Who has the marbles to walk into an interview and drop this resume on the table? If I was recruiting for my company and someone submitted this resume, I would probably hire them on the spot.
You can write the most thorough resume with strong action verbs, the nicest layout, with the best schools and GPA, [...]
Every day I meet people who want to be self-employed or at least want to have a side hustle related to one of their passions that brings in some passive income. When I listen to people’s stories and challenges, I hear the same issues over and over again.

Procrastination is a huge issue for a lot of people. Working for myself for the past month has exposed my issues with it even though I’m doing what I love. I procrastinate. The day ends. I stress and feel guilty. I go to sleep. And then I do it all over again. There’s got to [...]
