NOTES
Treatment of addiction
- He was raised in Hungary
- We constantly relive the past by having defense mechanisms from our childhood
- From a perspective that we acquired when we were vulnerable children
If someone taps you on the shoulder you don’t feel any pain, however, if you had no shirt or even had a burn, how would that feel?
- Sensitivity magnifies the pain that we have
- Sensitivity also leads to more creativity
- Very often, the most creative people have the most pain
Many escape pain through addiction
- Tim mentions the feeling of being outwardly successful, inwardly tortured
How we see the world determines the world that we live in
- Before we create our worlds with our minds, the world created our minds
- Gabor became a doctor in part because of his grandfather dying
- Doctors have authority and this was one of the reasons it was appealing since he lacked it early in life
Addiction is the attempt to solve a problem
- The problem is usually a childhood trauma
- Depression – DEPRESS – to push down
- Don’t ask why the addiction
- Ask why the pain
Mammals are creatures of attachment, otherwise, we wouldn’t survive
- Endorphins help to facilitate attachment
- One more need is authenticity
- Being connected to ourselves
To survive in the wild, we need our gut feeling
- If authenticity hurts the attachment, we suppress our authenticity
- Elvis Presley “any way you want me, that is how I will be” – a love song that is actually a sad song
- That came from Elvis’s suffering

Hello ,
I saw your tweets and thought I will check your website. Have to say it looks very good!
I’m also interested in this topic and have recently started my journey as young entrepreneur.
I’m also looking for the ways on how to promote my website. I have tried AdSense and Facebok Ads, however it is getting very expensive. Was thinking about starting using analytics. Do you recommend it?
Can you recommend something what works best for you?
I also want to improve SEO of my website. Would appreciate, if you can have a quick look at my website and give me an advice what I should improve: http://janzac.com/
(Recently I have added a new page about FutureNet and the way how users can make money on this social networking portal.)
I wanted to subscribe to your newsletter, but I couldn’t find it. Do you have it?
Hope to hear from you soon.
P.S.
Maybe I will add link to your website on my website and you will add link to my website on your website? It will improve SEO of our websites, right? What do you think?
Regards
Jan Zac
Hello Jan, first of all, thank you for the thorough comment, this makes it easier for me to return the favor.
Thank you for complimenting the site. As a non-technical person, it’s easier to just build something that is working and looks simple instead of trying too many tweaks in the beginning, especially since there’s nothing much to optimize at such an early stage. As someone would say, no need to major in the minors.
At this point, generating traffic is not a priority, content is. As we know, “build it and they’ll come” is not a realistic approach either, but Bill Gates had around 10 “dark years” where he actually worked without having center stage attention.
Paid advertising is just an attention hook. That’s why I actually don’t invest in that at the moment because it’s easy to buy traffic and anything with such a low difficulty, can be replicated. However, further down in the funnel, if you can’t keep the interest, it’s wasted money anyway.
Let’s imagine the next 2 situations:
1. you bring in 1000 unique visits through paid advertising
– 100 subscribe to your email
– 10 read your email for the next 5 email sequences
– 2 buy whatever you would want to sell them as an affiliate
2. you bring 50 organic visits through guest posting, social media, networking
– 30 subscribe to your email
– 20 read your next 5 email sequences (newsletter maybe)
– 10 buy what you are offering
2 buyers vs 10 buyers
These are just examples, but as you might know, playing the long game and going for quality traffic over quantity is many times better for long-term success. Making easy money is just that, easy come easy go. One of the persons who has gone for quality over quantity is exactly the person whose notes are taken from in this blog post.
Tim posted a lot of good quality content. When he wanted to make a living out of it, he didn’t ask 1000 people to buy $5 stuff. He asked directly for $10k for something of real value. Of course, it always depends on what industry you’re in and what you enjoy doing of course.
Honestly speaking, the best advice I could give you and which I would actually give myself if my only goal would be to maximize traffic to the website, is simply the following 2 things:
1. WRITING GOOD CONTENT + sharing it with the right people with the same enthusiasm I wrote with
2. WRITING GOOD CONTENT on OTHER BLOGS that are relevant to the niche
Now, what does Good Content mean? Just being unique. If you make something with the reader in mind, they won’t leave your website. This is exactly what most content producers do. They find a formula and stick with it.
Fun content? Works for many.
Serious Content? Works for many.
Content with a real purpose? Works for most.
The question is what works for you?
Your site just needs better speed while scrolling and if you are able to make money yourself with online investing, why not create a video course that you sell for 1$ or actually FREE? You know, just like me, that the email list is your friend list, your customer list, and your loyal follower’s list.
Thank you for noticing that I haven’t optimized my website for collecting emails. It’s something that I might look into in the future, but right now one of the reasons is actually because I want the person reading to have to click at least once before getting there. The newsletter page I’m referring to is on the home page, pretty hard to miss once there. http://felixdragoi.com/
Hope you found some value in this response and looking forward to hearing from you again.
PS: If you enjoyed your visit in Romania, I’d be glad to hear of it. Not sure if you’ve found any hint on the website, but I am actually from this part of Europe. 🙂
