Back in 2005, Wired journalist Joshua Foer went along to the World Memory Championships to write an article about the competition and its contestants.
You know, the usual…
Who they were, what their motivations were and how exactly they were able to memorize packs of playing cards in under a minute and rattle off lists of 200+ random digits as if they were their own telephone number.
He assumed they were all gifted individuals.
Blessed with super powerful memories.
Elite human beings.
But that’s not what he found.
At the championship, he made friends with a British contestant called Ed Cooke, who told him that all the contestants had average memories.
How could that be?
If that were true, Foer asked, surely anyone could become a World Memory Champion?
Cooke grinned, nodded, and offered to show him exactly how.
He gave him the exact techniques to use, checked up on him to make sure he was practising enough and inspired him with the Bruce Lee quote:
“There are no limits. There are plateaus, and you must not stay there; you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you.”
One year later, Foer WON the U.S.A. World Memory Championship.
Why do I tell you this story?
I do so because most of the time, people don’t fail because of a lack of effort.
They fail because they don’t have the right toolkit.
There’s too much noise and not enough practising what actually works.
So here’s the thing:
There’s making money, and then there’s making money online.
Making money online makes you feel like a king.
Powerful. Filthy rich.
Once you are earning even just an average salary from your laptop, you’ll feel rich because you can go anywhere and do anything you want.
I can’t recommend it enough.
And the exact toolkit I recommend, that comes with all the strategies you need (as well as the best Telegram group you’ve ever experienced), is Andy Cav’s Freelance to Freedom course.
Make this happen for yourself.
No plateaus. No regrets.
Now is the time.
