			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, making money online isn&#8217;t easy or every Tom, Dick and Harry would be doing it. Sure you can setup a simple site with a few pages of unique content, rank it decently for a minor search term and slap on Adsense &#8211; but realistically how long do you think that&#8217;ll last?</p>
<p>Google is already <strong><a href="http://www.google.com/experimental/a840e102.html" title="google search voting trial" target="_blank">trialling search voting</a></strong> whereby users can vote for or against the rankings of a site &#8211; do you really think someone will vote a MFA site well? An easy business is easily flawed, and whilst you may be making money now it probably won&#8217;t last.</p>
<p>I agree, content is King and people may just think your 5 page mini site is useful, but what they are looking for is regularly updated content, fresh media and up-to-date resources. And, this is why I am building a stronger, better network this time round.</p>
<p>But, like anything you want badly, it comes with a price. I don&#8217;t need to remind you of my daily routine to highlight the extend to which I will work for success. Recently though, it shows &#8211; my eyes are bloodshot.</p>
<p>Stupid yet significant, it highlights that you need to go that extra mile if you want to succeed. I work before my job, I work after my job, I think during my sleep and I work on my holidays too. Still, I am not collecting enough money from my persuits to pay my food bill nevermind drawing a full time income from it.</p>
<p>And whilst some people reach <a href="http://selfmademinds.com/200807/on-target-for-making-7-figures-this-year/" title="self made minds" target="_blank"><strong>nearly seven figures</strong></a>, I plod along, towards the light at the end of the tunnel.</p>
<p><em>Stick in, and good luck with your persuits,</em></p>
<p>Khalid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a tiring return to work. I couldn&#8217;t sleep the first night, as you do when you are getting back into a routine. Then, on the second I didn&#8217;t have my usual eight hours and tonight I&#8217;ve been working solid for what feels like eight hours!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m ranting, but whichever way I put it what I&#8217;m trying to say is that I really need a rest. My ambition and drive for success sometimes means I skip sleep, cut out breaks and sit solidly until the job is done. Whilst this is really good and means I can hammer out sites quickly, it does mean I&#8217;m constantly yawning, my eyes are blood shot and I feel like I am getting no where!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://khalidslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/tired.gif" alt="tired" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to rest and take breaks so you return to work with a clear head and fresh enthusiasm but everyday when I get up at 6.15am to go to work I kick myself for not living my dreams of being a full time internet entrepreneur. And when I sit at my desk doing boring work, hating every second, I kick myself for not earning enough online.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still ranting, I guess I just need to zip it until the day comes where I am earning enough to write inspirational blog posts and food reviews like Mr Chow. In the mean time I&#8217;ll be repeating my working patterns of coming home to build more sites until I have a network with hundreds of domains &#8211; 30 so far, I want 200. My time will come&#8230;I hope.</p>
<p><em>Good luck with your persuits,</em></p>
<p>Khalid.</p>
