Don't compare your chapter 1 to Chris's chapter 10. Be at your chapter now and make your own way through like he did, there's no shortcuts. The transitions are the hardest and highly contextual to you which can't be covered by rules or advice. Don't be hard on yourself, resolve.

You know what's funny Chris, ever since I became an entrepreneur I have these "dark days" every now and then. But you know what lifts me up EVERY SINGLE TIME? First I turn to God and back to real honest prayer. The next day I stumble upon one of your videos. Like this for example. Every time! You have something man, I can't describe it, but your style, voice, advice... they just lift me up and it feels like I have found new motivation. I've said to my friend so many times: Thank Christ for Chris Do and his team.

It's interesting to think about focusing on investing into yourself. It's nice to have a goal like that, to invest into yourself until your market value growth slows down, comparable to how much you're putting in. It's kind of hard to know what makes sense to invest in long term, so this is very practical and clearly defined goal. I like clarity. Small things like this can save years of my life. I've been through unclear life goals - not fun. I think you really have to know your stuff and have some contacts to start an agency. When you're competing with cheap labor market from Asia, you need to be more sure that you can deliver.

This video taught me there can be an inverse, which I can use in certain instances where I'm unsure of bopping up my rates. Rule of thumb though is to use a very comfortable price as the lowest so that even though the client thinks they got a bargain, I get a very comfortable pay.
