had a few minutes to kill and clear my head
anyways, saw this topic on every board....
just like any other business, the obstacles are your individual desire, your individual perseverance, and your individual motivation to succeed.
pretty simple, but the same 97% of the people that can't cut the rigors of self employment in the real world, for some reason think they can make it here without any of the above mentioned traits, and that is an unfortunate misconception.

Amen!
I can't tell you how many people in my life have wanted to escape their failing careers thinking they could make it in porn easy. I guess that may have been the case in 95 - not now.
Even someone who has been in adult for over 15 years, know that it's about consistency. Even when times are tough the strong survive. Every aspect of your life becomes enriched when you finally "get it".
Sure maybe I stayed because I like making money when I sleep or deciding it's a beach day and not an html day. Through the years I've learn the discipline needed to stay focused and my ass if covered. No matter how hard that wind shifts my sails, my ass is covered and there’s ALWAYS going to be a plan A, B, C & D.
The biggest problem I’ve seen in porn amongst my peers is that they don’t diversify enough. They tap into something, start making money, start having fun and think that pot will always be full. That’s a bad move.
