That's for sure.

Over the last few days (which funnily enough coincides with those two hours of E2 I did) I had some fundamental shifts in how I perceive myself, my life, my values and my goals. I can't know for sure if those two hours did this magic. They might have only managed to shake things up a bit, leaving it up to me to do the rest.
Anyway, some realizations:
1. The more money I charge people as a freelancer, the better feedback I receive. I made the mistake of accepting less money from a client who was very pleasant to work with, but had lower budget than I would normally accept.
Her feedback at the end - "Ivaylo is lovely to work with. It was a pleasure." And she rewrote key parts of my copy so it doesn't sell while giving me 4 out of 5 for "Quality of Work". Makes me sound like a "nice guy" and the fun fact is that I actually was that guy. No. More.
2. I've had my fun trying to work the system and get financing and do as "normal" entrepreneurs do around here. It was some desire to fit in (Tertiary extroverted feeling from MBTI), which I'll have to manage more effectively from this point on.
Anyway, turns out it's rarely fun at all. I'm still going to give some other investors a chance, but honestly I don't really care. I'm making the money and then financing what I want according to my vision, without trying to satisfy narrow-minded know-it-alls. I knew better all along, but... well, damn Fe function.
3. I already know what would be a successful business for me, and copywriting will play a part in it. I avoided thinking about it because I used to see it as too practical, predictable and boring. Now I see it as a way to contribute value, while earning money so I can contribute even more value.
All in all, can't wait to start EPRHA 2.0 full time. Not that I'm waiting, my hand are actually quite full now that I have some realistic vision that's true to myself. Shannon said that EPRHA 2.0 can unlock previous programming that has been unexpressed because of resistance, so I'm sticking with BASE 2.1 till I'm finished.
