One year ago, I quit my +$250,000/yr job and moved to Brazil.
 
 I went all in as a creator.
 
 You think quitting a high-paying job for the uncertain life is crazy, right? Wrong!.
 
 Here's everything I learned from launching a 6-figure storytelling business in one year.
 
 1.) Beginner's hell is real.
 
 Imagine being able to sleep well at night despite income fluctuations. 
 
 If you ignore this advice, you risk falling into financial desperation quickly:
 
 The first 6 months drove of business drove me insane.
 
 Income would come and go.
 
 Nothing was solid and predictable.
 
 But because I savings for one year of expenses...
 
 ...I could sleep well at night and make decisions for the long term.
 
 The lesson:
 
 Save one year of expenses before going all in.
 
 This will help you make better decisions with being desperate for money.
 
 2.) How to fix beginner's hell.
 
 The truth about networking: 
 
 It's not about who you know, but who knows you. 
 
 This insight can transform your reach and open unexpected doors.
 
 I began asking everyone I knew if they need a writer.
 
 Or if they knew someone that needed a writer.
 
 Odds are that one of those people needs or knows someone that needs your service.
 
 Network like it's a full time job.
 
 3.) Don't listen to big accounts.
 
 Things change fast online. What worked last year won't work now.
 
 Don't use mentors who are light years ahead.
 
 Find a mentor who is one step ahead of you.
 
 That's how you breakthrough obstacles.
 
 4.) Become multifaceted.
 
 The difference between a broke creator and a rich one?
 
 The broke ones have one skill: Which is usually content creation.
 
 The rich creators have multiple skills:
 
 -Copy
 -Email
 -Advertising
 -Sales
 -Marketing
 
 Etc.
 
 Combine all of these skills and the world is yours
 
 5.) The internet is A LOT bigger than social media.
 
 People with email accounts 3.8 billion.
 
 People on social media 3.4 billion.
 
 Don't limit yourself to one platform.
 
 Repurpose your content and make it work for you.
 
 6. The smart entrepreneur beats the hard working entrepreneur.
 
 Sad but true
 
 The smartest get paid, and usually have the most time.
 
 Don't chase.
 
 You'll end up pushing a rock uphill.
 
 Strategize to put your business in a position where you can push a rock downhill.
 
 7. Everything takes longer than you'd expect.
 
 Behind this successful year of business.
 
 I've spent years failing with blogs, podcasts, and other internet platforms.
 
 What you think will take a year will take four. So be patient.
 
 The best things in life come with time.
 
 8. Don't hire others to write for you.
 
 I paid a copywriter $5,000 to write my first sales page.
 
 The result? 1% conversion rate.
 
 I hired a mentor to teach me how to write sales pages.
 
 The result? 5-7% conversion rates.
