Resolutions? Goals & Objectives?

[Nickatilynx]

Oh dear..... ( beware..totally cunty post to follow)

umm...

So why is it that the old term "if you can't do , teach" is turning into "if you can't do , consult or manage"?

So , in what area or field shall I get you to consult to me?

If its grunt work I need , I'll give Ant or Serge a call and get forests number , bell him and have it outsourced.

If its top level stuff...I probably already have it in house.

Or I will have to pay all the money from a consultant with REAL PROVABLE credentials and frankly if he is that good , he doesn't need to consult , and if he isn't that good , I don't want him.

For example anyone that offers to consult to me on SE's I know is not that good or is a scammer.

Think of it logically. Why would a good SE expert want or need to consult? If he is that good he would already be making a mint directly.


Sorry to always be the contrary/cunty one on this board these days , (except Vick lol) but in all seriousness as the internet porn business becomes less and less profitable I watch people struggle to get there envisaged peice of the pie , whereas imho most could probably earn more in a real world job now.

Seriously......

I know for a fact that many many people in this business are $1000 away from being homeless ....

I speak to people that think one day they will be "playas" yet really don't know traffic (se , mail or directing), content , marketing or tech at fucking all

I speak to people that think being thought a big name poster on GFY will pay the bills (it doesn't really and is getting harder everyday to even make a living as a board whore)

Seriously , imho , this buisiness is becoming more and more filled with people who really don't get how this game is played and never ever will.

(Ryan you did once , you lucked in like I did and left.I honestly think I'm the only one who has been able to make a fortune in this game , piss it away , and rebuild.Most try a comeback and fail , miserably)

The ones that are left?

They have lucked into a good job with a company

They are here because through , illness , infirmaty or other "flaw" or misfortune this is there only alternative.

Or because there only other career choice is MickyD's and they can just earn more here and can at least sit in their underwear all day

Or because they are into the lifestyle....

(/end rant...for now)

;-)))

Nick I agree with EVERYTHING you said..

I won't hide behind the fact that I haven't been successful at any of the attempts I have made to get back into the business. Every single time I failed, it was because I couldn't get the traffic or I didn't have the money to develop the project as it needed to be.

When I was thriving and idiotically threw away a thriving business I STILL SUCKED at getting traffic, it was the stuff in the backend and talking others into sending me traffic that kept me sucessfull until I gave up because things got too hard (Yeah I was being a little baby bitch, if I could tell the 5 year ago ryan that I'd be good).

I still have alot of great ideas, and I think I could consult in alot of areas.. Time will tell. I don't proclaim I know everything - what I will say is I know a litle bit about everything, and a good amount about certain things.. But unfortunately the most important part of an internet business - generating traffic - I completely suck at... and Yes, I will always be honest about that even to potential clients in the future.

If I could find a job where I fit in the right way, and both me and the employer agreed... If it paid well enough with opportunities for advance in payment etc.. I would take it.

Chances and Odds are I will end up doing carpenty and sub contracting out in 6 years when I get my license earning 60-70K driving my own van and doing my own sub contract work.. Not the life I want, but very well could be what I end up doing...

Thanks Nick, I am yet to meet one person who told me "You can't do it!", but then again who would really say that? lol ... Not a soul, everyone will always say motivational things.

We'll see how it goes... Couple months should give me a good enough of an idea
