it all started way back 1999 with my very first w******.com.ph domain name, i used it to host my website offering web promotion and web design that sucks lol , then i decided to register a couple .com.ph, and yeah .ph and displayed it on my first domain .com.ph and someone bought it, that's not intentional since I just wanted to display it as my domains portfolio, no idea about domaining before, well anyways, then followed up with a .com i purchased like U.S.$70 for 2 years then i was able to let go for U.S.$100. then after ward a .net, then .org
then history... then i joined in namepros, improved from a hit and miss, to research, research and more research.

It was a tough long journey so far... Not easy at all, but now finally I feel great with my portfolio.
It wasn't cheap, I spent a lot of money, and lost money registering mega crappy domains when I started 3 years ago. I don't regret that money wasted, because it was the learning curve, and I learn the domaining lesson the hard way.
Don't let your mistakes bring you down and ignore all the comments from haters, just keep your hard work ahead and you will fin success soon or later!
Domainers don't need good luck, just Hard Work every single day, forget about holidays, vacations, weekends, this career demands time, money and patience...

i think the key is patience and persistence.

I think most of us came with expectations of easy quick money.. in same manner we see 99% of domain newbies today join namepros showcasing worthless regs on their first day of domaining and then giving everyone crap when they say they are worth nothing...

but those among us (or the new ones today) who would soon understand domaining is exact opposite of quick and easy money, and who kept at it.. despite maybe initial loses and struggles.. would be the ones who eventually would have achieved some level of success. which does not always need to translate into profits or great profits.. as I personally consider wisdom and experience and knowledge gained to be priceless and beyond monetary value. of course the thing about experience and knowledge is that by its own nature and design it eventually does allow you make the right choices and that in turn does eventually translate into profits... versus loses.

I think its very important to realize that like with every undertaking in life.. we get out of it exactly what we put in... if we spend 3 hours of domaining a day (reading, learning, looking for names, expired, markets or whatever else}) we will have different results from someone who puts 3 hours per week into it etc..
