How to get back in the Saddle-NEVER GIVE UP

It was Black Friday, waiting for Cyber Monday, i was set and then........... everything I had been working towards vanished. At least in my mind. This site was predominately set as shopping site for toys, however I also listed electronic gadgets on one page. This site was an affiliate site with Amazon as the major affiliate. A customer purchased 29K of the Echo Product. Amazon refused to pay the commission on it as they said I broke my agreement with them. They made a bunch of assumptions that were wrong, but when I tried to talk to them about it their reply was to cancel my affiliate account.

I tell you this brief background, there is more but i wont bore you, to let you know that I kind of gave up on my own business ideas, because I felt beat. They beat me and there was nothing I could do. So since that day I have done nothing, sat around feeling sorry for myself. Well no more. I am here to tell you I am back in the saddle, so watch out world!!!!
