Impermanence is the nature of all the unreal. If you haven't noticed yet, nothing lasts. Everything gets devoured by time. No object lasts. No emotion lasts. No mood, experience, thought lasts.

Do understand that you cannot find permanent freedom based on impermanent phenomenon. Sure one can "build an empire". However, that too will crash and burn as all else. So do not get too attached to objects, people, FAMILY, experiences or even a particular way of looking at things. All will refreshed by new in time. And this is great. All our suffering, feeling of insecurity, unease and restlessness comes from this. We know that shit is not permanent, but we want to make it last somehow. So the struggle continues.

The sages and saints, yogi and mystics, Buddhas and the wise ones from all over the world, from all religions and traditions have pointed out that: it is possible to go beyond this endless cycle of suffering, cycle of pleasure and pain, of desire and fear. It has been referred in different traditions by different names: Enlightenment, Self-Realization, Liberation, etc.

How can this Enlightenment thing bring about lasting satisfaction and peace of mind? Only through perfect understanding of your timeless nature. That nature is also free of limits, free of any quality, free of likes and dislikes, free of size, shape, color. Basically free of any bias.

So do not set your standards too low. You want the best for yourself. Do not settle for anything less than infinity.

This might be one of the foundation principles of DONE vs PERFECT.
Done being the enemy of Perfect.

You either get things done. Imperfectly but gaining progress.
Or you keep on improving, working, grinding and perfecting; sidetracking results.

I've always strived to make things better so they perform better. For getting greater results.
This philosophy however opens up a possibility to a fatal flaw. Missing out on the desired outcome by wasting your efforts on a cause that may no longer be relevant.
Interesting perspective.

This is a game changer for anyone who's overly attached to their work for the sake of attaining pride in perfection. Myself included.

Thank you for sharing Andrey.
 
You have campaigns that make 5 figures a day and still work? Assuming you make any decent roi on that, it would not take half a month to have your bank account flash 6 figures. You can retire on that. Yet you feel the need to pump out more shit because you think youre not baller enough yet.

I wouldn't want to retire at 18 years old.

You never see the light at the end of the tunnel. Its always more money. What makes you believe that more money makes you somehow happy? There are people who work their entire life that get incarcerated in their late 50s because some tax evasion scheme catches up with them. Im all against taxes, but wasnt the goal freedom?

It definitely makes me happy when all the brainstorming, designing, and testing pays off. Being successful at something is very rewarding.

Women? Dont need money. Cars maybe. You want a lambo. Did you ever drive one? How about you rent one and see how it goes. Most of you dont have the necessary driving education to get anything out of such a car. You have a general speed limit on your streets that sucks when you pull up in your toyota. Guess how much that will suck when you sit in a race car wrecking the engine because it isnt moved properly. Youll move it up and down the strip and guess what, therell always be someone who has a couple zeroes more on his bank account. If you want to be some big shot money wise, youll never see the end of it.

Not much of a car person but I've taken my bike 170+ mph multiple times. I bought a sport bike when I was 16 and at that age it might as well of been a lambo. Best purchase I've made.

Money doesnt buy you shit and the peasant mentality is still strong in almost all of you. And if you somehow had all the money in the world, youd just lose it in the next financial crash. Like everyone else does. "No I wouldnt. Im smart".

Think again: shitsenders - the ULTIMATE gag gift - SWEET revenge at its finest

Maybe quit fucking people over for some stupid commission. Youre a bastard and you know that. And it hurts you. Youll not admit that but it does. And it will eventually catch up. Maybe not in the form of some AG.

I advertise mobile apps/games for iOS and Android. I also help mobile developers monetize their work. How does making money = fucking people over?

Maybe, after the next one of your silly campaigns is over and youve got some spare change, live a month with poor children in south america. Let them teach you whats important in life. Youd be amazed.

^ nailed it.

Pretty much what I was gonna reply with.
 
Plenty of bounty and booty.

But in all seriousness, there is no end game for me. I just want to keep going and see how much I end up with at the end of it all. Of course, if I succeed through this I will invest in other areas and see how it all goes.

To build something ( Business/Product/Whatever) I can be proud of, and to find something I enjoy doing. So far all the affiliate/SEO stuff I've done was in niches I couldn't give 2 shits about, doing things I hated to do.

It was always money over happiness, now its happiness over money.

That is what alot of affiliates feel after they make dat MONEY.
The ones who share with me anyway :)
Yes always important to know your limits and the price you pay for happiness.
 
Lol @ endgame. There's no endgame. If you're in this business because you like it then why would you ever want to "cash out"? I like it and I know I'd be bored out of my mind without it.

But long term goals? Scale as much as I can, get my fingers in to as many ventures as possible. Keep myself entertained
