@Greg, absolutely man.

It's good to see you are doing something that you enjoy

I think that's what I meant to say as well in the original post.

Thanks

Life is important. We have to live life to the fullest. Balance our work and personal life. If we have kids, give time to them.

Thanks

That is very sound advise, I think working online can take a lot of time out of day, so making sure setting priorities is very important so one don't regret later in life....

Thanks

I totally agree. So many of us chose IM because we want to have more freedom, but then quickly become slaves to working all day. I did this for a while and realised that I just wasn't happy.

Thankfully I've greatly reduced my working hours now and am actually still doing very well. There is a belief that you need to work constantly to build a successful business, but that isn't true for me. You need to balance your work with things that enrich your life.

For me that means travelling, which I am about to set out on and feel so lucky that I have a career that lets me work from anywhere!

Thanks

I'm beginning to realise this as well (I'm not British, I just write that way). Between a full-time job, recently getting married, and IM, it's a tough balancing act to say the least. I find that concentrating on the one thing that I love to do the most (writing), and not dedicating the majority of my "free" time to just one thing, has reduced my stress level tremendously1

Very nice pic Justin

I agree 100% with you man. Living a better life and enjoy it is the reason why I came to the online world and tried to make it. But to live the current life is important as well. Because that's what we really have at the moment.

Best wishes man!
