This is the first post on this blog.
It’s been months since I did anything in the “internet marketing” niche. No emails, no promotions, no articles, no products, no nothing.
You probably think “Aaaaahh… George must be retired, living on a Greek island.”

I do live in Greece (next to the sea but not on an island) - but the REAL reason I “disappeared’ for the last few months is because I started having all kinds of “emotional and mental issues.” No, I’m not schizophrenic, although for a while I wasn’t too sure about that either.
To make a long story short:
- I lost my focus almost completely
- I felt no “drive” to wake up in the morning and do something worthwhile
- I had erratic sleep schedule - often staying up till 4:00 AM watching TV
- I started doubting myself and my “game”
- I started “hating” this industry that has been so good to me
- I started hating myself!
Instead of focusing on my business and the people in my life that mattered (both “business people” and “life people”), I was just playing “Call of Duty 4″ in order to get my “daily adrenaline fix” (That was until the freaking game fried my laptop beyond repair).
