What happens, if this happen!
I question myself, what happens when I lose everything I have earned so far, my degrees, awards, recognition and even my entire bank balance...
Why am I thinking this way?
Because I know that many people in this world are just 2-3 paychecks away from being bankrupt!!
Do I have any skill through which I may be able to bounce back to life?
And, I found the answer only after joining Wealthy Affiliate.
And, the answer is WRITING.
As simple as it may sound but I can feel myself growing in my writing skills.
And, I know that this skill is something which nobody can take away from me. And, I'll continue to learn and grow in this skill.
2019 Flashback: When I joined WA
When I joined WA I used to write a below average content of 1000-1500 words in 1 whole week.
It was too difficult to write even 100 thoughtful words back then!
I was consistent in writing and my savings were drying up. I had an Engineering degree but I no longer wanted to continue my 8am to 8 pm engineering job, which I left after joining WA. And, my daily schedule became much irregular; no focused time for working, sleeping or outing!!
In my website, I was getting the traffic of around 100+ within 3 months but not yet monetized.
I was desperate. I wanted to re-join my regular job but was afraid of 12 hours time-trap and I avoided freelancing jobs because I hated to work from home, as well.
After another 2 months I came to know about a company in my city who needs Digital Marketers, I scanned through the job description and found that I’ve learned all this through WA, in OEC!!
But I was fresher, how to convince them about my newly learned skills?
Anyways, I went ahead and showed them my website, analytics report and my contents.
And, BOOM!! I got that job...
See... I didn’t need any of my certificates, previous awards or recognition. They appreciated my basic WA website, my content and analytics results.
Now every month I get new responsibility to work on, because my employers have developed trust in me.
I’m leaning to use various premium tools available in Digital Marketing industry along with Ad platform, all in the expense of my company.
Everything started with WA.
SKILLS PAYS THE BILLS!!
So, if I lose everything I have now, I'll still bounce back to life through my Writing skills, no matter how insignificant this skill is now, IT WILL MATURE!!
Do you have any similar experience and thoughts, go ahead and share :)
Thanks for your time reading my thoughts.
Cheers:)

Hey Ingrid, how are you? seeing you after a long time :)
Thanks for your wishes...
Surely, I'll never stop surprising my employers.
Looking forward to giving them the biggest surprise of "quitting" the job, lol:) but only after making significant progress on my WA website.
Anyways, they know about it and they are supportive to me, so far :)
Good evening my friend, yes indeed outstanding, I love hearing this. Yes I do have something a little similar because of w a i wind up having way more clients that I could actually handle as a personal trainer, it also landed me a job as a local newspaper and of course my website is doing okay, if you dig into the dirt and open your eyes and take in all that wa has to offer great things can indeed happen for you. . May you have a wonderful weekend..
