Since I know so many "friends" here on GFY worry about the mental health of Mister Peabody I am taking my first "vacation" in about eight years. LOL A mini-one at that (just like my dick), only four days (just like my...)
When I get back I'm working smarter, and working LESS. From Dec-Yesterday (seriously) I was working 16 hour days, 6-7 days a week. Now, I have a little empire, my "World" (see sig), and I run 20+ paysites, a network and an Affiliate Program. I do 22 seperate jobs. LOL I'm like the rest of you (or most).
My routine before today: get up at eleven am, check email, stats, sales, etc, suddenly it's 1 pm. Shit! Gotta have "breakfast"! Scarf down some coffee & eggs, back to work by 1:30 pm. Work straight through til 6 pm. FORCE myself to take a 1/2 hour break by smokin' a doob and walking in the local park. Smell the roses, etc. Back to work no later than 7, work straight til 9 pm. Shit!! Gotta order something before all the restuarants close even tho I'm not really hungry...Chinese food, etc, back to work no later than 10. Work straight through til about 2-3 AM. Crash, rinse & repeat.
Now, by doing this for SEVEN STRAIGHT MONTHS (and before then, maybe 12-14 hours a day) I've gone from $0 to over 1/2 mil in gross revenue in about 16 months. Worth it? Um....yes and no, but really mostly 'yes'.
BUT that 'yes' turns to 'no, it ain't worth it' if THIS is my life FOREVER (maybe eighteen months before I drop dead from exhaustion/burnout). So when I get back next week, my schedule changes dramatically.
Hope that helps.
