What do you do to keep a social life...

When I was getting serious with AM, I must've spent six months or so where I had to skip nights out and reel in my drinking. It was a bit of a change. As hard as I worked in my day job, I was still going out 4 or 5 nights per week and getting pretty messy along the way. As I realized I could build my own future with marketing, I pretty much focused only on that until I was successful enough to quit my job.
I'm still away doing stuff most weekends, but things definitely change on that front.
Working for yourself is good and bad. I find it hard to switch off sometimes.
You can get away from work, but it's not so easy to get away from the working mindset.

thats real true, it feels good still tho to go out for a round of golf .. or out for the nite and you know your getting paid
but im just gunna have to make an effort to get myself out... and im not gunna let my job take over my social life
The only social life you need is getting laid... fuck the rest of it. Develop your game and start pulling some daily tail.
Remember the Eagle mantra: Money, hoes, cars, clothes.

This.
That is where being exposed to Objectivism has helped me out the most. I was throwing money at my family faster than I could make it.
One day, I just said, no more.
Now, I offer trades.
"I will give you money, and you will do things for me. Your problem isn't so bad you can't work your way out of it, and I don't want to give you a handout, because that will create awkwardness and hurt your self-esteem. So let's be partners in solving your problem."
People stop asking for money once they know it comes with strings. They only ask when they really need it.
the hard part is that going out is less and less interesting when you know u can be home and be hustlin online and making serious $$$
I'm an introvert at heart although I'm completely comfortable in social situations. I would say I'm by myself the majority of my days and truely enjoy it.
+1 for the affiliate summits. To meet up and party with people that are all doing what you're doing and don't look at you with that wtf expression when you talk about business, is really nice. But even at ase I still had to take time to go sit in my dark room for a few hours just to center.

HOW TRUE IS THIS!!!!! This topic comes up so often for me its not even funny - honestly my old friends think I'm flossing when i invite everyone out and cover the bottles... its like fuck dude I did it bc I want us to chill and have a good time - not bc i wanted you to think I have more money than you... just drink and STFU... even ppl that i thot would be boys for life that helped me out in drama - instaHATERS
So this fucking happened and pissed me off to no end: one of my boys got a sick 2005 lexus IS250 and was showing it to a few ppl in the driveway during a party, but then me and my GF rolled up top down in her new 2008BMW 328i (shes also industry) and ppl came to check her ride so later on - my lexus friend was kicking mad comments out every so often about how we stunt, and talking shit behind my back all of a sudden - i was like srsly man - i was xicted to see his whip... I WANTED TO TEST DRIVE IT DMANIT!!!!! but then he turned bitch...
This sounds like a great plan for perhaps a brother or sister. Does it work with parents though?
For me, it's the mother in law. I won't go into details, but she does reciprocate by babysitting. But by my calculations she'll be babysitting for the next 5 years to pay off what she's currently "borrowed."
It's very awkward saying NO to a mother in law. One excuse I often use is "it's tax time, I owe the gov't $150,000 and I've got to stay liquid, so I can't right now". This is good for 5-6 months of nobody pestering me.
I don't have in-laws, and my folks just get a no. I've already helped out my mom, and my dad is the world's biggest mooch, but I just ask him for money whenever I see him, and he can never tell if I am joking or not. No one really believes it is possible to make monies online.
I don't show off if I have money or not. It's the first thing I learned.
I guess with the in-law, the disposition of your wife makes all the difference.
I'm very introverted. and getting involved with people takes a large effort on my part, but I know that if you want to be busy and feel involved, volunteering and/or joining clubs is a way to meet quality people. Environmental groups, film lovers, arts organizations and the like tend to bring out the kind of people you want to get to know.
OK, the kind that I want to get to know. If strippers are your thing, go for it.

Get out there and see the world. I quit my job and took my shit mobile 6 months ago and having the time of my life.
Havent been home in months, traveling around Europe at the moment. do it.

Easier said than done. This isnt a case of "Oh, I wish I had that new hat in the JC Penney window, can I borrow $100?" It's more like "If I dont come up with $400 theyre shutting off my electricity" which leads to the possibility "mom" stays with us until she can save the $ herself to turn it back on. Catch 22. Are you following me sonny? lol
I do say NO, it's just not easy to, was my point. But hey, I have a babysitter for life, a fair trade.
