...losing $10,000 on a adwords campaign when a affiliate cancled my account and never paid me on the proceeds

Kevin, the affiliate veterans here, including myself, have all been where you are now at some point in our respective careers. We have all gotten the shaft from an advertiser, and the money is always substantial. Just remember that you delivered because of your talent and you can do it again. Focus on what you do well, not on what didn't. You don't have to lose your condo. You have the talent to make $10k in two weeks, if needed, and you need it right now.

Write out your objectives and your plan of action, turn off the cell phone and other distractions and get to work and it will happen for you. This is how I got out of my situation, and I am sure others will have similar stories. You just have to change the negative self-talk into positive and then get the work done.

I wish you well on your return!
