“I used to think that making thousands of dollars every month would make me happy and open up the doors to chase opportunities that would otherwise be closed. It turns out, most of the things I was chasing were there all along.”

Wow man, that’s totally like what Buddha said to his wife and kid who he’d left behind 13 years back, at the time he had just resolved to scour the world in search of enlightenment.

You know how the story goes — having just fulfilled his inner quest, he then rushes back home and begged his family for forgiveness: “what I’ve been looking for all this time, I could have found regardless of my location. However, home was the best possible location I could have chosen; I was unfortunate in having chosen the most difficult path, and I will devote the rest of my life to making you up for it”.

And you know what? He sure gets a second chance, and henceforth commits to doing a heavenly job at keeping his family happy!

Just remember: are you not enlightened regarding your chosen path, after all these struggles? You would better not let that go to waste, and embrace the best from your job just as you embrace the best from your family! It takes two sides to make a sappy old coin, you know that? Get out there and MAKE millions of dollars, and moreover MAKE your family happier by the million-fold while you’re at it.

Are you really certain it’s too late? I bet you’re just dizzy from having fell through the Niagaras, but keep in mind there’s a whole wide lake down here, and the wide stream goes on towards the horizon. And THEN there’s the sea, but see… that’s a different matter. Just make sure you’re not still getting carried away in your own inner turmoil!

Geez, try to keep positive. It’s tough for everyone, you know? And some of us are still further back in this glorious path of Internet Marketing utopia, and you don’ t see us complaining! By the way, the link I’m trying to slip by along with this comment pertains very first affiliate campaign (I’ve also had my share of personal life-changing epiphanies recently); hopefully you’ll be so kind as to approve this comment, and kinder still if you concede submitting your opinion on what I’m doing there. You have my e-mail, and I’d very much enjoy getting some feedback!

All the best,
P.

I’m cracking up as I read your post because it’s 6am and I’m reading affiliate marketing blogs. Guess I need to get a life – and some sleep. Your advice is right on time. Thanks for a great post.

Have you tried outsourcing tasks? I have managed to reduce workload and increase growth / momentum through outsourcing. Instead of working at a day-to-day operational level, I now operate at director level which is less stressful and gives me a bird’s eye view of my business.

Affiliate marketing isn’t really the sort of thing you dream of doing as a kid. I wanted to write, hence this blog, but work is work. This business can be incredibly empowering if you use it in the right way. Chasing numbers in the sky gets old real fast though.

If you only ever work hard towards an increase in turnover, you’re gonna burn out. I feel privileged but at the same time extremely burdened.

No matter what people say, it doesn’t get any easier as you begin to make more money. Becoming successful and staying successful are two completely different things.

Go ahead & do something else then. My goal is to generate enough riches and then I am going to study medicine or becoming full time volunteer somewhere else, or maybe an evangelist, whatever it is, I just want to work for pure non profit. But I am still far from that goal sadly

It’s easy to ignore your current circumstances in pursuit of an idealistic future. Create a life that you’re happy living now, rather than constantly working for the future.

I completely agree with everything, kinda feels like I am reading my own thoughts.

I first got serious into making money online so I could have capital to start a real business. Now that I have the capital I have lost all desire it feels like because sitting on my ass is just too easy–yet sometimes depressing.

It’s pretty messed up but it’s true what they say…money NEVER brings you happiness, I don’t care what anyone says…it’s true.

Thanks for this post Finch. I will most certainly help others put things into perspective. I hope you and ya girl can patch things up. When you find contentment, be sure to pass the notes my way.
