Don't neglect your family (for AM or for a 9-5). Take time to relax. You'll work much better if you're well rested.

For one of my sites, it's not just about, or even mainly about, making money. It promotes a "cause", something I set aside as a younger person and now, in my mid life crisis, feel compelled to promote.

It helps that another family member has decided on this "cause" as the focus of his/her future life.

For the first year I was doing this, I gave no thought to affiliate marketing or serious e-commerce and was guided by a naive "business model" based on a lot of fantasy and wishful thinking.

For the second year I was doing this, I did it half-heartedly. I paid some attention to AM and e-commerce but really didn't have a clue.

Now that I have a clue--heck, more clues than I can handle--I'm making up for lost time. I don't mind working hard. I can relax later.

Warning: Bit of a rant - not necessarily directed at berto, but just other thoughts about this whole thing

Hey, we think alike--about our personal situations. I prefer this life/workstyle, hate the thought of the 9-5 daily grind, no less than you do.

But if other people say they are happy in their work, whatever form that takes, who am I to judge or question them?
