I almost kept that promise. However, the net proved too much and with an affliction, it was easy to give up control. I had an excuse, a crutch. I tell you these things because I completely understand, and have written, that an entrepreneur has to be focused, totally committed and maintain a totally positive attitude. In fact, a positive attitude should be standard issue at birth.
Motivation goes without saying as does staying up late putting in extra hours.
As I mentioned, I applied this formula and was very successful. Fortunately for me when I went to cash my reality check, my wife was there to cash it. And, she did it again. I am in no way saying put the desire to be a successful netrepreneur on hold or in the closet. I'm saying to look at your whole world and incorporate every factor affecting your netpreneurship into your plan.
