Dark thoughts...

You should seek the uncomfortable, get your blood pumping with something new or something simple like @macdonjo3 said like going to the gym and you will appreciate life in no time.

That's life mate. I made over 200K this year, and yet i have no salary because i reinvest almost everything to get more results this year, and next year. It's all about perspective, put your focus on enjoying the process to your end goal and make it a BIG one. That way you stay motivated even though you don't feel the instant gratification of your work. Try to find a project that could have some SERIOUS impact on your life instead of doing uninspirational work like e-mailing. And RULE NR 1: TAKE responsability for your 'dark' feelings, it's not weird to feel like this, but there is only 1 person that will and can change this and that is YOU.

''if I had 5-10k/month I would have started to finally do this passion but now I can't, not with amount I make.'' THEN create something that DOES, excuses are doing nothing for you and only create more of these dark feelings that you do not want to have. I tell you, once you take responsability for your feelings and stop making excuses for yourself life will become much easier.

Common man, at least you allready made some money. Time to focus on something big or get GOOD at something that will make you more money, whining on a forum isn't gonna get you anywhere.

Good luck man and go get em!

Shake things up a bit. Unless you do top secret stuff, in this day and age you can surely bring your work with you to anywhere using a lightweight notebook or tablet. Go to a cafe, to a park etc., so it's not the same shit every day. Get some mobile broadband plan, those are fast enough and cheap enough nowadays, so you aren't restricted to (free) wifi.

Totally!

@Seagate44 Not sure if this applies to you, but to reach the next step you need to be able to look for opportunities and wait for the right opportunity. When I started out in IM my first projects were Instagram spamming and Porn-Reuploading, which gave me good results as someone new to the whole online internet marketing world around 2016. Nowadays I mainly work in e-commerce and local business. But to do that jump from one level to the next you need to be open. If you work on the same things every day (which I would say turned into a job) you might have hit a spot of no further progress. To overcome this stall of progression I highly recommend saving as much up as possible from your existing revenue and then make a big step away from it by either outsourcing (local or remote) or dropping it for the sake of progress. This helped me to overcome most of the "levels" of income to achieve greater things then I achieved before.

Also, I think it is one of the main reasons why it is easier to make money when you have money. The pressure off your back, not standing against a wall and being able to wait out until opportunities expose themself. To understand that and to put yourself into such a position from nothing (starting without money) is not an easy task. Especially because it means in the early stages to cut down your liabilities and lower your living standards. This way you can overcome the initial struggles if there is no new business or existing business dies off. Which will happen sooner or later to any business, right?

Definitely what I think, too, and what I'm doing, too. Meaning I still have a room for progress, I think I will hit 5k very soon and the plan is to save much then re-invest in something that has "higher entrance" level (meaning you need more money to start it so the competition will be smaller - of course it doesn't work every time, but that's what I try to do/find to run a business with bigger "longetivity" - so that applies to the second part of your message that every business would eventually stop be that profitable). Thank you for your post. Could you tell more about your e-commerce/local business - or maybe you already have My Journey?

You are right mate, as I said, I'm not complaining, I just had those dark thoughts that I wanted to share & help myself by reading posts like this. Thanks to you all.

Thank you. Yes we already set a date of our trip to far away. I think I just gotta go outside and fill batteries up! Need to spend more time doing things with other people. Then I come back to home filled with energy, ready to work!

That's the spirit! Hopefully, after travelling you could share your experience here and how it "cured" what you felt recently.

Glad to know that other members are also giving you some positive advise. After all, we are your BHW family.

Sure! Thank you.
 
You are probably displacing all the other things wrong with your life by focusing on getting more money.

"If I had more money my x problem would be solved."
 
Don't cling to that age factor. It's just hormones running crazy. Most travellers are in 25-35 age group, above those mid 20's. As for your income, you could definitely spice it up, seeing as how you are in the profits already.

Increase your exposure, sell more expensive products or whatever it is that you are selling, work more efficiently. To me it seems like you are not really following a plan.

Money is not my goal, but I need it to follow the main goal!

Kids? Dude you are complaining about finances and think kids might be the solution... come on

Probably you say that because you don't have any.
You will see your life differently once you have kids.

I'm sure you will. Grumpy wife, bratty kids, mortgage. Sounds nice. An American dream.
 
Dude, you're so young. Don't even worry.
I had dark thoughts here and there and was down drowning in student debt, other stupid debts 10 yrs ago. I'm glad I discovered E-commerce, IM and like one of our peers said here, re-invest in yourself. Read, apply, try different stuff but mostly....NETWORK, offer your services, test, fail, test fail, succeed, learn, fail.
Having multiple streams of income will change your life but you need to absolutely change your mindset.
I wish I was your age again lol
It's time for you to take risks and enjoy your life.
And it's normal in your mid 20s to want to show off or spend money stupidly on material.
My recommendation, don't....be humble and you'll see....You're 30s, 40s will be glorious
 
Don't be discouraged by this routine, it's just some discipline. You're probably sick of doing it over and over again. There are even programmers in Europe who don't make that amount of money (and they're squeezing their brains).
I'm also in your situation but I make less/month, so things could be worse man. Everyone has it's own "speed" for life
 
So I had to wait 10 years to finally have naked strippers and an interior pool.:devil:
 
Sleepless nights and working like crazy helps us make a fortune but sometimes we mess up with our health and peace of mind too.
