I need a mentor.....

I have been trying to make this business work for some time now, that is the reason why I still call myself a newbie. I really am not a noob, I know almost everything there is to know about this business, but still cant seem to get anything going here. I know how to do SEO, backlinks, Article Marketing, Adwords, etc. Just cant seem to profit doing it!

I quit my teaching job two years ago to follow a dream, a dream of being an entrepreneur. I opened up a mortgage company right at the beginning of a really bad economic turn. I switched to real estate investing and flipped some houses in Ohio, and Tennessee, sold them to people in California and made myself a little money. Soon, everyone stopped investing out of state due to the financial crisis..... ok, so now what?

I had some money that I had made and decided that I would take a crack at making a living online. Well, here I am 8 months later and I feel that I still cannot get anything going that would really help me and my family.

I am under so much stress to get things figured out here, I think my vision gets blurred and cant seem to concentrate on any one thing, I have become more desperate, and that is not helping me. That is why I need a mentor. I need someone to keep my a$$ in gear and keep me focused and assure me that what I do every day will pay off.

I am at a point where I need to either get a job really soon or start bringing in some cash online. The humility of losing my house and having to move my family in with my in-laws is draining on me, and yes, I know I am not the only one losing my house, but this feeling is not a good one.

I sometimes regret my decision to leave teaching, I had a good JOB, that paid the bills, but it was not what I wanted to do with my life. I couldnt show my kids that we would have to live a life of tight budgets and mediocrity, but now I have put their lives at risk.

Wow, I am really spilling my guts here... Sorry for that! I know I just need someone to slap me and say "Snap out of it!" I have PM'd many of you on this forum, some have given good advice, and some seem to be bothered.

Anyway, the need for a mentor was my purpose for writing. I would appreciate any thoughts of encouragement, and prayer! Thanks Warrior Forum for lending an ear, just had to vent!
