📉 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…

Even on Mondays when your to-do list is a mile long…

Working With Clients

One Sneaky But Legal Way to Get Clients

People need to know who you are and what you can do before they’ll hire you.

And most freelancers try to bridge this gap on an “as needed” basis by…

• Applying to jobs on freelancing platforms

• Sending out cold emails and DMs

• Running ads

• Etc

But there’s another way to skin the cat:

Joining a paid mastermind group.

Now, you don’t want to join just any mastermind…

Instead, look for one that has a lot of business owners in the group.

Because many of these folks could be potential clients.

And by joining the group and networking with them, you get the chance to do two things:

1 - Demonstrate your skills 
2 - Show you care about investing in yourself

Aim to add value wherever you can (without expecting anything in return) and you’ll be hard pressed not to generate a few referrals.

Working For Yourself

How to Build a Winning Freelance Business Even If You’re Brand New

Daily habits are the fastest path to competency and eventually mastery in your freelance business.

The more you practice, the better you get.

The better you get, the more results you can produce.

And the more results you can produce, the more you can earn.

We recommend breaking down your daily habit into two parts:

PART 1: Study

To map out the study portion of your daily habit, ask yourself this question:

Which do you have more of — time or money?

- If you have more time than money, focus on free resources.
- If you have more money than time, focus on paid resources.

Paid products and courses can shortcut your learning curve…

But there’s more than enough free information out there to teach you the basics of any one of the high-income skills we’ve listed in this guide.

In the end, what matters most is that you get started as soon as possible.

PART 2: Practice

Theory is nothing without application.

So the next step is to find ways to practice your high-income skill every day.

Whether that’s writing an ad, designing a logo, or putting together a campaign plan.

But remember this:

Anyone who is highly-skilled at something was once bad at it.

You don’t go from zero to A-List overnight.

Don’t overcomplicate it.

And try not to practice the same things everyday.

It’s good to shake up your routine and complete different tasks.

Aim to spend at least one hour a day on your daily habit.

If you’ve got more time to spare, then of course, you can do more.

But creating momentum is essential in the early stages of your freelance business.

And if you want to progress quickly, you need to be spending at least an hour a day on it.
