I am not totally sure I understand how internet business works. Most of you know how many hours and pain I put into growing DRN and really never made anything off of it. It was a hobby that turned into a business venture and now back down to a hobby again. Well this is what stumps me. I did work 20 hours a day 7 days per week trying to grow DRN into something profitable that I could do for the rest of my life but when it because painfully clear that would not work “Among other reasons” I had to back off and go drum up work to feed the kids elsewhere. Now my DRN vacation is coming to an end today, I go and check the revenue and had just about the best week ever as far as earnings from the website go. I am a bit lost at this. Dose this mean I should keep doing nothing? Perhaps stay on vacation for the next 20 years? Maybe if I go out of the country the profits will sore? LOL.
So now like I said this is the last day of the DRN vacation and I am so very lost as to what direction I want to go in with it. I heard a lot of good words from some great people which was nice but there were a few I was hoping to hear from that I did not so I am a little bummed out about that. Out of the 124 people that watched the video and the 22 people that read the blog post I only got about 17 peaces of feedback out of the 450 some od subscribers, 1K some od regular views and the just under 5K visitors since I posted the two which is kinda sad but oh well it is what it is.
I guess what it comes down to is I have some hard thinking to do today. I would love nothing more than to keep up my 20/7 schedule but just cant do it with other stuff going on. The good news is the future is looking a tiny bit brighter as far as business goes. My business still is not out of the dark but its looking a bit better each day so I am optimistic that things will work out albeit maybe with a few hiccups along the way. I have had a quote stuck in my head all morning. I woke up at 2:30AM and could not go back to sleep so I was computing on the netbook in bed watching CNN, the had an interview with Micheal J Fox about his Parkinson’s and he said
“If you only focus on the bad and it never happens, you wasted your time.
If you only focus on the bad and it dose happen then you live it twice.”
Lets try to live by those words today.
