Have you ever learned something over and over, but it still never seems to seep into that thick skull of yours?

Ever look at yourself in the mirror and go, "come on idiot, the shit is not that hard"?

That's how I feel about this lesson right here http://www.thefastlanetomillions.co...-have-successful-entrepreneurial-premise.html.

One of the best lessons I ever learned from here was that one, and in the very beginning too. This is like the 3rd or 4th time now I'm analyzing what I'm doing, and yet, once again, I'm chasing the damn cash down the rabbit hole and it IS NOT WORKING!

I'm talking about chasing money again... getting away from the plan you created and seeing the dollar signs waving in front of you over there. Then over here.

That easily manifests into shiny ball syndrome and you're screwed from that point. Even at times, you can begin to question if what you're doing is getting away from your integrity... so focused on the cash.

I guess wisdom and patience come in to play a lot here.

But seriously, how many F*ckin times am I going to have to learn this lesson?!? I feel like I need to be shipped off to a chinese military camp and beaten with cane sticks until there is no choice but to, "get it for life."

On top of this, all the affiliate stuff I do is starting to feel like a bunch of bullshit. Yeah I can create revenue and blah blah, but what am I really building?

What am I really contributing?

The learnings and knowledge base I have from it are priceless, but it's becoming apparent that it may leave a lot to be desired fulfillment wise.

So have you battled with this over time in your own life, and how have you overcome/stayed on track?

What did it finally take for you to get this and not defer again?
