Taking a Leap!

I'm an anxious type person, the over thinker extraordinaire. I research and research till my carpel tunnel acts up and then talk myself out of whatever it was I was considering doing. This is my pattern because I have a 'play it safe' mentality. Coming from a poor family and living paycheck to paycheck leaves me in a victim mindset around money. I am full of fear when it comes to going out on a limb and taking a chance for myself.

I had heard about Wealthy Affiliate years ago, but riddled with self-doubt and low self-esteem I chose against it. Instead I continued down the disillusioned path that if i just work hard enough for someone else, that my hard work would someday pay off.

Here I am 10 years later and still have nothing to show for it. Don't get me wrong, I am a hard-working employee and a very loyal one at that. My first job right out college I stayed at for 8 years, and only left when I was laid off due to budget cuts. I lost my decent salary that I worked up to over the years and also my retirement.


I bounced back with a different company in my field and so far put in a little under 4 years with no raises and the unfortunate lesson of being passed up for a promotion twice. The painful reality is that it doesn't matter how loyal and hardworking of an employee you are for someone else, you will only help them get richer while you stay exactly where you are. It has only taken me 15 years to figure this out.


Looking in the mirror and realizing that I am not getting any younger plagues me with fear that I am not ready to swallow. Passive income is the only answer. I hit the internet again late one night to do my research and accidentally came across Wealthy Affiliate again, this time I took the leap! And I feel good about it. If you are scared or hesitant, close your eyes and take the leap with me. Don't waste years like i did!
