Are you making money now? If not, then more zero's in your account won't turn it around for you.

To make it big you have to be able to make it small first.

Came across this thread yesterday and was deeply saddened to find out Tampa had passed away. I completely enjoyed his posting here on ET and out of curiosity went over to his blog. Quite an emotional read. For all of those who think they can start cleaning up their "act" next year, well...

I am a work in progress, who is in this for the long haul. When I first used to hear about the 80% to 95% failure rate I used to think thats not going to happen to me, I was going to be the exception. Then when "success" didn't come fast enough I started to fear those statistics and think I...
