I am as big of an advocate for hard work, as anybody else, but I want you remember that this is just a business.  There is more to life than just making money.

I say this because I see a lot of times in forums, marketers talking about working 12-14 hours a day.  A part of me is happy hearing that, because I know they are going to make it, and have some serious success, if they haven't already.  I went through it, so I know what it's like putting in those kind of hours when you are starting out.

BUT, then you read about those marketers who just take it to far.  They talk about how working these hours have had a negative effect with their personal relationships, their marriages, etc….  You even hear about marketers who live such a stagnant life that they have had health problems, gained a lot of weight, etc…

Look….I know this can be an addictive business.  Goodness knows….the bug hit me, and hit me hard.  But it's not worth having a life.  After all….what good is money if you don't have the time to spend it with your loved ones?  What good is money if your health is going down the drain?

Make sure to take out your loved one for a nice meal every once in a while.  Make sure to get some exercise.  Not only will you feel a whole lot better, but you won't feel as sluggish, which will only help your business even further.

So, although I wish all of you a lot of success, and I encourage you to work hard for your goals, I don't want it to be your entire life, because you are going to short change yourself.
