Here's a thought.
 

This place is known for harshly judging others. Lets flip it around for once.

Instead of saying what you think of others....Why not let the masses see what you truly think about yourself?

Sure...I'll go first.

On the personal side: I think I am a decent guy. I tell it like it is and if you don't like what I have to say....Tough shit. I have personal goals and I intend to meet each and every one of them.

On the professional side: I have learned a lot in this biz but by no means do I know or even pretend to know all about it. I learn new things every day and then I try to incorporate those things into my own business where I can. I only take very calculated risks on occasion and every once in awhile....Even those backfire on me.

As far as overall success goes...on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being total failure and 10 being...well...10....I consider myself to be a 6.5 and climbing.


Now?Cut through all the bullshit and tell us about YOU.

Hmm..deep thoughts... I'm generally happy with my accomplishments.I could do better but time will tell.I really don't care what people think of me.If they judge you based on GFY then they are the shallow ones.

im way too drunk to post anything responsible

amen.

:glugglug

I spend to great a part of my time and resources on high risk high dividend projects.

Other than that I am pretty fucking cool.

Personal side: I'm a nice guy, just trying to make it in this crazy thing we call life. Being honest is one of my main characteristics. I'm known for being pretty sarcastic at times thought. :1orglaugh

Business side: Hell, I'm just living to live, business is not my main focus in life. Money helps, there's no denying it, but I dont let it control me. My main priority is mine and my wifes happiness.


So yeah...that's me in a nutshell.

Hmmm... I am game...

I don't consider myself successful, at least not yet. Others might say otherwise, but I have very high expectations of myself.

Beyond that I think I am a good friend to the people I consider friends, and a decent husband and farther.

The reality is though, that I have worked hard to learn to not really care or pay attention to what people think of me personally. I know I piss people off, and that is ok.

Sure I'll go.

I've been involved with adult stuff for 3 years now. Until Jan of 2003 I never knew webmaster boards even existed and never spoke to another webmaster. I have helped people that weren't webmasters make decent money but being they were never webmasters beforehand they quit making money as soon as the tides changed because they knew nothing aside from direct instructions I had given them.

I took almost the whole year off in 2002 after my son was born and lived from offline biz and my downline from the previous year. Got back into adult full time in Jan 2003, found GFY and sold out or closed my offline businesses. Been growing my income and empire the whole year and am moving forward even more.

I work with a few people I met on here but keep most of my business quiet. There is only one person in the world that knows EVERYTHING besides my wife. It's possible you may see a program from me or something this year but it's also likely I may decide to keep that quiet also. Just depends.

I look at this business like any others, I do what I have to in order for it to work. I don't give up and I don't think small. I b/s on the boards and I'm sure there are many people who still think I'm a newb, I just don't give a shit.

1 to 10 I'd say a 5 and growing constantly.

:glugglug

Edit: I guess I should add I don't mind working with other people on ideas but I don't agree too well with those who aren't as motivated as me. I work with a handful of people who are willing to bust their ass to get stuff done and always interested in working with others. However, if I see a hint of laziness I'm liable to blow you off from now on.

:thumbsup

This brings up images of that movie Stripes where they are all introducing themselves.....


Any o you homos touch my shit... I kill you.

Any o you homos touch me, I kill you.







Over 5 years in the biz, I view myself as valuing my word, honesty and integrity in both business and personal. I'm lazy at times, but only when it affects me. When there is a deadline to meet for someone else I'm all over it. Like Aaron said about himself, I too feel I'm a basically decent guy, I have a pretty fair sense of humor, I talk shit with the best of them and won't take shit from the worst of them. If someone doesn't like my point of view or what I say or how I say it, tough shit. I'm not here to win prom king.

I don't take too much here personal. Even if I've pissed with you, chances are I hold no grudge over it and will just as likely joke with you on another thread unless of course you're a total moron. Then probably not, but there are very few throats I'd just as soon step on.

Next.

Personal side: I treat everyone nice and honest because nothing good comes from being a complete jerk.

Business side: I treat everyone nice and honest because nothing good comes from being a complete jerk.

Successful.. don't know. Been in this business for 7+ years and to me it was a success that I had balls to leave a very well paid job on a radio station with my own show in prime time and do this full time. But that's a long time ago now :)

lighten up Francis ...

That's the guy.

Oh boy, this could be interesting. And I am not so sure I really know what to say, but what the hell, I'll give it a shot.

On the business side of me, I would like to consider myself pretty damn honest and forthright in my business dealings. Some people may not always like what I have to say and I am not above firing (or hiring) someone based on personal feelings or friendships. If they can do their job and they can be loyal and professional, then I can work with just about anyone, but try and cheat me or those I am dealing with and all bets are off. On a scale of where I see myself in the ladder of success? Financially it's shit right now, starting up a new company is hell........ but on all other aspects, I consider myself pretty damn successful. I don't lie, cheat, or steal and people pretty much always know where they stand with me. I have the ability to seperate friendships with business, and this pisses some people off at me and it's seen as my being a bitch, but professionalism and consistancy and honesty are my best qualities. No I don't always make the right decisions, but who does? And some of the decisions aren't always the most popular, but I don't lie and I don't cheat, and that to me, makes me successful. I can and do work as hard as any man, woman or child and don't mind getting my hands dirty and jump in and help anyone if they need it, IF they are helping themselves, if they don't? I have no need to proceed in the aid or relationship.

PERSONAL?? I am a little more, no A LOT less self confident than I am in my business side. Oh, when it comes to caring and compassion, I am right at the top, but as for personal stuff, I am pretty insecure in my own abilities and talent and strengths. BUT I am loyal as a mother, wife and as a friend. If I care about someone enough to give them my loyalties, that's for good, and isn't taken lightly. If I am needed, I am right there to lend a hand, ear or whatever is needed to help.

On BOTH sides, piss me off and that's the end of it and one of my biggest weaknesses either way, piss me off and it is pretty intense. I get frustrated very easily, but it takes A LOT to piss me off and when I get pissed, it's eternal and I DO hold grudges, I'd love to say I don't, bt reality has it here, and it just falls that way. Betrayal is the worst thing you can do to me on ANY level, once I am betrayed I can get pretty vile and generally do.

I don't take my battles pubic, it isn't my style, but pretty much, 99% of the time, you will know how I feel about you and where you stand without having to ask me, once I get enough, I can't hide my emotions and it shows all over my face, my voice and my typing in this case. I am one of those people that cannot under ANY circumstances find it in me to be nice to anyone if they have pissed me off and/or betrayed me. And if betrayal is bad enough, I'll go to the ends of the earth to make someone's life a living hell. THAT is my biggest weakness........ and try as I might, I can't control it, I don't know how to be nice to someone who's gotten on my bad side, no matter how hard I try, the shit just screams out of me and I can't control it.

I am not fake on ANY level........ I am just me, love me or hate me, I am just who I am, ME!

ok, NOW, we won't go into the PMS me, that fucking side is way outta control. LMAO

I have a cold

Firstly i love to just have Fun with every thing i do. I'm a hard worker and very bright. As well as Honest. I would never hurt anyone for no reason. I give everyone a fair chance.

I won't go into my history, but I've come back from a very dark place in a short 5 years..that was about the time I walked away from what I felt was a secure job making a nice bit of change.

That choice freed me up somewhat, but it also led me down a horribly dark path of panic attacs, anxiety etc.

However during that time I have fought back to regain some control over my life...control that I let go of.

Some would have labeled me weak because of some of the things I had succumbed to, others would call me strong because of the other things I overcame.

I still have lingering doubt about my abilities at times, but I know that I am a hard worker...I'm kinda like the tortoise. I may not necessarily win the race or win it in record time but I will sure as hell complete it once I put my mind to it.

I am proud of some of the successes I've had in my relatively short time in this biz..2 1/2 years..and proud to say I learned a lot from my failures.

I don't know what else to say other than don't sell me short, I just may surprise you.

personally... i'm the quite guy sitting by himself.
professionally... i'm my own worst enemy.
personally... i've held myself back for too fucking long.
professionally... i've held myself back for too fucking long.
personally... i have a very good memory.
professionally... i know where the skeletons are buried.
personally... i go out of my way at times to help people.
professionally... some of those very people have shown zero gratitude.
personally... i'm done holding back.
professionally... i'm done holding back.

Hey you're chatting around on a saturday night, that's it buddy, you're fired :winkwink:

Good thread...

I think I'll give it a go...

On the biz side I am straight up. I dont fuck around. Never have never will. There are times when I fly off the handle, but never without just cause and reason. Been in this business since 98 and I have worked with some of the best and some of the worst. I have met a wide range of people, from cool down to earth hombres, to stuck up little bitches who take what they see on the boards way too seriously. I've always gone head first and always will.

I will be the first to admit I dont know everything, but also the first to admit when I do know something. When a new project comes along and I think its a winner I go balls out on it. I dont like to burn bridges. Although I have burned my share of them.

On the personal side... I am a decent guy. I have a fiancee who I have been in love with for 10 years now. Have a great dog who is my brother. Couldnt be happier. I've always been stubborn and always will. I have delt with a lot of shit in my short time on this planet and I tend to not give a fuck what someone thinks, says, or does. If you fuck with me, I fuck with you. I often flip ppl the bird while driving and tend speed sometimes. ;0)

With me, what you see is what you get. Oh and I break face.

:thumbsup

Im fat
My dick is small (im half asian)
I have a gambling problem
I dont even know html
I dont know how to use photoshop
I bought over 1k of video edting software and i dont get it.
I dont return phone calls, respond back to emails or icqs.
I like the Blazers


Ok enough flaming on myself..

Time to jerk.
(when i jerk off at night I think of Aaron)

Since I'm 18, easily supporting a 1 and a half year old daughter, paying my way through a school that has a tuition of $8,000 per semester, I think I'm doing pretty good on the business side :thumbsup


On a more personal note I'm really laid back, honest about everything, and I can always find something to laugh about (got voted most humorous in high school) .. and here's some things i like a lot:

food
pussy
money

No shiit?

Who knew? :321GFY

dude..

I respond back to your shit at an incredible rate..

Way above the norm. You get the VIP treatment.

The only time your phone gets answered is when your wife is home and you are not.


Hmmmmm....Kinda makes you wonder who she was expecting to call? :Graucho

Hmmm... would anyone admit that they have a sucky self-esteem? I'm not sure if I would do that. It's one of the simpliest rules in business. No one wants to be doin' business with a looser.

My last 5 IM's to you have gone without replies. Glad to see I get the VIP treatment. :1orglaugh

Professionally:
I am a hardworking person that likes to finish what I start. I have been working online in porn since '98. I started out camming, but have taught myself how to make money in other areas. I learn easily and have much to learn from all that I meet.

On a scale of success..well, I havent had to have a "normal" job for many many years , so i think I am successful in making my goals of providing for my family and making them comfortable. Im not a "big playa" in the industry and never will be, but in this business, you never know what you might be doing a year from now.

personally:

I think of myself as a funloving freak. I play good with others. I try to avoid confrontation on here because it sucks up too much energy and time..but sometimes I just cant help it!
I'm a fairly good mom, but i'm not perfect.

I accept my flaws (if i am not pmsing)and can take constructive criticism.

If my toes are stepped on too hard I will cut your fucking feet off and serve them for dinner.

I do have a bad habit of having a story or advice for everyone, I am sure it is irritable to some..lol (i just have too many storys of my life to tell)
I'm too honest for my own good and expect others to be honest with me .
hmmmmm I am sure i could write a book now.. so i will end this here.:1orglaugh

I give myself a 4. I'd like to write out a full description/explanation but I'm about to take off for the night, I'll be back later with the full schtick.

I am too lazy for a full evaluation. But on the business side, overall I give myself a 7 out of 10. The 2 years of 20 hour days paid off. But overall, too many missed opportunities. The real players are all retired, or have close to 9 figures in the bank.

Of late, more of a 5 of out of 10. You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with and your weakest links.... I am always hard on myself.

Personally I have done well for a cynical short fat jewish kid who could not get date in high school.

lol...
They were not replied to, but acted upon as the request asked.

You know that.

And you know that there is always a special place in my heart for you.

People buy software?

All asians have small dicks? Greg seems pretty proud!

I never return voice mails either, or ever check them. I hate the phone. Seems only time I am on it, I am talking to lawyers or my girl.

I'm evil.

sometimes people think I'm being nice but in reality I'm just trying to get them to put their guard down so i can do something wicked to them.

You try way too hard.

ahh, but notice you noticed !

Im good enough..im smart enough..and gosh darnit..people like me!

Sleazy you are one of the nicest and most harmless people that I've met in this business. Your post is completely off the mark. If you are truely sinister you are a genious because you have me fooled.

Don't worry, nobody thinks you're nice

YES!

MOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

phew!

He's from friendly Manitoba, how evil could he be?

It's funny how many folks said they don't like answering the phone. I HATE the friggin phone.

Let's see. I'm a mom first, a wife second, and everything else comes after that. Got heavy-handed opinions and I'm not afraid to share them - won't apologize for them either - but I am willing to listen to other opinions and maybe even change my mind.
I'm honest, I hate liars, I don't cheat... friends of mine who are 'big players' in the biz tell me I'm too naive and trusting.

If you give it to me, I'll give it right back. Then again I'm not afraid to eat crow and admit when I was wrong, and I rarely hold grudges. I'll call someone a prick for how they're acting in one thread and then give them credit for something they did in another thread. *shrugs*

I'm not afraid to go out of my way to help people, even though they might become my competition. I don't suffer fools easily, though. Childish high-school behavior sets my teeth on edge.

In my personal life I've got it great even though I might not live in the best house or have tons of money to throw around. Got two (ornery, full of attitude) adorable kids and a (cocky, constantly horny) husband who love me. Who needs more?
I'm always growing though and becoming more patient every day little by little.

In business I've gotten into some things that have held me back but I've also been guilty of trying to follow too many ideas at once and getting myself overloaded. Can I do better? Hell yeah. There's always room for improvement.

Basically with me what ya see is what you get. I'm not here to win awards or make people think I'm something that I'm not. I make business decisions based on what I see of you on the boards. I don't care if you're totally opposite in person - rather, my business doesn't care. In the end, we're all here to do biz and I don't want my business associated with someone who acts like a total prick/loser on the boards and could be a detriment to my biz by association.

Oh yeah. I've become a ChoicePoker addict, too. :thumbsup

I like pizza.

I like pussy.

I like eating pizza after getting some pussy.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah ahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahh ahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahaha hahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahah ahahahahahahha

the end

I am sam, sam I am, and I dont eat green eggs and ham.

I'm creative and intelligent but my biggest downfall is never achieving my full potential. I am capable of so much more but I always let the hum drum everyday crap take up most of my time preventing me from pursuing the things I should.

There are many instances where I should have explored opportunites but I didn't...for example..Couple years back I made a shitload of money writing (mainstream) and when that position ended you would think that I would continue on with it...nope...was too busy trying to pay the bills to take the time to get back into it...and I probably never will. There are a lot of instances where I have let things go which leads me to believe I am my own worst enemy.

I do have good points though, I don't screw people around, I'm faithful to my friends and family and I'm trustworthy. If you fuck me around, I don't get even, I consider it a lesson learned and go on. There just isn't room in my life for hatred, it takes up way too much energy. That doesn't mean I don't get pissed off though, that happens often.
