Sometimes a site would run on three different small or cheaper scripts to accomplish what I wanted. Sure, it was a hassle, but once money afforded it, I build a CMS from scratch that would so all of that and more. In the end, it actually helped me build a better mousetrap as I would see the flaws in the different things and would correct them in my reincarnation.

Do not discount hard work. If there is a will to succeed, there is a way to get around it.

You're welcome.

I have managed to get where I am based on hard work, and never giving up. I have had my ups and downs like anyone else in the industry. But I am always plugging away. I write down ideas all of the time where I find opportunities for money making.

Sometimes I think them out, and see the ROI is too small, and not worth the effort. Others I see higher returns, and less work. It's really about (over the long haul) getting the best return on your investment. Whether it's money, time, or both. If you want to work less, you need a bigger ROI for your efforts. But if you are just starting out, you just want to see ANY return on your efforts.

Hang in there champ. You're hungry, and will eventually get there. Luck favors the prepared mind.
