Can't read his site. Too many pop-ups and distractions. I know this is his business, but please only ask me once if I want your free book!

You're not a C1 (or B1 or whatever) if you haven't tested.

One more thing: No matter where you stand, don’t look to the top of the mountain and curse the distance in between.

Instead, look to that peak and realize that today it is closer than it was yesterday, and tomorrow it will be even closer than it is today.

No matter how you cut it, going from intermediate to advanced language skills is a long-term goal.
That seems like good advice. :-)
