He looks at me like I got lucky somehow and fell into some chair that had the controls set to make what I do. Im not saying im a millionare, but I am doing very well for myself for being 26, and i'm continuing to grow each month.

However, he constantly asks me to teach him stuff. how to do SEO, how to do SEM, how to get a job or clients that I have, how to make websites... HOW TO MAKE MONEY. He refuses to learn on his own. I made him a wordpress site and he constantly pings me on how to make money from it... refuses to learn anything on his own. Ive showed him plenty of information and how to find it on the web just by reading and learning, but refuses.

Now im not saying Ive never asked for help, I do. I have a close group of friends that help me out on stuff (just like today) and I try and share my knowledge in stuff they might not know, like SEO and SEM.

Point being V_RocKs your 100% on the money. I bust my ass and read and learn and sometimes fail, then learn from that, etc etc etc. it takes HARD work to be successful, if it was easy, everyone would do it.

just my
I have one of those... He died last year doing his old job...

But his dream in life wasn't to buy a house for his wife and kids. It was to buy a BMW... I always thought that was odd. He made about $3K a month and at one time was trying to find a dealer who would sell him one no matter what the terms were.

If you want a BMW, make more money.
