    day in, day out - does it get boring for you?

    speaking of online adult. do you think you are more excited, or less excited about working in this business... than you were, say, 2 years ago?

            The secret to not getting bored is looking for the next trend and being at the front of the pack to pioneer it.

            You have to stay challenged.

            Plus this business is so amazingly easy. I got 2 checks in the mail last night from rebills on programs I did back in 2002.

            I just shake my head when those kinds come in and think what a fun business this is where you don't meet your customers, make money on a worldwide basis, and can stop marketing a program and still make money from it year after year after year.

            How can that ever become boring?

              Business is never boring.....There is always a new challenge ahead somewhere if you look hard enough.

                        I recently started doing some mainstream projects again. And
                        am feeling much more interested and motivated as a result.

                            I am so far beyond burnt out it isn't even funny. Sometimes I can't bring myself to work for over a week at a time. I hope I'm not still doing this in another couple of years. I think I would rather choke on my own vomit.

                              Doing repetitive things daily, does take it's toll... I like to switch up my routine so it's not as obvious to the mind.

                                Yes sometimes it gets really boring. When I feel like that I get in my truck

                                and go off roading, golfing, fishing anything I feel like doing and just be happy that I can do these things when ever I want

                                  Automate most of my stuff so large portions of the day our spent playing xbox and pc games while everything is running in the back ground. Plus that leaves me to try something new if I want to.....

                                    I got that problem too.

                                    I think to myself I am going to get all this work done during the week, I end up doing nothing instead.

                                      If I'm ever feeling down, I take a trip to the po box. There's a good chance a check I wasn't expecting will be in there.

                                          I was more interested in doing stuff when I started. I still get days though that I get a good idea and feel the same as if I was just starting.

                                              I think of it as a video game. The better you play, the higher score you get. The higher the score, the more fun. I love this work although sometimes it can be very very stressfull. I don't see how you could be bored as its fun to launch new projects and watch them fail or succeed. There is an unlimited numbers of things to do, you can always improve your product. I love how changes are instant and sometimes changing the smallest thing can help generate alot more revenue. I like the challenge, the fast pace. I been working online since I was 14 and couldn't see myself not doing it.

                                                Night after night, we pretend its all right
                                                But I have grown older and
                                                You have grown colder and
                                                Nothing is very much fun any more.

                                                  I dont have time to be bored. some of the tasks are tedious, just gotta find excitement in it and stay psyched up about what your working towards

                                                  This job beats any job I ever had working for someone else, that alone is worth the occasional randomness of it all.

                                                      I got majorly burnt out earlier in the year... still trying to recover. Now I'm busier than ever and stil attempting to catch up on everything.

                                                      If it's not one, it's the other... at this rate, I'll burn myself out again trying to catch up on what I missed from being burnt out!

                                                        if I was doing the same shit day in and day out I'd be bored...


                                                        and I agree with KRL...I get TINY lil deposits to my epassporte account from flashcash that I promoted YEARS ago...nothing huge but you know what? it funds my little book buying sprees on amazon from time to time ;)

                                                            I like the learning part. Yes some things get boring, but you can always take a break, fo as long as you want, and then finish it later.

                                                                                You have to stay challenged.

                                                                                Plus this business is so amazingly easy. I got 2 checks in the mail last night from rebills on programs I did back in 2002.

                                                                                I just shake my head when those kinds come in and think what a fun business this is where you don't meet your customers, make money on a worldwide basis, and can stop marketing a program and still make money from it year after year after year.

                                                                                How can that ever become boring?
                                                                                Love your answer! That is why you will always be sucessful! Positive attitude is the key. This business is sometimes full of drama and it is easy to get swept up sometimes however, this is also a fun, non corporate business with some great people in it.. Everytime I think I am burnt out I just remember the really cool people this job has allowed me to meet... and keep on trucking!
