A question for all you "old pros" and all you guys that, like me, are still relatively new (2 years) to this. How did/ do you keep from getting discouraged when you think you're doing all the right things but keep getting skunked? I understand you have to put in the time, ask questions (this site is a huge help in that respect), experiment, etc. Sometimes though I just don't know if I'm doing it right in the wrong place or wrong in the right place. For the most part I manage to stay fairly optimistic. Not giving up by a long shot. Just wondering how other folks out there deal with the "dry patches".
