Similar to elance, GWriters also offers a platform for freelancers. Although, it is for academics only.

I love the website and your post is really inspring to me.

It motivates me to continue with my own project, a language learning method with which I have learned 5 languages.

I am still working on it, having it launched 2 months ago. I hope one day it will be my muse and allow me to learn others languages and travel.

Keep on posting, because it gives good ideas and motivates people to keep on going.

Thanks a lot

I came across this blog by Googling The effects of LSD on creativity . Expected it to be a “junkie” forum/blog and as I kept reading the posts it become evident that it is a kind of “junkie” blog . So many people getting high on how easy and simple it is to make money…lots of money with little downtime and effort…if you just know how. I felt i had to make a comment
As a general rule there is no fast and easy money. Of course there are exception to rules and it seems most are used as case studies here. In reality to make it in the online business at this day and age you have to be smart above average like this guy Hogan. Unfortunetly, judging by the posts, most people aren’t. How many of you would think to offer money to bring someone else clients? The standard thinking is to cold email and ask for a commission…but who pays attention to cold emails these days. Its little things like that which matter and most of us do not have that kind of thinking. To make it you need to be smart and/or lucky. Do a simple fact mathematics. There are probably over 100million people trying to make money online and not so many profitable ideas out there. Although the internet market seems to be big it really isnt…..its actually just the western countries spending money online but people from all over the world compete for them. There has never been so much competition in the hstory of the world and brains and luck had never played such a big role as now. Give it a shot, and when it does not work try something offline..you got bigger chances there.

Tim,
I am a student of yours who some time ago purchased your book the 4 hour work week and put it down when I was maybe a chapter in ( I just hadn’t had the intelligence to fully grasp what you were saying at the time). Since that time I have had a multitude of jobs in many diverse and various fields. I always fought that thought in my head “you’ll reach the top in anything you do, just pick something and stick to it”.

The voice in my head was right, I will always rise to the top but the second part of that thought was opposed by the expression “diversity is the key to life”. You see, It was important for me to experience many types of careers to get a understanding of a broader picture. To have perspective from different angles. Perspective one does not gain from just picking something and sticking to it.

I remember hearing you on the Joe Rogan podcast, not recognizing your name from a book I had purchased and not read. Your outlook felt so familiar. Like something I had herd as a child that resonated in my psyche. I feel like now is the time I can better understand and comprehend the knowledge you so generously pass on.

I am trying to keep this short, what I am asking of you is a favor. Circumstances in my life have brought me to this serendipitous moment where clarity has shown itself on my horizon. I have moved to Beaverton, Oregon leaving my life in Southern California to help my wife pursue her dreams and finish school so that she may become a physicians assistant.

I told her, on one condition! We move near nike headquarters so I can run their track. I had no idea what the portland area had in store for me. I just knew that if times were good or bad I can find my bliss, my life’s balance running that track. We have been up here for a little over two weeks now and of course I have been looking for jobs at nike. Not really knowing where I would fit in and just last week I found it.

The nike “EKIN”! A position that utilizes all my talents but will also allow me to grow in ways I couldn’t even imagine before. My philosophies align and my imagination soars with the amount I can contribute to this position and beyond it.

I ask as your student to endorse me, recommend me, do what you can do to help me reach this launching pad for which I can take off. It would be my deepest and most sincere gratitude, of which you have already earned.

I’m writing this open letter with a thank you for what you have already done for my life, in hope that there is more in-store.

Thank you,
Chris Franklin
