I completely agree to the points 1 and 3. Actually, this is the reason behind the success I have achieved so far. I'm from a different industry(translations) and points 1 and 3 are something very similar to what I have observed in my career so far. I'm a 26 years old guy, I have clients from multi million dollar companies to small start ups. But I never left a small client for the sake of bigger translation project. The start up companies are your future income generators, you need to treat them equally. Infact, I have grown up with some regular clients who have been a small business a few years back but now are multi million dollar ones. Diversification really works. About my translators, I'm lucky enough to work with a group of very talented people and I owe my success to them. I had worked for many industries- Xerox, Tourism related websites, online poker websites(generating 80% of our total revenue). 99% clients have been EXCELLENT and very nice, a few ones were absolute cheaters but if you really stick to those 5 points, success is 100% yours. I do not make so much money as some big affiliates do, still, I have been making 1-2 million $ consistantly over last 3 years and I guess it's pretty good. Also, we are going to expand very soon, thanks to this online poker industry. I would like every new affiliate/businessman to adhere to these points, achieve success and then continue the hard work. Achieving success is not so difficult but to carry on with it is the most difficult thing :) Hi Jeremy,

He agreed with everything except #5. He just bought a brand new Porsche, not even bullshitting here, he says, "fu** more money more problems, If I have a problem or bad day I just buy something like a Porsche", and I feel much better........you have to love that.

Agree with Randy, most of these things are obvious, and the guy I know practices all these in his business. I only know one millionaire to speak of, but the points in this post are spot on.

It's funny that sometimes the simplest things are hard to pinpoint in life.. All these points are simple yet overlooked so often.. Agree with john, great post!
