Banks aren't going to give you 8%, but that's the average yearly increase when investing in the stock market. Nexo is also giving an 8% compounding interest.

Work-life balance is for people who work for others.
Ask who that's in their dead bed?
It's NOT about the money. That's the whole point.
It's about living to your maximum potential and building what you wanted to build.
Do you think Andrew Carnegie regreted his life on his deathbed and wished he'd just spent more time with family and friends? No. He didn'tIf he had any regrets it would be not being able to donate all his money to causes he wanted to donate to.
Andrew Carnegie gives you insight into the mind of a real entrepreneur.
Making enough money to "survive" is by very definition a pure fear mindset. People who are very successful are not interested in making money to survive.
It's about achieving your dreams. Whether that's to send a rocket into space, colonize mars or just simply see how much damn money you are capable of making, because it's a game.
That's what Andrew Carnegie did. The game of money. At the end of it all he gave as much of it away as he could. Do you think the world was worse off because of him? Not only did he revolutionize America, he donated so much money all over the place for the next generation, that the majority of it you wouldn't even know was because of him.
99.99% don't understand the mindsets of billionaires.
Do you think Elon Musk wants work life balance?
And in fact, what you find is most successful people when they retire, get damn bored. There's only so many rounds of golf you can play. Only so many beaches you can sit on and do these guys really want to be spending all their time with their grandkids?
The problem is, the vast majority of people who talk about work life balance have NO idea the joy you get from building your own company. From making real money. From seeing something through to fruitition. The power to create.
When you work some shit job with an asshole boss who drives you mad, then yes, you ABSOLUTELY need work life balance.
When you're a self employed small business owner, or someone with a handful of staff and porsche payments to make, then yes, you need work life balance, because your job is hard.
If your net worth is $50mil+ and you're running companies with over 50 employees, and growing year on year, then you do not need work life balance. You wake up in the morning, EVERY morning like a kid on christmas morning. I do most days. I fucking LOVE my business. I get so damn excited I find it hard to switch off. I get ultra bored watching movies and TV. I couldn't think of anything worse than sitting about watching movies all day and having balance. The thought of not being able to work for 14 hours+ a day, or as long as I want is PAINFUL. It's like pulling me out of the waterpark when I was kid.(Heck, it's like pulling me out of the water park now
Not everyone SHOULD be an entrepreneur.
Some people love to write.
Some love to paint.
Some love to code.
Some love to copywrite.
Some love to design logos.
You can certainly make good money doing something you love, but the core problem is 85% of the population is unhappy, and they think money will make them happy, and they think the way to get money is running a business.
The key to happiness is first, do what you love, then find out how to make more money doing what you love, and as you do that you find you don't actually need anywhere near as much money as you thought, because every day, you are doing what you ENJOY.
that's true man thanks for advice.
well done man

So am I not successful because (apart from the pandemic) I've not worked a Friday or Weekend for 15+ years?
If your business can't function without you then you don't have a business you have a job.
Totally understand what your saying I can't sit on my ass and do nothing I can't turn off either but I understand there is more to working than just sitting down in front of the computer screen for 14+ hours a day 7 days a week.

its seem to me you didnot enjoy the process, if u enjoy it you will not complain about it. I also agree with this man @WebTG that you should stick with your offline job first and learn about IM in your free time untill you have enough knowledge and skill to jump in the IM. Everybody on this forum are in learning mode because we learn in entire of our llife, keep practicing, keep learning and keep hoping untill you time will come.

Better spam dating offers on porn sites. There are tons of xxx sites with comments enabled. You can automate your posting with Browser Automation Studio - it's free and easy to learn. I made my first bot in one day. Promote also chaturbate revshare. Even when you get banned on facebook you can still make profits from previously referred customers - passive income for years. Revshare is always better than CPA in long term

It's not for you then and there's nothing wrong with it.
You can do well in life, achieve better positions at your job, etc. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur and it's not that easy as gurus are making it out to be, in fact, it's not easy at all.
I just don't get the point of this thread. Are you looking for a morale boost?
Cause if you're dead certain on quitting, it's a bit of a bitter act to discourage newbies who may have better ambitions, skill sets, etc. to get the life you've been dreaming of all along, don't you think?

I think you've misunderstood. I didn't say someone isn't successful because they don't work weekends.
I'm saying "work life balance" is for people who don't enjoy their job.
If you work 3 days a week and do something else the other 4 because that's how you choose to spend your time, then that's fine. That's not work life balance. That's just choosing how to spend your time.
Work life balance is needing other things to balance the pain of work, and there is no pain of work if you're doing something you at least like.
Developers generally like to code for 60 hours a week because it's their passion, providing they're in a job that is giving them a good work environment and interesting projects.
I am saying that people who are unhappy, and think money will solve their happiness, and thus think running a business will solve their happiness problem are the ones that talk about work life balance.
When you enjoy your work, your work is the same as your play. It feels the same. It's not stressful, and it doesn't drain you. It in fact energizes you. There are countless cases of people in their 80's who were fit and healthy, but as soon as they were forced to retire they died shortly after.
Work IS life.
Play is also life.
It doesn't matter if you want to work 20 hours a week or 120 hours a week. You can split up your time as you want.
But why is work different than play? As kids, work is play. Kids will build stuff. That's work. But it's also play.
Walking in the country is *work*. You are using energy, mental and physical. The only difference is it brings you joy.
This is the point I'm trying to make to people, that work IS play, therefore work life balance is irrelevant.
And work being play doesn't mean you have to do your work all day if you have other things you enjoy, but it means you CAN do it all day without needing something else to balance it.
The examples of Andrew Carnegie are not to say that anyone not like that is unsuccessful, but rather to show why people work those long hours, and it's not to "have enough money to survive" or to "be better than others", or to "be more happy", or "buy more things". It's because quite simply, the game of money was his play. His game.

IM was something I ALWAYS wanted to dive in. It´s something I like and I feel a great deal of passion for.
I live in Venezuela, a country with a shit ton of political, social and economical crisis I am sure you have watched or seen something on the news at any point. Funny, we have the biggest oil reserve in the world and we´re importing gasoline from Iran, pretty cool ah?
Also...
- We have the second to last worse internet connection in the world for both desktop and mobile devices.
- Minimum wage is $5 per month here
- Last 4-5 years we´ve suffered an electricity crisis never seen before in our country. Last year, we had 3 major blackouts of 110 hours, 68 hours, and 55 hours STRAIGHT!! After that, things have improved but we still suffer power shortages of couple of hours every other day.
- It´s very hard (and expensive) to find different brands for the same product, often you have to buy what you can find and that´s it.
It gave me access to resources I didn´t know existed that also helped me with my development.
I was able to access other high-value resources and download high-quality learning material from places like Udemy, Coursera, Lynda and other private paid courses I was able to download for free.
At the end of the last year, I wanted to create an account on Upwork but always got rejected. A guy here helped me with my application and got instant approval. This was around October, since then, I started building a small portfolio of SEO clients that have provided me with a constant flow of work and it´s growing.
Right now, I am expanding to affiliate marketing and building a couple of affiliate niche sites as well as promoting CPA offers.
Very exited for the next few months and, more confident than ever that 2021 will be a GREAT year for me!
I was like that 3-4 years ago when I dove into IM for the first time. I didn´t devoted as much time as you but started to experimenting the same feelings. This is the main reason why I didn´t started until last year when I decided it I was going to learn as much as possible the basics and fundamentals of SEO before doing anything and, it wasn´t until now that I am starting to see the results of that.
I don´t know what you´ve been doing this past 4 years nor have checked your sites but it´s hard to devote 4 years into IM and NOT make money. You most likely were doing something wrong.
Not by a mile!!
I don´t know about your personal financial situation nor your financial perspective on your country but for me it´s not even an option. Having the freedom to do what I want and to price my work how I want it´s just priceless.
God forbid I have to ever take a 9-5 job office again in my life!!
If you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me mate but, if you chose a different road, good luck!
We will ALWAYS be here for you

All I can tell you is that its perfectly normal to fail. We all have failed at one point or the other. What is not okay is to fail to realise that it is YOU that failed and not the tools you used. Sometimes, all you need is one small tweak or something radically different. In either case , you have to discover it. Just remember, failure or success, its in you.
...And talking about 80 Euros per month...its sad to even contemplate going back to this. Some here, myself inclusive, make that and more in just one sale.

Excellent job.
You proved that you have what it takes to succeed.
You have the thing that most do not and that cannot be taught.
Determination.
Junk Yard Dog determination.
When you get your teeth into something, you don't let go.
So you just need something new to chew on.
So visit www.Coursed.co and download some of those courses (they are all on Zippy) and learn something NEW. Alot of avoiding popups but no premium subscription crap.
So far you have just been playing with candy. "Dating Offers" is NOT A BUSINESS
Do what Russell Brunson says -
1) You need information (learning)
2) You need a SYSTEM that you can replicate
3) You need to take action
Want REAL MONEY?
1) Download 10 or 15 courses on creating an Agency
2) Incorporate the agency
3) Build up the agency
4) SELL THE AGENCY
5) Rinse and repeat
You can sell a business for 3 or 4 times the yearly income, all day long
Build it to $250,000. That is only $20K a month.
Sell for 1 million. As many times as you want.
Sincerely,
The Eye
