    Anyone else frustrated? :(

    This entrepreneur thing has taken a whole freakin' load out of me.

    I haven't had a girlfriend (or sex) in the last six months. [uber ]
    No time to breath, too many projects to keep track of and i'm still making no money. Sometimes I get carried away with projects working way into the night and suddenly I remember that I wasn't supposed to be working on it and I've just wasted 4+ precious hours. Times a bitch. I'm not making that much money either yet, have I mentioned that yet?

    Seems weird, a couple of months ago I could take on the world and it'd be a breeze.
    Ugh. I think I just need a holiday.

    Dude, you have to relax man. Don't complain, get off your butt and do something about the situation. Get a part time job to bring in some extra cash.

    Time is a bitch. That is why you have to make every second count.

    What kind of work are you doing that you aren't making money?

    I can tell you your problem... its easy to fix.... It's highlighted above... pick the one with the most potential and then forget about the rest. You can come back to them once the first one is up and running (and making money)... focus and your life will get a little easier...

    I disagree. I also think the problem is easy to fix though. I have highlighted the problem below:

    Focus is the bane of our existence as entrepreneurs. But it's the one thing that will make your richer than anything else.

    You're probably like me; every time I open the paper, watch TV or talk to a friend I come up with a new business idea. So I struggle every day with working on the most profitable projects on my list. If I'm not careful I spend hours researching a new market or product.

    What I do is take the one most profitable item and then set an egg timer for 50 minutes and work just on that one item with no interruptions: No email, no phone calls and no conversations.

    When the timer goes off I'm usually surprised by how much I've accomplished. Then I take 10 minutes to stretch, read my email, check my voicemail etc. I can repeat that several times in a day.

    It's very simple and it works great.

    I learned that from Eben Pagan AKA David D'Angelo of DoubleYourDating.com which you might want to check out to help with the girlfriend problem :-)

    Learn to time manage a bit better.
    If you're not willing to scrap a project, make yourself a weekly planner and devote time in blocks to projects, as you deem their importance and/or worth. Set alarms on your phone for the first few weeks so that you get into the swing of things.
    Best idea is to get a magnetic planner, so if you find yourself going overtime in one project, you can swap the time with another by simply replacing magnetic tiles...
    Ensure that you leave 48 hours in there to sleep, and at least 10 in which to relax and/or socialise. If you burn out from not enough sleep and relaxation, it'll cost you a lot MORE time recovering and in lost productivity.

    As for sex... honestly: prostitutes.
    Moral issues aside, find a reputable service (i.e. one that can produce health certificates on demand) that has a girl (or guy, doesn't really matter) you like the look of.
    Chances are that it'll cost you less than dating will, and you don't have to put up with the time wasting temper tantrums a partner inevitably provides. Hell, if you'd ended up with a gold digger, it's really no different to prostitution anyway, other than that you meet her parents...

    Williell: You misunderstand me.
    I'm on a steady relationship. Have been for 8 years now. We support each other in numerous ways and it's a great relationship. I certainly wouldn't be where I am now without her...
    However, I'm simply replying to a problem with the most pragmatic response.
    1337 is saying he hasn't had sex in 6 months and that it's a problem. A prostitute is the simplest & speediest remedy to this problem.

    RLorenzen: So is shooting people, but North America has the highest firearm homicide rate in the world...
    Just because something's against the law doesn't mean it's not frequently done or readily accessible.
    As for where I am, I've mentioned it many times: Australia. We're a rather libertarian country here that has managed to separate moral issues from actual criminal issues in many instances because we weren't founded by puritanical zealots.
