My story... I was doing affiliate marketing for a year and a half. I went into a seperate internet business with a guy I knew. After nearly 6 months he ended up stealing all of my websites, my company, liquidating my bank accounts, etc.

I had to take him to court over it, during the court proceedings the sites were down and lost all search engine rankings. I basically had to start from scratch after regaining ownership of the websites.

Never at one time did I even consider the possibility of getting a real job. To me with a real job there's no incentive or motivation to work hard. The people i know are happy to get a raise of 50 cents after a years work... so they earn $7.50 an hour versus $7.00... not exactly what i look for. It's not going to buy me my one way ticket out of this country.
