I would suggest that you plan on giving up your hobbies until you reach your goals. Your new hobbies will be reading boards, studing traffic sources, graphics, learning new software, asking questions and trying new things.

Before you get started get rid of all distractions so that your mind is clear. That means if you have some financial issues that are distracting you, find a way to put them on hold. That hot babe/guy you want to date, make them part of your life now or forget about her. Friends that interfere with your day, block them out for a little while. Anything that takes you away for more then a day should be forgotten.

Once you're mentally and emotionally ready to work your ass off to reach your goals, then you can do it. Until then you're wasting your time.

When you start, wake up everry morninf and review what you did and learned the day before. Then make a "To Do" list. Review that list a few times a day and when you finish work for the day.

Stay organised, stay focused and you just might be able to do it. Keep us posted.

Be willing to give up your life. Think thats what you were saying...

And it's accurate and correct. The more you do, the more you will want to do, and the more you will realize that that what you did yesterday was inadequate.

And that's the good news!

Very true. I spend over 100 hours a week on the computer, and occasionally speak to webmasters who consider that a slow week.

|shocking|Yikes! When do you find time to live, or time to spend all the money you must be making?

That was the reason I sold my last (non-internet) business: my income was increasing, but at the same time my lifestyle was seriously eroding! At the end I had hardly any friends left because I was known as "the guy who's always working and never has time for us"...

I'm off to the coffee shop now: meeting friends for Sunday brunch - there has to be some time for that!!

"When do you find time to live" by cutting down on the time I sleep. I try to get no more than 5 hours a night, and not go to bed every night (as the man said "I'll sleep when I'm dead"). Also I work while I eat, so I don't have to allow time for food.

But actually 100 hours a week is cutting down. A few years ago I used to have a "real" job as well. I'd get up about 6, do a couple of hours work on the computer. Leave for the day job about 8.20, get home about 6 ish with a take away, and most evenings work on the computer till about 1AM, then 5 hours sleep and repeat.

And the worst was when I was manager of a video store in an extremely rough area, and we could not keep staff due to violence against them, so often had to run the shop alone. At times I was working 13 hour days, 7 days a week at the shop (with no breaks), and still coming home (about 11.30pm) and putting a few hours in on the computer.

But I was a lazy kid, so I guess I am just putting in the time now that I did not put in as a kid, it all evens out.
