    I enjoyed reading your story Justin. It reminded me of what I went through 5 years ago when I was having trouble getting work after the previous job I had was dissolved. I ended up seeing an opportunity to work with a couple software developers, providing them with marketing services for their software products. It took me a lot of hard work and long hours but I turned it into a successful stream of income that paid my bills for the last 5 years and has given me a chance now to take a long break and spend some time looking down other avenues of opportunity.

    For me, every day is a learning experience on the ever-changing Internet and in the world of e-marketing. It is rare that I get bored with doing this, unlike the list of boring and stagnant jobs that I had in the past, and that is one of the biggest things that keeps me driven and determined.

    You definitely sound like you have the drive and a bit of experience under your belt that could take you to a great place in the future. I hope you enjoy your upcoming experience with making money online and I wish you the best of luck!

    Not this particular member but in general. :)

    Ha.

    I wasn't "laid" "laid" off, but I was going to be. So I figured I'd beat them to the punch. There was no work available for almost 3 months. 1 entire month without working means your supposed to get laid off.

    Thank you so much, and i'll see you around the forums :p

    So are you planning to sell motivational ebooks or such?

    Or some blueprint to earn money?

    time will tell... whether we are being worked or not.assuming we are not though, i appreciate the guts and "foolhardiness" of the decision.however, i'm also a firm believer in doing things you love and believe in, and doing them the right way.so i know if you keep at it and give it what it requires, you'll be successful.all the best.
