Mac, thanks for the motivation! My personal fave “Music to Write By” is from Cirque du Soleil, their first two CDs. I used them throughout my MBA in Paris, France. Many papers to write, much studying to do, many wonderful memories linger; of sitting at a small round table in my tiny (30 sq meter) apartment … productivity personified!

Jim, I have to agree with Charlotte; I was feeling my confidence at an all-time low; a couple of weeks later, I’ve got four jobs for different clients I’m working on now. Believe me, persistence really does pay off.

By the way, Mac, Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger”? Really??

Diane

Persistence pays off every time. I’d encourage you to read through some of the articles on getting clients on the website. Both Steve Slaunwhite and Ed Gandia have some excellent strategies.

I’m confident you’ll land a great client any day now. Be sure and let us know so we can celebrate with you.

Stay motivated!

I enjoyed the article. This couldn’t have come at a better time. In a way I’m just starting out. I’ve been writing my own pieces for the last 7 years for a gym I own. The problem is I am bored out of my gourd right now.

I’ve started the Accelerated Six-figure Copywriting course. I’m on both Elance and oDesk. Sent proposals up the wazoo and either lose the gig or the client flaked out. Needless to say my confidence is at an all time low. The content is there. I have 15 different pieces in my portfolio and get great responses from a few of the higher paid proposals I sent off.

However, they eventually fall off the face of the earth. I’ve had it happen 4 times in the last 10 days. Each, by themselves, would have provided a steady income.

I read, watch and listen to everything here and on the AWAI site. Learned bunches and will continue. Not sure if anyone will see this or why I am evening writing it.

Maybe for therapy.

Signed,

Another broke writer
