Wife is in Hong Kong for a month. I guess I have lot’s time to get things move forward. Felt a little lonely without wife on my side.
Let me put my emotion aside and make another weekend confession.
There are few life lessons learned in the past 3 years. Most of them are related to the way I am thinking. It’s not necessary to what I have done in the past 3 years.
- Don’t waste money on buying domains that you will never do anything with it.
I will just let those domains expired. Wasting hundreds dollars without doing anything with it is simply a stupid act. - Need to balance between work and life.
Work hard and play hard has been my guide line for a while. I guess I was playing too hard. - Include your family members in your entrepreneur roadmap.
Left your family behind your success or the fortune you made is simply a shame. They are your family and they deserve to be part of your life. - Believe yourself when no one in the world believes you.
Well. When your family think you are loser, what would you do to tell them you are not? - Selfishness is the only true motivation to drive everything forward.
I believe that we won’t be able to live this long, if we are not selfish. We want to live better because we are selfish. Aren’t we? - Business is business. Don’t put your emotion into your decision.
Now, I think emotion is the killer of your success. It changes the point of view when making decision. You often will make wrong decision. - There is no forever love, but a lie will last forever.
This is a tough one. When you lost your confidence to someone you love, would you change your mind to love someone else? You never know how long love will last. However, if you lie to someone, it will last forever and hunt you down forever. - You only have one life and you may die tomorrow. Enjoy your life while you can.
Life is really short. You never know when you will die, so why not enjoy your life now?
What’s the reality?
- My supplier no longer offer drop shipping.
- Making no sales on of my e-stores, since I don’t spend any penny on marketing it. It’s dying.
- No programming progress – Got distracted by doing some minor projects for SEO and Internet Marketing purpose. No idea if those task will make good return of investment.
- Wasted $ on buying domains that I have never done anything with it.
- Still need to deal with insurance for the auto accident earlier this year.
- Making some money from few web site, but it’s not enough to bring foods to the table.
- Rely too much on one income source.
- Spend too much time on planning, writing blog and check web logs.
Time to get back to work. Take actions that I have left behind for so long.
Should I start over again on this blog? Start thinking about start from scratch. Don’t really like the way this blog is going. Too much emotion that don’t bring too much value to anyone. Not even to myself.
Need to rebuild my personal branding. This blog is going nowhere.

I wouldn’t let your unused domains expire. If they are good domain names, someone might want to buy them. If nothing else, put up small websites on each of them, get some traffic to it, then flip them.
Definitely diversify your income sources, but build one at a time and don’t work on different things here and there or you won’t get anywhere.
@Dan:
You are right on the point. I think I just have too many good domains and they end up become useless domains. I did put up some page here and there, but it end up going no where. It’s primary due to lack of time to market those domains.
I am actually put all other minor income source behind me and working on making real income. Stay tune.
Glad that you are still reading my blog.
Excellent reflections. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Emotions could really swerve us from the path that we want to take. Won’t you consider starting a new blog? One where you should also start a new writing style, one that is less driven by emotions.
