Life Goes On!
I haven’t written any post for more than one week and I do apologize. I have had some offline issues which I’m still trying to figure out. This post is more focused on a lesson of life rather than making some cash or increasing your pagerank.
There is a saying in Albanian language
“And if you fall 99 times, you will still stand once”
Alright many of you might be asking what’s this is all about? I have been reading different inspirational blogs which have been able to provide good information and always shared secrets with their readers. One of those guys is Paul Bourque. He has been a great affiliate marketer making hundreds of thousands each month. He was a true inspiration for many new entrepreneurs or affiliate marketers who wanted to start making money online. Many entrepreneurs wanted to be like him but what has happened lastly has really made me think twice, that’s why I wrote this post.
Paul is that kind of guy who knows what he talks about, never says it’s white when it’s actually blue and always willing to give support. He also used to make a lot of money online (more than many might make in a year). He also had a nice girlfriend which he really loved. So far it seems like a fairy tale, something like utopia. The problems started when he broke off with his girlfriend. Breaking off from someone who means the world to you, is never easy. I imagine breaking off from my girlfriend … I couldn’t swallow it but hey, it’s not the end of the world. You are neither the first nor the last. His earnings have decreased drastically (last month he made approx $180 profit) so where is the super duper affiliate we were used to see all the time? Where are all those huge earnings, those inspiring posts?
Many want to be on your footsteps Paul but this isn’t the proper way. You shouldn’t be pessimistic. This mood won’t help you get better. It’s time to move, bigger projects, new life. Show to your ex-girlfriend that she was wrong, that she had a great boyfriend once but she lost it and she will never ever have a better one. This can only be achieved by working hard and getting again those huge commissions.
Of course I don’t know the causes of the break off but I see Paul’s behavior and I can say that he is suffering a lot. Take this post as an indicator which guides you to move on and never turn back the time. Don’t let your past influence your future.
To all the ones which might have been in a similar situation. You should know what to do and how to react, it’s not easy but again I repeat it, that’s life. We are just temporal passengers in this world . . .
Thanks for your attention

I was in the same situation with Paul three years
ago.
When my girlfriend and I separated was a very difficult for me; for this reason I stayed all day at home or I went out for a few drinks. Also, I stayed alone and did not want to speak with anyone because I was very depressed with the whole story. However, after a couple of months I decided to change my life, and i try not think about her any more.
Therefore, I started to think what I can do to change my life. Finally I decided to learn the English language and to stard making money online.
(I did not speak English three years ago)
I knew that it was very difficult decision for me; however, I knew that is possible too because I did my plan, I wrote my plan down step by step and I knew if I will follow that plan I can achieve my goal.
Now i am a different person, i think about what is possible in life, not about what is impossible.
My advice to everyone: We can achieve anything we want in our life with desire and hard work.
