Have you wondered why some people succeed while very similar people fail? Have you ever felt like the advice you’re hearing isn’t quite right? That the advice doesn't align with what you see happening?
The 5 laws:
-
Performance drives success, but when performance isn’t measurable, the network drives success.
The best is the best and is preferred for being the best. If that isn’t clear, it’s about who you know and who knows you. “Isn’t clear” could be that the values are close or aren’t quantifiable. -
Performance is bounded. Success is unbounded.
The quality difference between the top players is often negligible. But the winner gets a disproportional selection of the rewards. -
Previous success x fitness = future success
“Previous success” means social proof like previous sales. “Fitness” means the quality of your offering. If your product is good, some sales will get you more sales and more sales can get you a lot of sales. -
Team success requires diversity. But a single person gets the credit.
The rule isn’t directly applicable to us since we’re mostly solo operatives. But the law states that the best teams have diversity but also have a single strong leader. The leader must promote cross-communication and keep the group focused. -
With persistence, success can come at any time.
It looks like the most success happens early. The truth is most are more prolific early on. Any given attempt is just as likely to succeed as any other. Early on, you’re simply rolling the dice more often. But any roll could win.

Morning everyone ☀️
I'm a huge music fan and previously worked in the live music industry for almost 9 years. Music is always such a mood booster for me so I thought I would share one of my morning go-to playlists that always puts me on the right track.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1K3Ma1J6rHAiKts64sjN11?si=bc4eb2e6fefb4ce3
I would love to know what songs or styles of music have a motivational impact on your mindset/day?
Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead,

Hi all. I finished Outliers this weekend by Malcolm Gladwell. It's an older book that I have heard recommended, but just got around to reading it. It was super interesting to me in many aspects. I typically read a book that will move me to take specific action steps for my business, but this one just caused me to think a whole lot! My husband is reading it next because I kept reading him excerpts throughout and now he is curious. 😂
Hey everyone!
It's a priority for me this year to produce more content on the Freelancing School blog. Last year, I taught myself a little bit about SEO in terms of keyword research, outlining, and writing something that ranks really well, and I'd like to pour on the gas this year...
My plan is to hire writers who can help me with creating the first drafts of the post. I'll have keywords in mind, we will collaborate on the outline, but I'lll leave most of the draft up to you.
Before I go to Upwork or elsewhere to find someone to help me with this writing, I wanted to start here with you all!
If you're interested, email jay@freelancing.school with:

Would love to collaborate with folks here!
I love listening to music while I write! I'm old school so no lyrics to distract from my own thoughts. I like ambient music the best. Here is one I like a lot.
