[Check out this briefing on this special kind of project here.]( Now is your chance to discover how this path can help you get your foot in the door and start making money, even with zero experience … Plus, how you set yourself up for a second paycheck from the same client! Pam — the writer who created the checklist — used this project to first make $2,000 … … and then to earn a grand total of $24,200 in fees, from the same client! And AWAI Success Michele Peterson used this checklist tactic to get her foot in the door and then to generate $6,485 from a CPA firm, $12,548 from an insurance agency, and $13,500 from an attorney.

I'm excited to relay that I have a client meeting today at 10 to talk about his website, social, and writing a story. I've known this gentleman for 7+ years as we were in the same industry. He's gone out on his own as have I. You just NEVER know where paths will cross again. Wish me luck!] [Elias' Facebook Post: That's another contract signed with a new client starting October 1st. But this new relationship forces me to look in the mirror in a way I've been avoiding. While I've accomplished more in a year than I ever thought possible, my relatively new day-to-day has become familiar. And safe. If I'm being honest, I'm terrified. The next steps force me to become someone I am not yet and I can't get over the fact that the fear of failure has popped out from behind the door to wink at me. It's amazing how that never goes away. But maybe that's a blessing in disguise. I have realized that if your dreams aren't big enough to require new actions that absolutely terrify you, you aren't pushing hard enough. I have found a way to make fear a motivator. To make fear a funny friend. To make fear a mentor who shows me what will happen if I don't force myself to be better. And she's always been there encouraging me — as she is now. From the time I had $57 left in the bank, a new family of 4 to think about, and nowhere else to go but up.] Do you have a win you'd like to share too? Send me the details at askkatie@awai.com.
