You sound like a good guy who's got too much on his plate, man.
But that's a good thing! You are in a place right now where you can truly pick and choose what is important to you and slowly shave off the things that aren't ... or that can wait until later. It sounds like you have a GREAT start in business, and as has been said many times, going to school right now won't necessarily help you do what you want to do. But that doesn't mean you need to stop going completely, at the very least cut it down to 1 or 2 classes per semester, that will buy you an extra 3-4 hours a day. And if you do that, don't instantly fill those hours with other things. Let that be free time for a while, and selectively fill those hours with things that will help you sustain the rest of your schedule and your life ... which may turn out to be leaving them as 'free time' for good. Good luck to you man, sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders. You will be just fine! :thumbsup -Phil PS- Let me know if you need help with anything, I'm always looking for long-term side projects. Hit me up on ICQ if you want to talk. |

Everybody goes through those phases man. you gotta reshift your time and put things in priority of importance. Sit down and write down the things in your day that have a positive effect on your life, and focus on those things only.

you dont want to be one of those dicks with a masters degree and still working in a supermarket or working a shit job for the man.
unless you want a job with less pay and less freedom, why bother with college at all? |
bdjuf,
i think we all feel like that at times.........myself included. i'll break it down for you the way i see this........ go where the money is........if you can make a great living in this business, i say do so and reprioritize everything else as money means security and freedom to do what you want....... along with focusing on this biz, you need to rest! sleep is probably the most underrated activity to maintain yourself, along with decent eating habits and some exercise. you are burning out, my friend. make sleep a real priority, and even naps, man, who out there doesn't like a great 15 minute nap? can completely recharge one's batteries...... so focus on the money, and when you work, work hard, and then rest :) take care my friend |
Ooops forgot, spend as much time as possible laughing. That helps give stress the boot too.

You need to find your slowest day of the week and scrap it completely. Just rest and chill out for that whole day and you will more than make up for it in the long run...

Let me give you a little advice. I started the buisness in 98 when I was 18. Was making great money and was going to school full time. Everything I had I built my own. I never had time for anything. I was a walking zombie. So I decided to put buisness on hold and finish school. A year later my grandmother got really sick who is my gaurdian. Her medical didn't cover all her bills so I paid for it out of my pocket lost all the money I earned put me in debt with a year of school left.
I was rock bottom near homeless eating Ramon noodles to survive. I quit school got my CCNA for giggles and went back into buisness and back on my feet making more money then most people with a any type of degree. |
if your charging all of your metrosexual cloths - that IS the reason that your accountant recommended BK

Drop (postpone) school or business. One or the other. Will help a lot. I would choose sticking to business and dropping school for the time being :winkwink:

What are you majoring in? I plan to go to the univ in the next year or two but i think it would take up to much time. |

What are you going to get your degree and not even make more than 50k a year. While running your own business you make double that. just my :2 cents:

Don't quit school, scale back one of your businesses..
A lot of the people on this board are over,half way through their careers and beyond. You are just starting off.. ask yourself "do you see yourself doing online porn for the rest of your life" or "working on the internet". Then ask yourself where the internet was 10 years ago, and where it will be 10 years from now. Then think about what you will be doing in 20 years. My point, a college degree is security, as long as you take it seriously and get it in something worthwhile. |

You don't have any problems. You're young and healthy and making money and getting laid. Quit school if you want to make more time in your day. College is mostly bullshit anyway. What are you really going to go do with a degree? Give up your succesful business and go get a boring job in a corporate environment somewhere? I graduated a 4 year university summa cum laude with a BS in Business Administration and I can seriously say that I learned almost nothing relevant to real business. No one does, unless you count memorizing some facts and learning how to put on a suit and tie and give a presentation in front of the class and other such bullshit.

Seems you're building a life that is running you, not the other way around as it should be.
SIMPLIFY things for yourself. You're still so young, there's no need to be running yourself ragged like you are. Living in an instant, disposable society it gets a little tough to grasp the concept of doing things over time versus "right now". Think of it this way... Better to cut your load in half and live to enjoy the fruits of your labor then to burn out early and become another tragic story of illness or death that comes on way too early. Material things, money and status are swell and all - but can be wiped away in an instant with the right (or wrong) series of events. I know first hand what it's like to have years of hard work destroyed leaving nothing to show. A slower pace with rest, enjoyment and peace built in to the schedule help insure that you live a more balanced life. Keyword being LIVE. :thumbsup 1813493 :qci no pleh erom |
Not sure if it's been already asked, but what's your mainstream business if you don't mind to tell? :winkwink:

Get automated. True success is having a business that rarely requires your presence. Have someone handle ALL of your adult business tasks, not just a percentage of them. Pay what ever it takes. Even if you have to pay $600 for someone to manage just one of your sites and you have 10 sites! Yeah it will cost you $6000 a month but if your netting $15k a month it shouldnt matter. Good Luck! Either that or quit school.

dude, I know that nothing lasts forever my business now, it won't last forever. Realistically speaking, one day in the future it will stop making me rich. but RIGHT NOW is THE TIME where it's making me the money. Right now is my "once in a lifetime opportunity" and I feel like I should be concentratin 110% on this opportunity to maximize the outcome before (if someday) it crashes. the way I see it, let's say it dies out, and I need a degree, it will be very easy for me (compared to others) to go to school again becaue I won't need a job since I will have alot of money saved up in my bank account... |
