Thanks for this.
Good point as I think the majority of people in IM, or just starting IM like myself, have very few if any supporters. I've just gotten used to all the BS they are spitting at me now.

^^ I hate it when the people I outsource work to don't deliver what they promise mate, I can do a chargeback and win it or loose it, but I loose time and I need to take an effort to find another guy who would do the job right, and Im loosing time when I could do something productive myself. What would you recommend? How do I pick good freelancers?

Thanks for the great post! I'm just getting started... so this helps a lot! I hope that in a year or two, I too can write my own 1000 post, sharing my failures, and success too.

Wow, for some reason I thought this was just me.
Great motivation. Keeps everyone striving.
This thread has been really inspirational. Right now I can say I'm moving up in my career as a IM. I mean I'm still at a low point. But I truly feel like things are getting better. I have two sites made. One is adsense site. The other is clickbank based site with no ads, and is based solely off list building.
Right now I no job and college dept. So i can understand why everyone I know is hounding me.
But on the brighter site I'm ranking #50 for a keyword with a little over 1'000 views a month and at this moment, I no backlinks. I feel this is a good sigh that the money is coming soon. I'm just building my sb list and i'm going to do slow steady blast at a maintainable velocity with low obl links.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this post. The advice was good but the motivation/inspiration was even better. I know longer feel like I can do this. I know I can do this. Thanks.

Great post, I think I'll print it since in this period I was thinking to write some sort of "manifesto" on IM Lifestyle for personal use (I'm the kind of guy who needs to have things remembered right in his face when downward periods start), and Meathead basically already did the job for me
Any updates from the author almost two years later?
