Dear GUAVABEAN, I am in need of some advice about working with a coach. A couple of months ago, I decided to invest in one rather than follow tons of courses and losing interest because the course wasn’t what I wanted or what I was looking for. I thought if I worked with someone who has already reached the level in their business where I want to be, one-to-one, it would be a better way to spend my money because it would save me time, and I would get professional help. However, two months in - and the contract is for a length of 3 months, I am not happy at all with her and the results. She has given me some assignments and some advice that I followed and implemented, but instead of geting a real strategy in place, learning tricks and various tools of the trade as well as having access to her, I feel like I’m still in the same place as I was before I hired her. I honestly want to fire her and since there is still the final payment outstanding, I’m thinking about not making this payment, which is due this week. But of course, I signed a contract with her.

Dear GUAVABEAN, what is the best payment method to use for people to pay you internationally? For example, can you use Payoneer or Paypal? Recently a friend told me that TransferWise is also an option. Which do you recommend?

"Dear GUAVABEAN, been inactive the last month as I was focusing on my website. I gave it a fresh coat of paint and optimized the SEO and now I'm getting 3k views a month since January, which I'm quite happy about! But none of the visitors are turning into clients. They seem to be coming for the awesome blog posts but that's it. Any tips to turn them towards at least looking at my services?"

"Dear GUAVABEAN, can you recommend online sites where I can take good courses for freelancing?"
