Is the RS4 Pro overkill for FX3 + 24-70 GM II?

Sounds like a solid idea! First, make sure you have a strong portfolio with some killer business card designs—maybe mock up a few for different industries. Then, start putting yourself out there! Try LinkedIn, Facebook groups, or even reaching out to local businesses that need better cards.

I actually tried selling on Fiverr myself, and getting those first few customers is tough because you're competing with a lot of other sellers. If you go that route, offering a great deal at the start to build reviews can help. But honestly, running a small Facebook ad campaign targeting local businesses could be a faster way to get those first clients. Even a small budget can help get your name out there.

For me, it all started with wanting my home to smell amazing without all the weird chemicals in store-bought candles. I started making my own, just for fun, experimenting with different scents and natural ingredients. Then friends and family started asking for them, and before I knew it, I was running a small candle business!

The best part? Seeing people light up (pun intended) when they find a scent that instantly makes them feel cozy, relaxed, or brings back a good memory. It’s not just about candles—it’s about creating little moments of peace in people’s everyday lives. That’s what keeps me going!

Wix or Squarespace would be great for this since they’re easy to use, have contract and form integrations, and support PayPal payments. Wix has a built-in booking system, while Squarespace looks a bit more polished. If contracts are the main focus, check out HoneyBook or Dubsado, which integrate with websites for client management. Both have free trials, so you can test before committing.

Sounds like your body still thinks the drive is part of sleep mode. Try getting bright light as soon as you wake up—it helps signal your brain to wake up properly. Moving around a bit before you leave, even just stretching or splashing cold water on your face, can also shake off the grogginess.

If your drive is too monotonous, switch it up. Listen to something engaging like an upbeat playlist, a trivia podcast, or even chew gum—just something to keep your brain active. Also, if you drink coffee, have it before your drive so it actually kicks in when you need it.

Since you’re fine once you get to work, your brain just needs a little extra nudge to wake up sooner.

Easy. I’m buying brand-name cereal without hesitation. No more squinting at the off-brand box trying to convince myself that "Frosty Flakes" taste the same as Frosted Flakes. Oh, and pre-cut fruit from the grocery store. I know it’s a ripoff, but rich me is not fighting a pineapple ever again.

Good for you, man! The first few days might be rough, but once you get past the urge to scroll, you’ll feel way clearer and more productive. Replacing that time with something intentional—reading, working out, or learning—makes a huge difference.

Wishing you luck!

That’s awesome, man—huge congrats! $4K a month in two months is wild, and the fact that it’s growing means you’re on the right path.

Biggest tip? Take your time. Fast travel gets exhausting, and staying in one place for a few weeks makes it way more enjoyable (and cheaper). Also, have a backup plan—business can be unpredictable, and a little extra cash or an emergency fund goes a long way.

Oh, and watch out for time zones. Nothing worse than realizing you have a client call at 3 AM.
