I woke up this morning slumped over my laptop. My beard had grown into the keyboard and spider webs crept from the walls and ceilings to my decaying, clothed, disheveled form. I wondered at the time, it was Friday, but a month later than I remembered.

What had happened to the once well organized, motivated would be affiliate marketer? Had I lost my zeal? Was I defeated? Was this the end of the world that Joan suggested was not? Had the magic all gone out of Jay's much appreciated wabanars? Could the supermen Kyle and Carson no longer bear my unmotivated form to the pinnacles of lofty success? Had Pot Pie girl forgotten how to dance the salsa? Why had not someone found success for me while I slept?!!

It is easy to be complacent. It is easy to blame everyone else for my failure but I have cobwebs hanging off of my head. I believe I have not been doing much to improve my situation. The dream of being a successful marketer has become just that: a dream. It is something that other people succeed at, not me because I don't have much time between naps.

Most folks would just give this up and save their three bucks a day for three quarters of a gallon of gas, not me. I intend on staying with this until I am magically transported to that place where straw men get brains, tin men hearts, lions courage and when I click my heels I won't wake up in Kansas, or Idaho, or asleep on my laptop, I'll just be motivated again for a while at least, until I lay down in a field of sunflowers to sleep yet again.

To all who write consistently and contribute so much I am grateful for your information, support and encouragement. To all those just starting this journey, learn, share what you have learned and follow it to fruition. There is success to be had here and it need not be as awkward for you as I.

Sleepily, I wish all success and prosperity in their endeavors and appreciate every word that is written in this well meaning community. Thank you all for what you give.
