    Very true Jeremy when you state “I always say I learn 100x more from my failures then from my successes….” . You learn so much in these times of failure, but once you find the route you want, snaps, your a pro. Plus, for you Jeremy I am sure it help with coming up with idea after idea to write about and share.

    I have lost everything that I have owned twice…already and as a result I have been able to bounce back higher each time.

    Getting busted by the FTC scares me more. Bankrupcy can happen to the best intended of business people… whereas FTC goes after ppl pushing big traffic on rebills.
