From my point of view, being fairly new on this particular forum.
I have good business training, good instincts, a great support system in mentors and clients.
I was born in S. Philly, raised in Detroit and have been working in Las Vegas for the last 12 years. I saw my first dead body when I was 9, and I grew up in a city riddled with drugs and guns. I have spent the first part of my adult life around people doing dirt, (Driving a Limo, and Bartending) I have spent 10 years whatching people at their dirtiest. I have seen scams, crimes, liars and cheats that most people only see on the news, or hear as "Folk lore".
My point is: The one thing I did not prepare for in this business ( I'm talking about the internet as a whole) is the extreme paranoia of getting ripped off.
I didn't know about that part. That the hardest part, for me.

I though i would be able to do business as usual. Have a good product, be knowlegable of the clients needs, blah, blah..Would I should have been studying is how to get people to trust you in a paraniod world.

In my opinion, it's tearing the little guy in the industry apart, and creating a bigger rift between the have's and the people that work for them, hoping to get a piece of the pie. As long as we keep fighting each other for the crumbs of scraps that are thrown down, the "man" has us by the balls, and keeps the possibility of compitition to a minimum. Just like every other industry.

Thers not enough money in the world to make me fuck someone over. But to a lot of people, $1000 is a lot of money and they'll cut your throat for it.

The big difference here is so many people look at the internet and porn in particular as a "no work", cash cow ,that everybody and their mother wants some.
It's just like living in Vegas. People still keep moving out here with, no skills, and no money or job lined up, because they heard a news story 5 years ago, that said 7500 people a month are moving to Vegas, and finding good jobs.
Well they did, and now it's just like everyother city, if you want something, you have to work for it. And this aint no different.
