keep telling yourself it will be great bro, if you say it enough times you might make yourself believe it.

My boss is great, I've known him for 15 years.
I don't punch a clock.
I make my own schedule, and work from home as necessary.

That's how I felt for a long time. It felt like giving up or admitting defeat. However I've also come to realize that most every business has a life cycle. Some businesses, no matter how well executed are just not applicable in different times. You need to have the right thing, at the right time to be successful. Timing is truly everything. My businesses in adult served their purpose at a good time, and now the time isn't as good to be in this business.
I'm not working for a startup, but for a University that runs an accelerator.
You know what makes me feel better about my new job? I made $100 to sit in a 2 hour meeting yesterday, talking and holding a pen. Fuck my life right? So terrible.
So now tell us Peter, since I'm such a failure with all things I've done by 31 years old, please enlighten us with your successes.
