Exactly.
If you've got the offer of help, take it. It's an offer.

But working for yourself isn't 'working for yourself with half a dozen people having an opinion' - by all means ask for suggestions and advice, those without a vested interest are more likely to give you an honest opinion, rather than working to an agenda.

I'm always grateful for offers of help
But past experiences have seen offers become very conditional when it comes down to it.
In fact, if I was the sort of person who could 'go for it' and make a million, you'd think I would have already done it, wouldn't you?

I sometimes feel I'm one of life's terminal under achievers.

Snap out of that.
I'm a firm believer in 'right, where do I want to be and how do I get there?'

You've learnt from what didn't work and now is the time to make something work. Nicely packages homemade soaps sounds like the sort of thing that would sell. Why wouldn't youts?

Help that comes with conditions (other than a pint) isn't help. It a sales pitch.

You've only failed to achieve what you want from life because you've yet to exploit the thing that will help you reach your goals - but your goals should be ever changing. If you want to earn twenty grand a year, the moment that comes close, you need to be thinking, 'right, how can I earn thirty grand' and so on.

Tell ya, when it comes to (trying to) make money, I'm a ruthless cunt.

To be honest,
I've changed so much in the last few years that there's no reason to expect the same old results again. I just have self belief problems still.
There is an idea that I keep coming back to and it always seems halfway feasible, so that might bear some working on. Once I get back on my laptop tomorrow I'll write something down.

Keep me posted b3th!
Anything I can add, I'll gladly pitch in with.

Got your cider shoes ready for later this month?

I have a natty new ensemble which just happens to be in patriotic red white and blue
So hopefully I won't get shanked for not being English.

haha!
New outfit for the occasion eh. I hope Mr b3th doesn't get jealous. Especially if Gonz makes it!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 3 Apr 2012, 0:29, Reply)

Are you kidding me?
He gets jealous if I talk to the barman!

Mind you, that might be because he makes no secret of letching at me. And of course I am unbelievably attractive...

He can have the final pop-shot in the b3th bukkake.

Is that like pin the tail on the donkey?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 3 Apr 2012, 0:39, Reply)

Jizzing over donkeys is wrong b3th.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 3 Apr 2012, 0:41, Reply)

Not in Weston.
It's practically a local sport.

Well, tell me about your toppings!
And your ice cream.

there was one with a lot of meat and olives on
and one with a lot of cheese on. And I had pistachio and hazelnut gelato. Om nom nom.
(berk, Tue 3 Apr 2012, 0:44, Reply)

Olives are wrong. Just so you know.
But then, I think jizzing on donkeys is acceptable, so what the fuck do I know?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 3 Apr 2012, 0:46, Reply)

black olives are nice
green ones...meh.

Makes it sound like you dined with Gonz!

Glad to hear that your trip to the capital was (so it appears) a worthwhile exercise.

And I'll be sure to comment on your fine new shoes and b3th new outfit on the cider boat!

You must be monster excited about this masters?

The handicapped.
They get a low number which puts them at a further disadvantage.

I got a very high number at the last golf I played.

Without cheating, you'd still be on the 5th hole.

Less wise is me telling you I read 'palms' as 'pants' and thought... 'Maybe you need some sort of liner'.

Mr b3th currently has 800 gusseted envelopes he's trying to flog.
Every time he says the word gusset I collapse into giggles.
I am such a grown up.

Has he suggested wiping them on your quim to speed up the postal sealing process?
