ah hello @DotMel i recall chatting with you a bit over a year ago! yes, yes i have. i lost everything from a drug addiction, which exasperated my bipolar. it took years to recover and get clean, then some more to get back on my feet and back into making money on the internet. i agree with what others have said - it sounds like your old job plain sucked and that your boss was an asshole, you weren't even being paid for all of your work! don't beat yourself up over quitting that. keep your head up, no spiraling for you, i trust you will find something else that will fit you a bit better - and treat you right too

Thank you so much. It's so nice to hear from someone who succeeded with mental health issues, like me.

You're not a loser — you’re just in the middle of your journey. Many successful people failed multiple times before things clicked, so keep pushing forward.

Get a better job and do IM on the side. It takes years to make significant money from IM. It's better to have a stable income from a job and try affiliate marketing on the weekends. Think about your retirement. You need to save for it. Most of us will not become millionaires...

Hello! I’ve had several experiences where I quit jobs to venture into different commercial areas of the market. Looking back, I believe what I lacked was proper research into something that could actually bring me greater financial results.I couldn't stand the pressure so I left, once again.
Over the last few years, I was trying hard to keep a job. I got good feedback from bosses, but never been able to keep a job.
I really just want to success, offline or online. I'm sick of being a loser.
Anyone here got some hard times but then was successful?
Thank you
From my experience, I can tell you it’s better to seek out a truly reliable source to understand what the current market trends are, something you can develop without compromising your moral values and that requires a lower investment, but can deliver significant, sustainable results.
For example, what are the most common needs people are currently searching for solutions to? Then, start working toward solving those problems in a simple way, and do it on a larger scale, progressing gradually and step by step with each achievement.
Good luck!

Good luck with your life, and don't listen to those above trying to compare the pressure of someone working on their own venture to enslaving yourself for +12 hours a day to make someone else's rich, that's the same bullshit the HR departements of these shitty companies push always.

I used to make a living online, but got tempted by a the stability and high wages of a 9-to-5. After the better part of a decade there, I quick last year and I'm still feeling great about it while working on some ambitious projects while I can still afford it.
Keep at it and good luck! There's a lot of money to be made by the right people at the right place now as now is the right time

i think it boils down to what you mean by "pressure" because this can be taken in different ways......
but for the most part, if you are quiting working for someone else because of "pressure" most people wont be successful working for themselves. there is more pressure in that but like i said before, it really makes a difference in what you mean EXACTLY by "pressure"
there is no fulfillment in anything without adversity and "pressure" and making mistakes and learning from them. without fulfillment, how is one supposed to be happy?
for me, i went from job to job to job. i went to college and failed half my classes. then i started working for myself and was VERY succesful. i figured out what i shouldn't be doing even though society dictates that was the roadmap to success. i found my weaknesses which it then allowed me to disregard those to find my strengths and focus on THEM which lead me to where i am at today. i had to figure shit out on my own and alone and took me a while with A LOT of mistakes, but that adversity and pressure over time was worth it in the long run. in the short run, it was hell.
i think the secret is just finding something you are passionate about and something you consider more like a hobby and make a business out of it. for me, i found that i was very business oriented. i like the markets and i also liked helping people. so i just tried to combine everything i was naturally good at and could be passionate about naturally, things i would already be doing on a hobby level and i just focused on those things trying to make a business out of my natural strengths and natural interests
i also learned over time to look at life as a game. i LOVE games. i LOVE winning and HATE losing! i am very competitive when it comes to games from darts to pool to board and card games. so i just started looking at life like a game where in any game, you have to go with the odds in making the best choices for yourself in any situation to win that game. that took away a lot of the stuggles and adversitites i was having just by changing my perspective and looking at life as a game and not just a struggle. it helped me think outside of the box and helped me envision things before other people which helped me stay ahead of the game of my competition.
i find when i am helping others, people want things FAST and QUICK and they lack the mindset that will help them become successful in life in the long term. i used to be one of those people and i was a dreamer. fast and quick will lead you to failure faster than anything else and being a dreamer will leave you on a merry go round of LIMBO because dreamers are not action takers and they are normally afraid of failing and they never finish what they start.
so like i said before, it really all boils down to what you mean by "pressure". because life in general will have a lot more pressure than any 1 job working for someone else and if people are just using "pressure" as an excuse to quit with no other rational explaination to quit then they aren't just quiting their job, they are quiting on their life. and once we start making those excuses to quit, it becomes easier and eaiser to make those same excuses in the future NOT to become successful. obviously quitting anything is not the recipe for success and people really need to know the full consequences of their choices in the long term(not just the short term).
i also found in life that sometimes it's not about what we want to do, but what we NEED to do. this is especially important when we know what we need to work on within ourselves by the mistakes we make and make the choice to push ourselves outside our comfort zone.
whenever i am facing adversities and hard times, i focus all my attention on what i need to learn from it. people tend to be surfacy while i tend to be a very deep thinker which allows me to be more objective when trying to go through self realizations and self awareness. i ask myself why i am going through certain things and phases in my life that seem so difficult and then once i find the problems, i try to focus all my attention on being solution based. this is the only way i will win this game of life that was such a struggle for me in the past.
at the end of the day, mindset is the key to life and how we look at a situation. you can be doing everything right, but with the wrong mindset, a person is going to fail EVERY SINGLE TIME until they actually learn from their experiences with the right mindset.....

Hey, any job that puts you under pressure ain't a job that you should be doing, life is hard enough as it is. As for turning things around and being a success, it depends on what you consider success. I know that is not the answer you are looking for but its the truth. My perception of success is going to be different to yours and everyone else's.I couldn't stand the pressure so I left, once again.
Over the last few years, I was trying hard to keep a job. I got good feedback from bosses, but never been able to keep a job.
I really just want to success, offline or online. I'm sick of being a loser.
Anyone here got some hard times but then was successful?
Thank you
I wish you well in your endeavours and if you thank the Lord every day, I believe you will become not only better, but also appreciate what your successes you have achieved already that you can grow upon. Xx

Hello my friend. How are you?
Well, I had a problem in January where I clashed with management and ended up getting fired. I had a great position.
Since then, I've been a little down and decided to start something online. It was a long few months stuck in front of a computer. I managed to start a business and I'm getting it up and running now. I'm going back to work at another company tomorrow.
What I've been thinking a lot about during this time and would like to share with you is this: when we're at rock bottom, bro, we have one advantage: we can't sink any deeper. We can only rise.
And you know that saying: after the storm comes the calm? Well, eventually it arrives. Lift your head and keep going, bro.

Pressure is a privilege!
The only way to not quit , is not quitting.
There are many problems and things to solve but those are just to prove you that you are doing the right thing and more important that you really want that.
The word easy is just a word, stay in what you want to achieve and focus on that, the final streak is the badest and the most difficult depends on what you are doing, but then come the achievements.
Currently I've been going through that, and I was definitely doing the right thing but not in the right place.
And that’s another thing , be smart enough to realize what your place is.
And, don’t quit!
