Good question...

I do pretty well.. not like the big big boys but most likley better than 98% of people on this board, and i'm stressed most of the time. Once something is going good something breaks or something similar.. I dont think I will ever think i have made it.. See once you make money there is no bigger fear than loosing it.

I still don't think "i've made it". There's still a LOT more I wish to accomplish in life. I'me a very, very goal oriented person and never give up. Plus living in San Francisco where even a dump costs 1 million has set my standards super high.

As far as this biz goes... I guess the closest thing was a few years back during a Vegas convention. I got invited to a private Maxcash dinner that was all employees and like 1 other person. Though I sent them a decent amount of joins daily I knew I was hardly there biggest affiliate....but knowing that I made enough of a good impression where I got to sit at a private dinner meant a lot to me.

when people come to tradeshows and seek me out instead of the other way around 9and not to kick my ass ;-))

seriously, I always feel I have to change and keep growing..I'm never satisfied or complacent, so would say I haven't really made it until I can walk away with no regrets...

when i started making enough to pay all my bills and still have money left over to go out on weekends.

something i could never do when i worked part time and fulltime jobs

Sooo True :thumbsup

My Sea Animals project will help you in that aspect.

thanks,

me neither

hehe, you're 24, right?

95% of people at your age, would probably consider themselves succesfull if they made 20% of what you earn....

imo

to make it means not only money

Still working on it, hopefully will reach it soon since compared to some of you guys I don't need shitloads of money to consider "having made it" ;)

fifty - see sig :upsidedow

I've met a few people in life who have "made it" by any definition. Without exception not one of them thought they had - all thought the best was yet to come, past sucess was not that big a deal, etc.

bump for more feedback... :D

It's all about being respected by others that "makes you". It's rather pathetic if you earn 2-300K/year doing porn and nobody respects you for that. You're just another loser with alot of money. It's all attitude and charisma that does the trick. My god some people on this board are living in a small small world. Some may think -> WHOHO I make 10K/month submitting galleries, I made it! Look at me! And everybody thinks you're a loser who surfs porn and sits behind it's pc all day.

For me, "I made it" -> If I can keep my earnings without touching a single button or sitting behind the PC for more than 10 minutes/day -> doing stuff that matters!!

Well fuck it, YOU'VE MADE IT! :)

I don't think I've made it, tho I make more sales than 1, 2, 3, 10 joins a day, like Headless stated in his first post..

I don't think the amount of sales you make in a day tells you if you made it or not..

I like NetRodent's point of view tho :thumbsup

I'll let you know then :)

Wonder when people like Brad Shaw (as much we hate him), Lensman and Mac Dre realized (if they did already) "they made it" :D

Having the money sitting on my lap is what that will make me realize it.

Agreed on that.

I don't know if I will ever feel that I have made it. No matter what level I reach I always feel the pressure. I don't know if it is that I want to take care of employees properly or what. I think it will take retirement for me to feel that I have made it ;)

"Made it" is a general term. I consider each level of success as "making it". I knew I "made it" another level this past year when my family and friends that don't know I was in the business started suspecting I was selling drugs due to my house, cars, toys, and charity contributions.

The next level for me to make is to increase my income with less hours. I need to work smarter.
