My guest today is Mike Vineyard. I met Mike at a charity event here in Bali, Mike is the founder of Ecommerce Dreams, where Mike and his teams help entrepreneurs with skills, knowledge, and opportunities to build their dream business. He is also a digital marketer who spent more than 15 million on paid advertising.  At one point  Mike had a 9-5 job, however, he has been able to break free and now enjoys the life of freedom. We are going to talk about Mike’s journey, and I will pick up Mike’s brain on how to build a life of freedom and how to succeed in digital marketing.   Resources mentioned in this episode:Book Mike recommends:  The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - https://www.amazon.com/Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho/dp/0061122416?tag=10mj-20 Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown  https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137404?tag=10mj-20 How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan - https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mind-Consciousness-Transcendence-ebook/dp/B076GPJXWZ?tag=10mj-20 The War of Art by Steven Pressfield - https://www.amazon.com/War-Art-Steven-Pressfield-ebook/dp/B007A4SDCG?tag=10mj-20   Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo  https://www.amazon.com/Hagakure-Secret-Samurai-Yamamoto-Tsunetomo/dp/4805311983?tag=10mj-20 Books Mentioned:  The Art Of War by Sun Tzu - https://www.amazon.com/Art-War-Sun-Tzu/dp/1599869772?tag=10mj-20   Podcasts he listens: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant  - https://kite.link/NavalBWtwitter   Connect with Mike Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therealmikevineyard Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iammikevineyard/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vvineyard/ Website:https://beacons.page/vineyard  https://ecommercedreams.com/ Transcription Tools Mike Mentioned:  Otter.ai - https://otter.ai/ Copy Smith - www.copysmith.ai/ Pencil - https://www.trypencil.com/   Want to sit down with Anatoly 1 on 1 ?
