I wouldn't let that trouble you too much. As Marion says, the ones who asks that questions are usually the first to quit.

You know where you are and what's what. If anyone else asks again, just politely tell them it's rude to ask such a personal question. Blessings....

I think it's a question we have all asked ourselves at some times when we joined WA.It's legitimate and very human but we have to remember there is no success without failure.This is what learning is all about.
We just have to move forward and made course corrections along the way.

You are absolutely correct. There is no way of predicting who will or who will not make the opportunity pay off. That is a personal decision. Funny how the ones that start off by asking that question are for the most part some of the first ones to call it quits. Great post, have a great Sunday

Thanks for that blog. I'll know to look out for those questions when I start getting people. It'll give me a chance to be prepared.

You are very right,no one can give an answer to that question.It's something very personalized.
Thanks for sharing.

I might also use a comparison that Kyle has mentioned in his training.
How long did it take them to reach their current salary where they are working now? How long would it take to get to the next salary level?

I always turn the question back to them. If they opened a shop in the High Street, how long would it take ... (etc)

How long is a piece of string... You've got the right answer. It all depends on the person, their commitment, the time they can devote to doing this, their previous experience... ~Marion

Good answer... Mostly it depends on the person.
