Time out…
Alright… if anyone’s interested, I’ve gotten one more sale since the last post, totaling 3 sales as of right now.
Do any of you remember what it’s like being a teenager?
Fucking hormones.
Seriously, there’s just TOO much stuff right now, I’m totally emotionally overloaded… and I just can’t keep up with everything.
You don’t need to know the details of everything going on in my personal life, but I just can’t deal with this stuff right now.
So, Project One Hundred and the rest of my IM stuff is going on Time Out for a little while until I’m less… whatever.
I’m sorry if I’m disappointing anyone here, and well, I know I am… sorry. It’s just that with things being like they are right now – there’s just NO chance in hell that I’d be able to get ANY work done… I try, but it just doesn’t work that way.
However, this does NOT mean that p100 is coming to an end. Far from it.
I just can’t do it right now, and no I can’t outsource it either… so it’s going on a little time out. I need to do this at my own pace.
If any of you oldies remember being a teenager you’ll know that it’s not that fucking easy dealing with all this emotional crap, and throwing in something like INTERNET MARKETING in the mix doesn’t exactly help.
So time out.
I’ll be back though. Don’t worry.
Again, sorry to disappoint, but to be honest I don’t really have a choice. Well I could try to work and stuff to make ya’ll happy but then I’d be fucking up the rest of my entire life… Yeah, prioritizing, lol.
I’ll be back soon enough, it’s not like it’ll be several months or anything… I’ll probably still do some work here and there, but I won’t be able, or AM not able to actively put in work every day… plus answering a gazillion emails and PMs and everything.
I’m really not that far away from $100 a day, really, so it won’t be so hard ;)
See you for now.
Out.

Oh well, Linus, I liked this crazy site while it lasted. I think you did really well doing what you’ve done so far. I have a lot of admiration for all you’ve done on this project. You seem really bright and ambitious and wish you nothing but the best in the days ahead. Take it easy on yourself.
Yeah man, I think we’re in the same boat here. Being a teen can be rough, especially when trying to make money on the internet….without the parents understanding, the g/f understanding, dealing with school, dealing with friends, relatives, etc. I know exactly how you feel man.
But, like you said, it’s important to prioritize…but I’m not coming here to give ya some lecture, I’m sure you get it enough from people that don’t understand.
All I’m saying is take a couple days off, clear your head, fix whatever it is that needs fixing, and bring yourself back to a stable state. Easier said than done, I understand. But once you reach that point, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about, and I’m sure we’ll see a post here in less than a week about how things have turned around!
Good luck man, and take care of yourself!
oh, and P.S., you could still name your product “Project One Hundred” but with…”How To Make $100/month” =) I’d still want it, because then I could go ahead and create 10 sites that each make me $100/month and be banking $1000/month =)
Ah man :( unlucky. It was a good project while it lasted but I understand exactly what you mean about prioritizing… I had GCSE stats coursework in for Friday and I just missed the deadline, I just hope the teacher will still mark it on Tuesday :(.
Anyway, good luck IRL, hope you get your problems sorted :).
Hey guys, thanks for the comments, really appreciate the support… I just want to point out that this is NOT over… “it was a good project while it lasted” – well, it’s not over! That’s why it’s just a time out.
Being a teenager is the best time in your life, believe me. The older you get, the more boring, predictable and organized life becomes. So ENJOY.
You made 3 sales in 1 month and most people do not, so it is a success, and you just need to improve from there and you will do great.
Take it ez boy.
I know, that’s why I won’t let this eat me…
And life will only get predictable and boring if I let it. I don’t think age has much to do with how fun you’re having. How does being 50 years old prevent you from doing fun, unpredictable things?
I live and breath spontaneousity so I would disagree with that.
I haven’t said that this is not a success either, so thanks for the comment :)

Hi Linus,
You know, one day you’ll look back on this post of yours and laugh…
Of course if you’ve got real problems then everyone will sympathise including me, and you don’t have to share them, but if it’s just school, girls, zits and the usual teenage angst, then just get on with it.
If your life turns out like everyone else’s, you will NEVER EVER have a better opportunity to make something of your life than right now.
When you get to be nearly 50, and you’ve got a full time job, a wife, two young kids, another one on the way, an ex-wife who needs money for your OTHER two kids (yep, that’ll be five all together!), and your IM work can’t START until about 9pm if you’re LUCKY, so you work until 2am coz you BELIEVE it will be worth it even though your wife doesn’t, and then you get up at 6am and start all over again…
THAT’S when you’ll look back and laugh.
Anyway, hope you get your shit sorted out soon!
Best wishes,
Zander.
Who’s to say what a “real problem” is anyway?
Even if it may look funny and childish in hindsight, it’s not that easy when you’re going through it. And no it’s not just the usual teenage stuff you described. They’re included, but that’s not the whole story.
I know I have the greatest opportunity right now… and that’s why it’s a TEMPORARY time out.
I just got to a point when I just COULD NOT do any more work. Period. Everything-overload. You can only juggle so many things at once. Eventually you have to drop something…
I just need some time.
And that scenario described in your comment… dude, why the fuck do you think I’m doing this in the first place?
Ok, so basically you failed miserably and thought up an excuse to “cover” for it, and then still expect to sell this course for $197? lol.
No, I didn’t fail at all. If I would have failed then I would have said so. In fact, something like this CAN’T fail because it’s still in development, and I’m taking what I’m learning and improving the system.
I expect this to sell when I’ve proven that it works.
And it’s not an excuse. If it was it would be kinda lame to call it a time out and emphasize that it’s temporary because people would be expecting me to get back at it, which I will. Soon enough.
And also, I get like 10 hate comments on this post like every day, and if anyone reading this planning to add any more negative comments then please fuck off.
Feel free to hate all you want, I can’t stop you. Just go hate somewhere else please.
And if anyone else has any moronic assumptions, feel free to post them, we’ll all have a good laugh.
What I said in my post is the truth. I can’t do any work right now at this point in my life.
Yes, it’s very untimely but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Life moves in waves, and right now it’s kind of att the bottom. Been here before, and it’ll go back up to the top soon enough, it’s very predictable actually.
That’s it.
I cant remeber being a teenager Linus its to long ago lol,hope you get back to your old self soon.
cheers
Marcus
So how have things been going now? Have you made any more sales since last updated?
Hi Lem – take your time – this project and the people that trust in you aren’t running off. Take your time, jump one hurdle at-a-time – then get back up, dust off the spot where you felt most kicked and show the non-believers what its all about.
I have been an IM for a few years now and know that juggling family, relationships, food shopping… etc… (life in general) while staying competitive in this field is often a real bitch. Good luck and if you need anything, we are here for you.

Hi Linus..
Are you OK? I would like to say something. If you’re still not OK, then just stay away from your pc/mac for a while. Don’t answer any questions.
Well, maybe you can say you are doing something offline so you can not manage to be with the internet world.
Just stay away from it. Take your time..
Come back here whenever you are ready ok dude..
Hey everyone… thanks for all the comments. I deleted all the hate comments lol.
Anyway, p100 WILL be back very shortly, probably in a couple weeks at most.
Cheers people.
Linus
