i've been doing this since i was 20 have had it all go to shit and have to start over not only from nothing but from being very deep in debt several times. i am still paying off debts from the last failure at the end of 2008. if i end up failing this time i don't know if i will be able to afford to start over doing something else again. i've poured my life, all my money, sacrificed time and relationships all on something that might just end up with me in massive debt again. i keep trucking on because, what other choice is there. there are days when i feel this will really make it, and others where i feel its all falling apart. its not so easy to keep a constant positive attitude.

Success is never easy for anyone, even when it appears to be. Just as with success in anything in life... with relationships, with family, with work, with business, it requires sacrifice, determination and the persistent drive to make it happen.
Reading your post sounds like that of someone who is planning to fail, not succeed. I put everything I had a few years back into a business and then was grinding constantly - waking up at 4:30 and getting home at 8 or 9pm.
I let all my online stuff go. I wanted to focus on my business.
After 2 years of grinding and feeling like I could easily make more online and should have never left, I decided I was going to make extra money and start working online again.
I thought long and hard about how to do it and where to start with little and turn it Ito a bankroll I could grow.. I went to a friend and said "listen, please tell me one product and one traffic source, I'll sign up under you and make you some money". He did.
I started with a few hundeed dollars. In a few months, it was 10,000.00 (maybe 1,5yrs ago). Just from buying more and more traffic from one country for one specific thing.
The point being that how you think and how I think is VERY different. My thinking is "what do I want to achieve and how can I achieve it?" And I reason thought it until I figure it out... and your thinking is "why try, I've already decided it's not worth it".
I found answers, you found excuses.
It really is that simple.
