    Default I have to make a decision... All in with my Gambling business???

    Hi all!

    I´m a little stressed, I think it´s time to make a decision...

    I´m working on a new and fun company, with young people, I can go informal, I live 2 blocks away, I win good money, etc. but........

    ...... I´m not motivated with the job.

    I always have been proactive and love to build projects, make business, etc., I need adrenalin in the job, the possibility to invest on things I believe, to create sites, etc. The first things I do when I´m at the office is looking at my AF Stats and my sites´s emails. I love the internet business.

    The thing is that I have won good money, and I can live with that for a wile... but, I have some fears like if the business go down, the social pressure, leaving a good company, etc, etc.

    In the other hand my dream is traveling around the world living through the online business, and that means not online gambling, there´s a lot of online business I want to do...

    Did you have to think about this? What was your decision? What do you think now about the decision you made???

    Regards!!!

    The first thing that comes to mind right now is "Do as I say, not as I do"...

    Being in Oz we are so far away from Europe and the UK that it is quite expensive and time consuming to see the world. A lot of Aussies decide to go to London for a few years to get some life experience and be able to travel a bit for this reason. Most of those people either come back thinking it was the best thing they ever did, or never come back at all.

    It makes me wish that I did it 10 years ago when I didn't have anything holding me down. If you have the opportunity I would say take it. You never know when it might come around again. I know I shouldn't say that, but you can always pick up where you left off, or continue while you're travelling.

    Whether or not iGaming lasts forever, the skills you learn in the biz are infinitely useful for a million and one other businesses. It possible that the market conditions in the iGaming industry could change for the worse, but for now it is still booming. In the meantime, you can make a good living and work with some of the brightest, most entertaining people, all the while building a skill set that will make you a valuable resource in any industry.

    At the end of the day, you have to do what your heart tells you.

    I would suggest building your casino sites up so that you are earning comfortably from them before making a decision on your job. It sounds like you got a pretty good number there with the flexibility so you dont want to screw that up and rely on some sites that may not pay off as you expected.

    Remember, an affiliates wage is not always consistent due to many factors, salaries tend to be. I would only consider leaving your job once you know you can afford to and earn even more from there.

    Thanks all for your comments! The fact Martyn is that I´m winning more with the gambling business than with my actual job...

    I say screw regular jobs and go with the online business. The greater the risk the greater the reward. There's nothing in this like that gives awesome rewards with 0 risk. If there was everyone would be doing it.

    Why be someone's worker when you can be your own boss and set up your own working time? Steady income? Tell me one job that offers you 100% secure and steady income. Even banks get nationalized and people get sent home.

    It's your choice after all. If I were you I wouldn't ask anyone for advice, because no one knows you better than you do, and what makes you happy.

    I say, so long as you are making enough to live on and have some reserve funds in case it all goes tits up, then go for it!

    And definitely use the opportunity to go travelling - all you need is a laptop, right!

    Congratulations on going full time in your affiliate business!

    One of the most remarkable things for me about working on GPWA is seeing the results from the hard work our members put in - knowing that so many started from scratch and built up businesses that can support them. It never ceases to inspire me, and the milestone going from doing this as an extra project to doing this full time is so exciting. Thank you for sharing!
