How do you think your past affected your current performance (do you think if you had a different past things would be much different now)?

cheers
I am 26 years old..

I think my past has always affected me in the future, I've learned a lot over the years in my dealings with people on the street, It's given me street smarts that translate into day to day business.. I am able to pick up on certain bad things before most people, and I've been burned alot less than most people because I go into alot of things not trusting anyone until I have valid reasons to trust someone..

I'm really big in the loyalty department, I've had alot of people ask me to come and work for them, there's been some pretty good offers, but if I left Epic Cash, I would be breaking one of my major rules, and that is be loyal until someone gives you reason otherwise not to be...

I am a firm believer in being happy with what you do.. and who you work for, sometimes the satisfaction of knowing I do a good job and am greatly appreciated outweighs the offers of cash and positions I've gotten from people. If I was not happy with Epic Cash, I would leave.. No reason to leave because I am very happy.

I've worked my ass off for the last few years, It's paid off for me, and I think that my work has payed off greatly for Epic Cash, And I hope it will continue to bare good fruit for us all as time goes on.

In addition to my work, I have to give it up to the great staff of people that I work with:

Tanguy our programmer, he does great work and is always able to work with the ideas I give him. And is always there when we need him the most. He just had his first child last week, so I'd like to publicly congratulate him on that.

VIPCory - Cory does alot of support and backend work with us, We have been around close to the same amout of time with the company and we hit it off right away. We work good together even though we are over 500 miles apart. We always try to brainstorm together with different ways we can make things better And we try to keep everyone happy with support calls.. With the amount of affiliates we have sometimes it does get hard to handle it all.

DoctorT - Everyone has their right hand man, and I consider DoctorT my right hand man. He does alot of stuff that I am not willing to do, or would otherwise be put on the backburner because of the time it takes to get it handled, He's eventually going to climb the ranks and be a replacement for me or Cory as we all have our plans and don't plan to be doing the same thing forever.

It's hard to find good people to work with.. It is my firm belief that if you treat your employees well they will work hard for you. If you find someone who will work hard then you need to snatch them up.

Workers are a dime a dozen and can be replaced very easy. But finding someone who compliments the company and makes things run smooth is like a diamond in the rough.

Every once and a while I think we all feel burnout.. It happens to me every few moths. I have to do something to get myself inspired again. It's not like I don't like what I do, but it starts to get repetative and you long for something to do that will make things bigger and better.

As for my past, if things were different, I deffinetly think I would be in a different spot, but I am not sure that it would be where I want to be, and I am not sure that I would be as happy as I have been with my success..
