hard hard work. Cheers.

Congrats bro. Ive made money before here and there but cannot figure out how to sustain this man. Its getting to the point where i want to quit but I know i am not..tried everything lately, everything i do makes money but im spending more than im making..hard to tweak. But hey im trying 3 different things this week, so lets see.. And i know the advice would be to stick to one thing and be good at it..but im good at alot, just cant seem to figure this out. lol, i know that sounds like a contradiction but i do know alot, just cant put the damn pieces together

Just stick to one thing for a while. I also have a million new ideas a day but you need to focus. It's hard, but you'll never get anywhere if you keep jumping from one thing to the next.
 
Inspiring post

- Be honest and be yourself. I'm a very honest person and often come across as quite rude (I'm sure a lot of you have noticed!). Sometimes being too honest gets me in trouble (I often lose sales by being too honest!) but long term I believe this helps. I get a lot of referrals in my business and my clients love the fact they will get an honest answer from me. They don't always like the answer I will give them, but they know it will at least by honest. Bullshitting can get you so far, but it's really not the way to go long-term. You should always be yourself - people like working with people (not businesses/machines) so let some of that personality shine through!

Many people lose themselves when they see some $$$. Be real. Congrats for your achievement.

If this question is not personal would you like to share what was the hardest part in your carrer online so far?

Also you left out how many potatoes you had to eat to get to seven figures.

Very good question.

Whilst I love the entrepreneurial lifestyle, it's still hard when you have a close group of friends and family who all have regular jobs. They just don't understand the lifestyle and I often miss out on things due to work or need to take calls at unsociable hours.

That's one of the main reasons I moved to an office. People understand going to work so when I'm at the office people know I'm working. When I used to work from home everyone assumed I could just do everything for them like collect parcels, pay bills etc. sounds stupid but it can get annoying, especially when you're running a company and your time is valuable.
 
Congrats for your 3k post - very inspiring!

3 000 posts for 4,5 years that is 666 posts per yrar. :)

Sorry, that question is too personal. Lets just say I can hardly look at potatoes in the same way anymore.

I feel exactly the same. . . even if you show your family that you make a lot of money they still are going to treat you somehow.
But i always thing the same thing..Should i try to continue working here and keep some extra money to reinvest back or maybe i will mvoe to somewhere else and lose some money and maybe i will work more and better?
This question hits me a lot these days!
I would like to hear your opinion on it :)

I found I was a lot more productive when I left my parents house (2010) and had pressure to pay rent. If there's no pressure, it's easy to get lazy. Same logic behind office except it also helps me focus and keep work and personal life separate which is important.

Thanks a lot for your answers Thomas. You are right about being productive and that pressure helps a lot sometimes!
Thanks :)
