📉 What to do if your energy levels are always running on empty

They say sleep is the fountain of youth.

Well, according to our favorite health expert Dr. Andrew Huberman…

It’s also the secret to having consistent energy throughout the day.

That’s why we’ve been following his sleep protocol ever since he revealed it on Tim Ferriss’s podcast back in 2021.

It’s a non-habit forming blend of three science-backed ingredients:

• Magnesium L-Threonate

• L-Theanine

• Apigenin

Nowadays, we never leave home without it.

Back then, you had to order each ingredient individually from different suppliers, which was a major pain.

But not anymore.

Because Momentous (where Dr. Huberman is a scientific adviser) now offers all three in their best-selling Sleep blend.

Momentous Sleep comes in convenient single serve pouches, so it’s easy to travel with. Plus it’s made in NSF-certified facilities in the USA with no additives or fillers.

Which is why many of our favorite podcasters including Tim Ferriss, Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson and many more all trust Momentous.

If you’re looking to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer…

Without feeling groggy in the morning…

So you can enjoy consistent energy levels and high productivity throughout the day…

Working With Clients

Avoid This Pricing Mistake When Pitching Freelance Projects

Three words most new freelancers are terrified to hear when pitching clients:

“That’s too expensive.”

Sound familiar?

Well here’s the problem…

You’re far more likely to underprice yourself than over price yourself. 

Especially if you’re less established.

And if your rate’s too low, then you’ll scare away great clients.

So, what’s the answer?

Make friends.

Get to know other service providers and find out what they charge — even if it’s just a rough ballpark.

Because the better you can understand the lay of the land… 

The easier it will be to price yourself competitively and land top-tier clients.

Working For Yourself

The Inconvenient Truth Holding Most Freelancers Back

The best thing about freelancing is that you can teach yourself the basics of almost any skill for free online.

Unfortunately, that’s also the worst part about freelancing.

Why?

Because you’ll often pick up a lot of bad habits along the way.

Things you’ll need to unlearn in order to progress and eventually master your craft.

That’s why finding a mentor is so important.

It may not make sense to look for one at the very beginning of your journey…

But once you’ve got a few paying clients and steady work coming in…

You should be looking for someone to learn from.

There’s a reason Tony Robbins says “the fastest way to achieve success is to model it”...

Because finding someone who can show you the way and help you avoid common pitfalls will shortcut your learning curve.

Tool of the Week

Boost Your Credibility With Podcast Guesting

Case studies and social proof are great.

But there’s one thing holding most freelancers back from charging premium rates and commanding an elite position in the marketplace…

Credibility (or a lack thereof).

And the fastest way to build credibility is to “borrow” it from somebody else…

By getting booked as a podcast guest.

Studies show podcast listeners are typically more educated, affluent, and active on social media than the average American.

And when prospects see (or hear) you being interviewed by someone else they trust, those feelings are instantly transferred to you.

That’s where Guestio comes in.

Their guest booking and interview platform allows you to cut to the front line and book yourself on shows like:

• Entrepreneurs On Fire with John Lee Dumas

• Build Your Network with Travis Chappell

• Franchise Secrets with Erik Van Horn

• And many more

No more jumping through hoops or sending out cold DMs.

So if you’re looking for the simplest and easiest way to build credibility and attract more of your dream clients…

Head over to Guestio:

Find your first (or next) podcast booking on Guestio today.
