Funny I was thinking something similar to this a couple of weeks back. Something a long the lines of why can't I win the lottery you know all that "when will my ship come in stuff." Well I guess when it all came down to it I figured out a couple of things that may or may not be obvious to others.

1. Don't expect your ship to come in if you haven't figured out where you wanna go. In other words get some clear direction of where you wanna go with your ideas/development.

2. You can't get on the ship unless you have a ticket, there is no free ride. I got so frustrated with myself looking at other people doing the same thing I was but were successful. Of course I wasn't putting the time into it like I should and I was expecting success from nothing. Those that are more successful get there for a reason work, work, and more work.

3. Ships come and go with tide (or whatever analogy you'd like to insert). To be honest with this one the money may come and go, if you want a more steady job go for the 8-5 kind. Working on the net always has the potential to be unsteady so you always need to be patient and keep your eyes open.

4. Don't get on a boat unless you wear your life preserver. I've had months where I didn't have jack for profit coming in. In that instance I was pretty sore with myself and the world because I was losing money. The key is to hedge your bets. If you put all your effort into one thing and that fails then you quite frankly might lose all that you put your hard work into. Learn to have a safety net in other investments whether it be stocks or whatever that might even out the risk of certain others.

5. There will always be another boat. Keep your eyes open for more opportunities and like I said before its good to have more than one way to make some money.

This is probably omg long to read but I had it on my mind so I spewed it out. Hopefully it will help you out in some way if not drive you nuts with ship analogies. Just don't let yourself get anxious over revenue slipping and don't let yourself get down in the dumps if something has a steep learning curve. If you ever get to the point where you think you know everything about one subject then you still have a lot to learn. Anyways my fingertips are bleeding so hope this helps.
