In just a blink of an eye I've watched Google crush a 6 figure business for me. But since this is the Wild Wild West, I just hop back onto that horse of mine and ride into some new pastures. There is so much opportunity of the web it's sick. New stuff pops up every day and there is always a few bucks to be made for those that are actually in the game and have a few skills. But don't get too content. You never know when someone will yank the rug from underneath you. Things change really quick and you gotta be ready to roll with the punches at a seconds notice. Personally I'm looking into markets that I know have longevity. I've spent a bit too much time with these 1 hit wonders and hit or miss campaigns. Sure, the cash has been nice, but it seems like a much wiser move to build a brand that will stand the test of time, regardless of what Google or any online entity has to say. Because of the wisdom I've learned from you, and a few select others, I cherish these Wild times online. It's quite a blast, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't learn something new about people. Keep the great stuff coming John. Your words give many of us a great perspective as we venture onto the next daily project! Cheers, J-Mo John,

You are so right. In just a blink of an eye I’ve watched
