I’m still on my Honeymoon phase for both my blog and website, but they’re still one month old. I hope to jump from the Honeymoon phase to the It was worth it phase, without having to go through the other phases.

@Paul: Before creating my current blog I went through phase 1 to 3 with other blogs. Four other blogs to be specific Come on, how hard can it be to write 500 posts?… Well, you better have something to say. With my fifth blog I know I have to go through phase 1 to 3 AGAIN if I abandon it, and that’s starting to get quite boring. So I’m beginning to get curious about what it REALLY takes to get to phase 4.

Haha, great article and a fun read. Especially for anyone who has tried to start a blog, make money online, and/or switch their career.

I’d say that affiliate marketing died in Stage 2 for me. But my blog is up and kicking and I’m probably somewhere at the end of Stage 2 or the very beginning of Stage 3. As for careers, I recently decided to make a drastic switch and I’m at the end of Stage 1 or the beginning of Stage 2.

I completely agree with all five Stages, as I’ve been through it once in my life when I switched careers. You do run the full spectrum of talking about it, taking action, regetting the action you took, realizing it wasn’t that bad, and then accepting your decision as the correct one.
