Online Schmonline

Ok while I might sound like a jaded skeptical old school burnt out, I will have to say that consistent success in the real world is by far superior to the occasional feast and usual famine in the online business realm. You see, from 1998 to 2008 I earned about 99% of my income online, from behind a computer screen, developing games, selling products, and even begging for money. I was constantly struggling in one way or another. Either struggling to find work, or struggling to get the work done and book another job. I even looked at affiliate marketing, and had the help of a mentor, but quickly that business failed, due to google shutting down my adwords account. After countless years of ups and downs, it had taken its toll on me.

Now within 6 months, I've got 3 rentals, a flip house purchased, and another rental that we could close on in the next few weeks. I've got a full time employee now, and each day is filled with new challenges that are exciting. I feel like I've left the rat race behind me. Everyone else can have the online schmonline BS, I'm done with digital dollars. Ideally, I'd like to build a good online business that doesn't take much time to run. I'm sure there is a lot of good possibilites, but right now its too enjoyable doing real estate deals and working on houses. Watching things grow in a positive direction. I seem to be a good deal magnet, I can find whatever I need. It seems too easy, if you are willing to do the labor.

Anyhow, I feel like if I can pull this off, in a crap economy, I can't wait to see how good it gets once things are good! Next post will be my 2009 goals.
