You can try other things online. If you still see no success, continue with job. You can see good growth there also and live a happy life. Majority takes the same route only.
Thinking about giving up...

I agree. Majority takes the same route because:
1) They DON'T want to take any risk.
2) They want to live a smooth and less worrying life.
3) They DON'T want to take any stress involved with entrepreneurship.
4) They just want to go to the office at 10 or 11 and come back evening and have tea/coffee and some TV and then dinner, sleep and the same thing tomorrow morning.
5) They are completely happy and satisfied with their limited earning potential and say MONEY is NOT everything in life and I say - " K " to them lol
Risk = Business = Money.
More Risk = More Business = More Money.
But the majority of the people are just happy and looks for the 1 single thing to give up. They are just not persistent and dedicated.

Buddy, what you have to do is you have to find a job that your passionate about. I talk about the job that is bringing tears to your eyes just thinking about it. Sure it's good to do something "on the side" while you are working to archive your biggest dreams and goals in life, but think about.
If you find the right job for you, then working will never be "working" again. It's just something that you do because you like it. So forget all the bullshit dropshipping and fb ads if it's not something that you wanna do your whole life. Get a job that covers the costs and expenses and find your passion. You only have a limited time on this planet, why waste your time when you are miserable in a job that you don't like? The purpose of life is to enjoy it, and the only way you can enjoy life is when you go for what you want.
tl;dr - Find your passion, do a sidejob to cover your expenses until you can make a decent amount with your passion.

First, thank you all. These past weeks have been difficult in a lot of aspects and I felt down. I love doing IM, almost every business I created was in IM, so I enjoy doing it, just when you don't see results it's like... fuck.
Thank you, mate. That's what I need to do. Keep doing things, at the end, that's what life is for
Yes, I totally agree with you. Taking risks and failures is what get me here in the first place, in a comfortable position among almost everyone I know. I just have to stay hungry.
Thank you, mate. Much success for you too!
Yes, it's not my main goal, but being honest money is as necessary as air, and when you expend a lot in something that doesn't work it feels like someone choking you. And that's my whole problem, choosing between comfort and happiness. If you present it like that, seems like happiness is of course the right choice, but it's not that easy.
I know I know haha, my total expenses in projects through these years are around $50.000 but even today, wasting $1 in something that doesn't work hurts me.
You are totally right.
But sometimes you need someone to tell you, of course you can, is not going to be easy but you can. At least I need that sometimes.
Yes, that's the problem haha I love IM, I like working on it, but it seems that I have more success in other areas.
THANK YOU ALL, I will keep working.

Letting a bunch of people know you want to give up is proof in itself you aren't actually
ready to give up. In fact, you're just looking for people to tell you not too!
Don't give up. There. Now get back to it, man!

Haha, I was expecting someone to tell me:
- Hey man, I do dropshipping, I make a good living from it, so it's possible. And I'm not selling a fucking course.
Every business is presented as you can make a bunch of money in the short term, and usually is not like that.
Thank you!

I can tell you that dozens of people on this very forum live where they want to (I've met them in person.) , set their own hours, and are directly
benefiting from one of many online companies. They also worked their arses off initially to learn how it can really work.
You're right in that climbing a mountain takes, climbing. There's no ski lifts.
A lot of people who have success quick will lose it because they never developed the right frame of mind to handle it. I've
seen that play out too. Methods don't make people rich. The individual is what makes the method. Most of it works as long
as the person behind it has the right frame of mind.

The norm is that internet is only a backed up for your daily and extra expenses so a stable offline job or a professional job can help beat your financial needs. If you want to be successful on internet you can start on a small scale then you can form large I.T. team for a definite success later soon.

Why do you guys have to open threads like this for validation? I feel like there's at least once every week, all with posters waiting for a reply like this.
Stop chasing instant gratification. Your journey thread you posted about making $1,000,000 in 2018 with no IM knowledge and buying a Bentley at $10k monthly revenue (it's really not that much after taxes). Sure, you might get lucky and hit a great campaign your first few months in, but that's highly unrealistic. Once you realized it isn't as easy as you imagined, you're already about to throw in the towel.

You will not reach one million bucks by doing what everyone else is doing. Forget all the YouTubers and "Gurus" which are showing off with their sales or their nice apartments. Mostly it is fake. Nobody who runs a successful business model or online shop will tell millions of strangers how it works and what to do. Think outside the fucking box. Don't be the guy opening the average online shop on Shopify doing dropshipping and then run FB ads, be the guy who sells ready-made online shops on Shopify with the dropshipping model to people who have no knowledge about eCommerce, sales or even how to dropshipping works.

Actually.. it's the other way around - in IM you will struggle and don't know when then money will come. Why people go to a regular job is the exact opposite - you have a stable income that covers your expenses. Sure you don't live luxuriously but you have the peace of mind that you will be fed the next month (unless you get paid too little to get by - that is another story).

He means that if you work for yourself you know (usually) that if you work X hours, you get Y money, or at least, usually as well, the more you work the more you earn.
If you work for somebody else you can get fired, the company can close, etc.
As some people say, it's a horrible decision to depend on just one income and more if it's not in your hands.

In my humble opinion, I think that a change of perspective is in order. Instead of focussing on what you don't have and what isn't quite working for you, maybe try to move your focus towards the positive aspects of your life and work, and think about the huge amount of knowledge you have gathered and the skills you have already developed. I bet you have learned a lot right? I agree that money is less important than feeling fulfilled. Find your passion, use your skills, do things your own way. The very best of luck to you and I hope you feel more positive soon

No its not the other way around, after a few years you figure things out in IM / entreprenuership
and other people who do "regular jobs" struggle to pay their bills their whole life, not to mention that they're always 1 medical bill away from being homeless.
