Lots of Money + Stress -or- Little Money + Little Stress?
First, this reminds me of the song "mo money mo problems" sad enough as it is.
Ive found with the more income I make, the more stress I have. Last year from about December to May '08 I had a small list of SEM clients plus adult sites that were making nice money. I maybe worked a few hours a day but pretty much free to do what I wanted to do.
Around June last year this company contacted me (I talked to them months before) about partnering up services to offer to their customers. After a few talks we came to an agreement, which paid nicely in return.
However now I am really starting to regret it... more and more each day. Isnt wasnt bad at first, but this company has started to bring on more and more customers, so I have had to do not only more work, but also more development to keep up with their demand. As well, I had a friend who got laid off who is doing sales for me and bringing in some clients, so I am juggling with those as well.
At the end of the day, I'm exhausted and sitting here I think to myself, is it really worth it? Honestly, I don't think so. My relationship with my gf is starting to go south because I'm not only working 10+ hours a day, but also very stressed out. As well, my adult sites that I put a TON of time into have pretty much gone sour; I can tell by the checks I get now.
Anyone here in the same boat? Or would you choose between doubling your income per month if it meant 10x the stress on you, your family and friends?
