hitting your head against a brick wall, does it give away finally?

Dave and I are spending a lot of time on our website. Dave spends just about every night and part of his work day writing up articles, contacting SIDs, coaches, and radio station personnel. I spend time updating the website and sending emails. We also try to attend all football functions and media events that we can. Sunday is spent printing out stats and quotes and Dave writing the review of all the games. Then I upload it to the website. Then Dave writes a short note for the main bulletin board and I post that noted on the 12 other school's bulletin boards. I also have to review all the photos that I took, crop them and put them on the website gallery.

My hope is that with all this work we are doing, trying to be professional about this and doing the best we can do (both of us are very anal about having all our t's crossed and i's dotted, and still we find small errors or other people find them for us), this will work into a full time career for Dave and possibly me (if our website starts making money for us). Are we being foolish to work so hard for so little result (at least right now)? My heart says that we should keep trying. Don't give up. It will pay off in the end somehow.

I don't know. That's all I can say. If you enjoy it, keep it up. But, if it starts to be just a burden, you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. It sounds like it takes up a lot of your time.

I must like it, because I am notorious for not doing what I don't like to do.
