I guess everybody is different, I would consider myself a workaholic if I like where I work, I can do my best and not ever ask for a raise even if I deserve it. I can work 2 or 3 jobs 18 hrs. a day and do my own projects on the weekend it doesn't effect me. It's just more money in my pocket.

I like to think about the bigger schemes of things like my future, where I'm going to be when I'm old I don't want to be the 54 year old guy that I work with in my office and gets paid the same as me. I didn't go to college, so I really don't have many options and consider myself very lucky that I found IM. If I'm going to put this off, it would be the same as one of the biggest mistakes I made in my opinion which was dropping out of college. I can only be accepted for entry level jobs and my average pay is $10/hr. I really don't have many options.

Even if I'm not actually doing any work, I'm always thinking of ideas to make money, wheather affiliate marketing related or not, from selling gift wrap at my local flea market during the holidays to a topless maid service. Most of my ideas don't work, I've done much better online than I have offline, but it's my ambition that drives me.

I don't know how many people here have seen the movie "Blow", but I like to think of this line throughout my days:

"Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent."

I always tell myself I'm not doing enough work just to try to push myself harder, even though I know I am working or atleast trying to think of new ideas. You can do all the work your heart desires, staying up 24 hr. days on end, but unless you actually have an idea that's going to make money, then you're not going to see any results.

I recently picked up a 9-5 and that makes me work harder with the small amount of time I have to work on IM. No matter how much money I ever make I'll still have a 9-5 since I'm the kind of person that has to go out and have a schedule and have some discipline.

I've also noticed once I start making some money that I get lazier, once I'm bust, I'll go crazy until I find a new way to make money.

Oh yeah and strip clubs, I like being able to go as much as possible and spending a $1000 a night and not have to worry about it since I have 3 paychecks coming in next week.

Everybody is different, I guess it's in my blood my dad has his own business and many of my relatives have their own business. I started selling drugs in high school didn't have to work for many years until I got busted, started working a 9-5 which took some adjusting started trying to find ways to make a lot of money legally and now I've ended up here.
