Is it all about getting rich quick?

Hi Friends, I've been offline at WA because my mother died suddenly on Sunday. She was 88, and not in good health, but it's still been a shock and a busy week for me.

Something's been really bugging me though. I read a rant on Saturday about WHY is it that no one on WA talks about how much money they're making. For some reason, I couldn't get it out of my mind that someone would go on and on like this. It felt uncomfortable. But, I also realized that this person had expectations that WA was some sort of a get rich quick scheme. The fact that it isn't is what sets it apart for me. I see it more as school where I will get out of it what I make out of it. I wonder what others here think?

Did you come here thinking you would get rich in a month, or did you have different goals?

Best,

Ahnna

So sorry to hear of your loss no matter the age it is always a shock and a sad time for all the family and loved ones.
When I joined WA it was not for the get rich over night I want to learn to build a business that in the future would support me financially any sort of business takes time, probably comes down to the instant thoughts of the net.. have a peaceful weekend

First, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Even though she was 88 and not in good health, it doesn't make it any easier.

I had NO expectations of it being a get rich quick thing and, like you, that's what attracted me and made me think it was real. I still have money goals but my goal has evolved some. I want to learn the ins/outs better and it's changed how I think. My mind is always racing now.

Hey Ahnna,

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I can only imagine what you're going through. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Oh Ahna I'm so sorry to hear that, I know from what you have shared with us in some of your writings, that she was a very special Lady. Keep your chin up OK, Many of us are here for you. PM me if you need. About the money thing, maybe for about a day, yes I hoped for quick income, then I understood how Ignorant I really was. My HUGE learning curve IS improving & have made solid progress this week. I'm thinking of buying new shades, due to Future Briteness. My Best. Jon

No get rich quick delusions in my mind. Did you see the bamboo tree story? That's more along my line of thinking, but maybe not quite that slow.

No, I didn't see the bamboo story. Is it on here somewhere?

Yes, a blog today, but here is the link to the story.
“THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE”

She lived a long life. God bless her. All you have to do is look at some of the profiles of those have been here for a while to see that they are successful. They would not still be here if they were not.

Sorry for the loss of you Ma, I hope that she found her peace.
You are absolutely right That WA is first of all a kind of university, and nobody would ask students how much money they make. On the other side we are all here to learn how to make some income with our Internet business, surely not over night and not without working hard. I hope for everyone of my WA friends that they will have success.

Sorry for your loss Ahnna, I lost my mother last October. It is a difficult time but life does go on. I would not focus on rants like that. It is a long time business we are building here, not get rich quick schemes.
Of course if we do everything right we will make money! There is no question in my mind about that. If you started body building you would not be posing after a week:-) It all takes time.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother Ahnna. You can't let other peoples rants get to you too much....it does'nt matter where your at in life you are going to come into contact with someone who is not happy about something. At a difficult time in your life, things other people do can be very frustrating, I understand, I lost my father recently, so I totally understand.

I am really sorry about your loss Ahnna. No, I was expecting to find the means to have an extra income source. What I have met here has exceeded all my expectations by far. Blessings.

Thanks, Hilda. And your answer is comforting. I have yet to make money because I'm still learning, but I see the potential. Just curious what other people were thinking.
