I was asked at the forum to tell what my day was like. People wanted to know what I did on a daily basis to become so successful. So, I told them. I went through my whole day from morning until evening, every step of the way. I left nothing out. Yes, it's quite a full day for me. Heck, I'm writing this article at 10:11 PM so you can imagine how hard I work at my business.

Anyway, most people replied to the thread that they were inspired by my story but one person came to the thread and essentially said to me that I must be really miserable working as hard as I do. I couldn't believe the nerve of this person, assuming that he knows anything about my life, what I like and what I don't like. Because my lifestyle doesn't suit him, he assumes that I must hate what I do.

Let me make this perfectly clear. I LOVE what I do. I wouldn't do anything else in the world but Internet marketing. I love the long days. I get bored when I'm not working. I'm not the kind of person who can sit around all day watching TV. I'd go nuts. If I didn't enjoy my life, I'd do something else...trust me on that.

Anyway, here is the point of this article. Don't let anyone, and I mean ANYONE, make you feel like what you're doing is wrong. It's YOUR life and you have to live it the way you want. So please don't let anybody tell you what to do with it. If somebody has a suggestion that might help you, listen. You can then accept it or reject it...YOUR choice.

I've been running MY business MY way for almost 6 years now and I am very proud of the business that I have built up. It didn't happen overnight and yes, there have been long hours. But they have been more than worth it.

My mortgage will be paid up this December...11 years early.

Anyway, I hope this has been of some inspiration to you. And I promise...I will NEVER tell you what to do.

I'll just make some friendly suggestions.

To YOUR Success,

True story. A guy over at a forum where I hang out made a post about how his hosting company screwed up by not sending him an email about his domain renewal. As a result, the domain lapsed and he lost it. Well, I don't mean to be a royal pain in the backside but there is only one person responsible for keeping track of when your domain comes up for renewal...you.

I have a spreadsheet with all my important pieces of info, including logins and passwords, domain renewal dates, commissions owed and due, and so on. I don't leave anything to chance or in the hands of others. It's my business and ultimately, I'm the one responsible for making sure that my business doesn't crumble to dust because I forgot to watch over it.

It's kind of like needing somebody to remind me to feed my kids or they'll die. Well, duh! It isn't anybody else's responsibility to remind me to feed my kids or take care of my business...or anything in my life for that matter. Ultimately, I am the only one responsible. In other words...the buck stops here.

What about you? Do you take care of all the things you're responsible for? Do you keep track of domain expirations? Do you track your commissions that are owed you? Yeah, I know it would be nice to have the merchants pay us on time, but when they don't, it's up to us to contact them and say, "Hey, what's the deal? Where's my money?" Nobody is going to do it for you, that's for sure.

Show me a person who is very successful and I will show you somebody who takes care of his own business and doesn't leave it to others or to chance. That's a sure fire way of losing your shirt.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some deadbeat merchants I have to get after for commissions that are owed to me.

Hey, somebody's gotta do it.
