I'm in my tunnel, I know there's a light.....
Sure I have patience. I just don't have time for patience. I've made my first penny with www.bethseverything.com and have gone on to my first $3. Is there more to be made? $3 in a month. Who would have ever thought I would be excited over $3.
In my little optimistic mind, I am on the road to something great. We're talking $10,000 a month great. It is unfortunate that I can't see this though full time and stop seeking work. It will just take too long a decent amount of revenue to start coming in. I'm down to my last $12 and praying that Federal UI will be renewed before I have to cash my 401K
I should be OK for about a year after cashing out my retirement. That's about how long, I hear, it could take to begin to be able to live off my Internet income. But still. Cashing out my 401K is a little nerve wrecking.
If my life were happening on paper, I shouldn't be nervous to cash out my retirement. After all, I should be making enough money (in the long-run) to replace what I am cashing out. But, I'm me and I don't want to cash it out.
The pessimist in me reminds me that I'm still in the hole with my new business. I'm paying for monthly subscriptions out of my own pocket. I remind myself that many don't succeed in the blogging/niche world. Will I be able to succeed where others haven't?
I really don't want to look for another job. I want to continue to develop my website and possbily begin freelance blogging and writing. Wouldn't that be the life? Writing for a living!
Anyone have a crystal ball I could use?

You hang in there and keep doin' what you believe in, if that is writing, pour your soul into it and don't look back, girl, don't look back, things get scariest and darkest before the sun bursts through the clouds, and while that may sound oversimplified, what else do we have to look forward to in life?....What might have been, had we taken a chance?......Been there and done that too many times and am done with it....
Stay positive. The attitude you set in your mind will overflow into reality. I know you can be successful and I know that $3 will flourish. You have to know that as well, and truly believe it. What we think manifests in our daily lives. You can do this!
You have tasted the results of your hard labor, now let it flow in for you while you work on your articles and simply enjoy writing! I loaned out my crystal ball, I will get it to you as soon as I get it back!
I remember when you asked for your first dime and now you got 30 of them. Keep going you're on your way. I'm really excited for you. I know you can do it, I have faith in you. Congrats and wish you lots more success.
Hi 1MR
If it makes you happy, and you wake up every day looking forward to your writing, Why would you not succeed. Success is what you make it and the money part is already with you. Everybody has some value to give, so don't think you have read the truth, "the whole truth and nothing but the truth" :o))
Keep dreaming & working those same dreams Beth... It is scary turning your back on 'the race of the rats', and certainly not everyone should walk away from that game. And, also, we all need to pay our bills (or so I keep hearing - getting mailed etc). Just remember, your harvest from the dedicated work you are doing on a product/service 'you' own (as in domain), will have an exponential harvest, even if that seems a long way off . Keep up the good work, everybody has a rocky road on this journey (at least I have been) ~ you are swimming against the tide... All the best & put on some solid flippers ;)
My insight says you are a winner - done great and are on your way to much greater things still!
Godspeed!
