    Waiting for money to advertise for mainstream affiliates, then launching full out. After launch, getting geared up for next project to run at the same time.

    Other than that, stressing about getting everything ready for the wedding!
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

                  No i think it's just in general the web moves so fast you have to be ready for change at all times.

                    Traffic from affiliates, we used to have stacks of good affiliates, most are on auto pilot nowadays and new affiliates dont seem to be interested in our main niche even though it still sells well :/

                      I know that feeling as well. I think in most cases an honest audit of how you spend your time may reveal you actually have more time than you think. I know one tactic Personal Trainers use is to have clients start a very detailed food diary to show just how poorly they eat. If you did the same with your time you may be surprised

                          What works for that is bringing someone on you can delegate that stuff to, do you can focus on the stuff you're good at an actually enjoy. Makes the whole process more fun
                          Agreed! When we sold there were so many emotions. The hardest moment was telling staff about the decision to sell. At the same time I was relieved to not have to carry the stress of an office full of people that rely on me in so many ways. It was a stress that I wasn't comfortable with at that time.

                          Now the thing I miss the most is my staff (maybe not all of them LOL but at least the key ones). I'd love to be able to walk into my office on Monday and say alright guys lets work on this. Having a group you can work with and get stuff done is something I took for granted.

                              Right now my biggest business struggle is trusting others in business.

                              Over the last 15 years I've given ideas to people I've personally worked with in the industry (not so much online) and things worked out great for them. A good few years of income, both of the really successful ones kind of puddled out slowly over time, as a lot of things do. I have a few close people I've known for years that I trust.

                              But what I've been focussed in on like a laser the last last month now, none of them can help with as it's a small programming glitch in a software solution for adult. I've put 2 things together that nobody has thought of, and a little bit of code is getting in the way of them working perfectly together, creating the final solution. Fully open source license, all clear. The bit of code I need made, or will create myself, will not be open source.

                              I'm afraid that if I get a freelancer they will put 2 & 2 together and run with it. My biggest struggle right now is trusting others.

                              The second struggle I'm seeing ahead, is implementing it in such a way that it gains traction before being copied by others that clearly don't have the best interest of our industry / community at heart. I'm not that guy that has those connections. While it will make a ton of money and turn things around for many people, and I have the enthusiastic support of my biller (NDA), I want it to go right and fly into what it's meant to be, not being stifled by my lack of connections.

                              Aside from that life is great and Happy 4th of July everybody !! :-D
                              If you'd like any feedback feel free to drop me an email.

                                Have in mind, offline is online's biggest enemy.

                                Don't let Your biz, which is an online reality, grow with huge offline ballast on the sides.

                                Spend time and money on Your online reality, get rid of offline heavy ballasts.

                                Cut off as much as You can from offline which surrounded Your online.

                                You'll be surprised how much offline shit is around Your biz and sucks on it like vampire.

                                Then You will be healthy again. ;-)
