I think you should pick up a copy of “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. After reading the post I think you will really enjoy it (ifyou haven’t figured everything out already).

Staying consistent in terms of lifestyle, work ethic and emotion seems to be something that affiliates struggle with across the board.

Part of my quest to conquer that is to explore what is going by blogging here. I can definitely relate to “One day im up at 9am straight to the gym and back working really getting things done by 10:30. The next day I can’t get out of bed and end up working till stupid late trying to get everything done and usually failing.”

FWIW – I know I’m not mental either Hell one of Australia’s best psychologists said I’d make a great commando.

My problem is not letting things affect me adversely and being able to deal with them in a constructive manner.

Good to see you on here mate, hit me on Skype if you ever need anything (nickhaslem).

Reading your post doesn’t make me think you’re mental. I can draw parallels from what you’ve written with my own situation but my frustrations lie in not being able to achieve what I want as an affiliate and therefore prove my worth and decision to commit time to an online business. I think as a result I get those up and down days. One day im up at 9am straight to the gym and back working really getting things done by 10:30. The next day I can’t get out of bed and end up working till stupid late trying to get everything done and usually failing.

I think what you say about poker affiliate forums is both true and not true. There is definite worth there but I think a lot of people get frustrated at not knowing the exact direction they should be going in, they look to the forum for guidance and it’s not really there. I’m lucky to have met some good guys through PAL who’ve helped me out a lot and even I get frustrated from time to time becasue I don’t know the exact formula to success.
