                      I'd say that is a good general piece of advice, which most of the time applies to business as well. However, there's also a twist to it. Sometimes knowing when to give up on something makes for much bigger profits in another area.

                                          dont try to do everything yourself. Delegate ALL the things you dont like or are not superb in.

                                          Basicly every fuckup and failure in this industry is due to not following the above rule.

                                                Figure out what you like and what you're good at. If those are the same thing, DO IT. If they're different, do what you're good at and refine what you like until you're good at it, then do it too.
                                                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                                  Never stop learning.

                                                  Set goals.

                                                  Get to work! Now!

                                                  Don't get complacent with any level of success you reach, it probably won't last.

                                                  Don't fuck with the tax man.

                                                  Don't blow all your money on material stuff - it all ends up collecting dust and forgotten sooner or later.

                                                  Save and invest diversely along the way.

                                                  All the best to you

                                                            Little something about 'Goals' everyone is talking about:

                                                            Goals are an excellent thing as long as the goal is GOOD.

                                                            most people dont know that yet so they keep working on something that is simply
                                                            not doable.

                                                            Vision is better.. and keep the goal very abstract.

                                                                              As to this Biz I would say that the most important thing you can remember is "Traffic is The Key"
                                                                              If you have the best looking site out there it won't sell anything without "Traffic"
                                                                              If you have the most original idea anybody has ever seen it won't go anywhere without "Traffic"
                                                                              If you have the highest quality content imaginable it won't be seen without "Traffic"
                                                                              You can get more "Traffic" once you have "Traffic"
                                                                              etc...
                                                                              So to me I would advise anyone to figure out their "Traffic Plan" before they go full speed ahead on any project if they want it to be successful, and once they have the plan in place and are getting a decent amount of traffic then optimize that traffic to squeeze every penny out of it since that is the most important assett they can have. Each persons plan will be different so the amount of traffic needed for the project will vary according to their goals and type of project.

                                                                              p.s. I have alot of "cool" dust collecting sites that I have spent way too much time on...can you guess why?
