All this got me thinking - I wonder if some of the 'successfull' (be it money fun whatever) people in SL ever log into RL for a break? - or if they spend their 'spare' time online chatting? Laughing

Well, my thoughts on that is that the financially sucessful clubs has an owner that acts like an owner. They spend a good portion of time working, but they do a lot of hiring. Other than musicians, club workers work for barely nothing.... so a club owner paying like $100L an hour for a host or dancer or whatever.....

The owners that (im guessing) dont make money are spending ALOT of time on their venue... because they made their venue for that purpose... to make the venue.... sure, over time it gets more overwhelming and you become stuck in SL working on the venue....

I think there needs to be a tad bit of compromse... sometimes a venue owner cant do it all, cant pay for it all, and sometimes need help from other people and companies

I can understand the burnout, cause sometimes I really feel overwhelmed. I work pretty much in SL full time now, not only at my shows (which are limited to 2 or 3 days a week) but I've also been building houses and stuff like crazy (and finally selling some) to raise money.

In addition to that I'm mentoring new sailors and working on estate stuff. I can't afford to hire help so I do all the work myself. I'm fortunate in that I have some volunteers that help out with security for big events, but that's about it.

Company sponsorship is out of the question for me, because of covenant restrictions, I'm very limited on what I can put on my land. I do have two residents that are sponsoring individual artists for me which is a tremendous help.

And I do try to get out every now and then and catch someone else's show. The sad thing is, the longer I'm in SL, the more work it's becoming. Sometimes I just want to quit and pull out an alt and just goof off and disappear, but I have so many friends and I love what I do so much, I just can't give up.
