        I kind of do something similar. I have a whiteboard near my bed. I wake up with an idea.. scribble it on the board and then keep awake for a few more hours while I fine tune the whole thing.

    Michael,
    Had to comment on your sig file...very interesting call to action LMAO

    When you open your laptop in the morning and your children ask if you made any sales in your sleep. LOL

    When your children are asked what you do for a living and they respond, play on the computer all day.

    When the kids ALWAYS volunteer you for feild trips and class activities with school, because mommy doesn't work LOL.

    Or when your kids ask if your computer put more money in the bank yet because theres a new toy on TV they want.

    When your husband who has NO clue about IM starts giving you ideas for your "sales funnel" LOL

    I could go on forever...

      Memories Been there done that. I was always looking for something, don't know why, software after software, ebook after ebook, product after product, without getting to finish checking everything and implement.

      That strategy made me earn a good wage of $zero, zero cents!

      I changed that approach, I became organized and lol, behold I was earning MONEY!

      Stop wasting time looking for new methods, you are just looking for excuses to fail! You just don't want to succeed!

      This reminded me of when I fell down the stairs once when carrying my daughter, who was three months old at the time. I arrived at the bottom looking like I'd been trodden on by a cart horse, holding her aloft (completely unscathed) as though she were a World Cup trophy. It's something that just quickly kicks in automatically for mothers, but I've never heard of anyone harbouring maternal instincts for a laptop before

      You know you're addicted to internet marketing when you wake from a dream that's totally unrelated to IM and realise that it had big black bars down each side because your brain had made a 4:3 video of it and it was showing in a widescreen player. This one happened to me a couple of days ago - I'm clearly a lost cause

    ...when you have learned how to sleep in your recliner in the spare room with the laptop on your lap all night so even if you wake up for a moment you will be able to complete a few tasks.

    (For those who would like to copy me, it's easy. To keep the laptop from falling all you have to do is roll up a towel and place it behind the laptop to keep it from sliding off while you're sleeping)

    ----------

    ...when your legs fell funny when you're driving because the weight of the laptop isn't there.

    ----------

    ...when you honestly aren't sure what day it is more often than not.

    ----------

    ...when the best recent coversation you've had with your spouse is chatting over Facebook.

    ----------

    ...when you don't do well playing along with The Price Is Right because their prices don't always end with a 7.

    ----------

    ...when you know you could easily come up with tons of other examples to show you're addicted to IM, but realize that you really should get some work done.

        Yep. I know 3 of my neighbors a little bit, and I've lived in my current home for 7 1/2 years. And this is a quiet, family neighborhood in a small town. I don't know all of their last names, have had maybe 4 hours "face time" with all of them combined in that time, know where only one of them works, and so on. Yet...

        I could tell you many details about a dozen or so people from around the world - when they were born, marital status, children's names and ages, what their dreams are, what they do to earn money, what they think about different issues, what they used to do for a living, what they like to eat, what makes them laugh, what movies and music they like, and the list goes on.

        Is that sad? To anybody that's not in IM it's sad, but to us it's normal (and kind of cool)!

        All the best,
        Michael

      That has to be one of the funniest I've read on this thread... absolutely. I had an unexpected outburst (loud) in a very quiet setting. That was embarrassing... but very worth it!

      What!?!

      Get a laptop and check stats while the show is on. Commercials are for learning new ways to sell, or add to your swipe file.

        Or, you know you're addicted to IM when you don't care that the wife is sleeping on the couch because it gives you more elbow room when using your laptop in bed.

      I know, right!! That has gotten to be fun.

      You know you are addicted to internet marketing when your head is so far in the computer that your 6 year old is reading your notes out loud and you say "do you really want me to show you how to do that" actually thinking for that moment that she is speaking freely of niche sites and article marketing. She thought the word was "nice sites" LOL. **very true story**
