Question of the Week 🤔

"What is one thing you need to stop doing?"

Sometimes stopping bad habits or letting go of commitments that no longer serve you can have even more positive effects than adding new positive habits to your life.I call this clearing your plate.

It’s something I often do and also often encourage my clients to do as well.Give it a try!

Power vs Force 💥

What’s the difference?Here is a beautiful passage from the book Power vs Force to explain this concept..“Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact, he is governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control. Because power is effortless, it goes unseen and unsuspected. Force is experienced through the senses; power can be recognized only through inner awareness.”

Your Circle of Influence

Have you ever heard that you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with?

Think about it.👉 What is the average income of your inner circle?👉 What is the average happiness level of your inner circle?👉 What is the average health of your inner circle?One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to surround yourself with people who are playing the game of life on the level that you want to be at.Something that often is missed when people give this advice though is that people playing at a higher level than you will only want to invite you into their circle, because you are going to uplift the collective.

So, if you want to attract a higher level circle of influence start by upgrading your own personal habits across the board. You attract what you become.

Freelance Arbitrage

Are you looking to build a business or hire people, but don’t have the money to pay people in your country?Introducing upwork.com (the world’s largest freelance website)

I was quoted $70,000 to build my meditation mobile app in the US.

By working with Eastern European freelancers on upwork I was able to build my app for less than $6,000.I have been hiring freelancers from upwork for the past 9 years to fuel my entrepreneurial endeavors on shoestring budgets.If you need talent, but don’t have a big budget check out this site.

I don’t get paid to send you there, but I do hope this is helpful for those of you who are overwhelmed when thinking about how to start your business.

Best Ways to Make Money 🤑

My experience is that the best way to make money is by doing things that you enjoy and could see yourself doing for decades to come.Sure there are opportunities to flip stocks, hustle on Ebay, become a crypto expert etc. but those things are only sustainable if you really love doing them.

Whatever you invest into over the longest period of time is ultimately going to pay you the most money.So the moral of the story is stop looking for ways to get rich quick and instead double down on work you love doing over the long-term.What can you start building today that could make you a millionaire 5-10 years from now?

That's a wrap. Have a blessed week fam!Lots of love,Brandon#TheOwned
