The key, I find, is to maintain a sense of humor about one's lack of success. You need to be able to laugh along while Dr. B, GG, and your own wife mock your inability to make a dollar even though you spend 16 hours per day in front of a computer.
I blame much of my own net poverty on the fact that I was never patient enough to let anything simmer in its juices. I'd build the site, see that there wasn't any traffic, and change it to something else. (WW has been a TGP on at least three separate occasions, a paysite, a massive free site, and a variety of other nondescript sites.) I dream of the day that I own something worth selling.
We weren't talking about me, were we? Shit, I did it again.
