1-How has BASE helped with you figuring out what you want to do or what kind of business/industry you want to learn, get better at and make money in?
2-Do you find your motivation increasing to learn more about this industry and be more proactive in this industry in general?
3-How has this program helped with your procrastination?
I, myself am a writer and I like to self-publish. I was talking to Shannon about this the other day how I really wanted a writing subliminal to be more dedicated to writing and find more enjoyment doing so. Mostly, I self-publish my own books and then market myself. But, I suppose I am scared to do BASE because I see it more as focused on making money quickly in whatever way possible vs. doing something you love and finding a way to make money doing it.
Do you believe BASE really helps out to find more enjoyment in your career/niche and have that insane motivation to do your best, be the best and stick with your field or passion? Or do you find it more of figuring out what makes the most money in the world and striving after get rich quick methods or niches that are hot?
Well greetings to a fellow writer (kindle?). I write on kindle and plan to do so long term as it's more of a passion for me rather than a strict money maker.
1) This happens in the first stage, or at least for me it did. I've had this happen two times so far; when I first started BASE almost exactly a year ago and this past March when i discovered and decided to get into copywriting. Stage 1 should help you discover this.
What's funny is that prior to my first run of BASE I thought it was going to guide me in expanding my kindle book publishing. Nope. It guided me to a profitable industry that suited my situation, knowledge and talents. Though I will readily admit that Shannon's subs are not the only tool I use (i can't mention these openly as it breaks rule 4 of the forum).
2) Yes and yes. For example, when i first got into the traffic biz I was pretty aggressive about founding out what worked, what didn't, and ultimately what worked best for me which is quite a bit different from what might incidentally work well for others.
3) It has increased my productivity as focused on my industry, but I still procrastinate on occasion. This appears to be a module Shannon is going to upgrade in BASE 6G, though he did say that procrastinating is a product of hesitancy related to guilt, shame and fear (he made some yoda-like wisdom filled post on his journal about this).
Ultimate Writer 5.5 or 6G will be out sometime next year, which is why I am currently running BASE to kill time in a sense. Oh yeah, and to be ready to start up my new copy biz! Can't forget that can I?
Your question about having a specific writing sub is something many of us here on the forum have been waiting on for a while. It appears that 2017 will be the launch year for that particular sub, which will include everything to make a writer happily write more in a more organized and productive / efficient fashion, but also have that writing be seen and noticed by our happy audiences.
Let's just say that this sub is so important that I'm not willing to focus and expand my kindle publishing until that sub is released. That's why I'm getting into copywriting for now because it's persuasive writing and only slightly different story telling than what I do in my fiction pieces. Oh, and the money is excellent lol
Hope that answers your questions
