Hi,

I have a friend who continues to bring up my failures, he offers to help me in my entrepreneurial endeavor but what is his solution? Amazon affiliate marketing (this forum always brings up affiliate marketing = no control). Then on top of that he wants me to stop what I'm working on and produce content for his site (wut?).

What should I do? I tell him his advice sucks but his response is always you haven't succeeded / made much $ etc.
