Congratulations ! > Scaled my agency/consultancy without any marketing, just referrals and word-of-mouth. Any hints what do you do ? How lucrative is contract based development / consulting in general ?
Good work speaks for itself. I always go the extra mile for my clients, I save them money, time, and effort. I am transparent with pricing and have a one-page contract that is very direct. I did this to fund my travels while I did a lot of inner work. I am now equally focused on my own projects as I am on my contracts. It's not for everyone, this is the only way I knew to maintain my course towards my highest aspirat…
This is great! Nice work and keep it up.
No family responsibilities I take it? (As in you don’t have any kids). I think, off everything you listed if you were to do a 80/20 what’s the 20% here - eliminating parasitic relationships and having healthy habits ? Something different? You put out a long list but I think what the community is most interested is in understanding how they can make their (version of) big changes in their unfulfilled lives and what could they learn from your success. To that effect what’s the cornerstone or foundational things on which everything else was built in your case?

Meditation is a bloated term in 2019, spiritual materialism is rampant as well. I am Indian-American and feel more connected to the Sanskrit words for things, they are simpler and more descriptive at the same time.

The is the real question
I am waiting to purchase this : Nokia 2720 Flip [1]. I think it would be a great replacement because it has 4G support, Google Assistant, Maps, and Whatsapp. Pretty simple but also, suffices basic needs. [1] https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-2720-flip
Thanks for the link! Been looking for something like this.

#117I finally shared a preview of a documentary short to a friend of mine who is a feature film director. I’ve been working on this project for a couple years now, and it’s my first project for the big screen.
Their feedback was nice to hear, and I’m glad to have finally shown them my work.

#120My lifestyle business is hitting its goals this year netting me much more than my previous job compensation last year. Consistently sleep 7.5 to 9 hours a night, which makes meditating at least 30 minutes more fruitful. Going mushroom foraging several times this month, which is a great excuse to go hiking outdoors. All these changes have reduced my day to day stress and anxiety levels dramatically.
Would you share anything about your lifestyle business?
What industry? How long you worked on it, etc?
