Trusting in employment is really hard for me to do these days.
My Name is Lenny, and I stumbled on this opportunity quite by accident. It all started while I was on Face Book, earlier yesterday, checking out my wall. While doing so, I came across a post about Donald Trump. Trump was promoting internet entrepreneurship, as a way for ordinary economically deprived Americans to improve their miserable lives financially.
The site had a link, that the reader could go to, in order to access reputable on line businesses. So I was curious about these, "reputable businesses", so I clicked on the link. The site that I was taken to had a listing of the top five in home businesses. Under scams.I spotted one business called, Sarah Taylor's Home Cash Code Opportunity.
After looking it over, I went to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) site to get a rating on this business. I couldn't find anything on the BBB site, so I went to the Ripoff Report Site and found information regarding a scam being run by this particular business. The Sara Taylor site also wanted a, $97. 00, payment up front for access to its beginners program.
While I was considering that amount, I reviewed the top five legit online businesses, and spotted another listing on that search site about Wealthy Affiliate. After going to that listing, I was led to another site, where I saw a young guy with a good looking young woman, sitting there in a raft with blue water and what looked like an island in the background.
The letters read:
Steve's Guide to Making Money Online in 2016 & How to Get Started for FREE Today.
.For some reason it appealed to me, at least the free part did, so I started to read the details, and soon I discovered that I had to keep on reading. After reading what it was about, I was so intrigued that I followed the links for more information, and once I did, I spent the next several hours on that site soaking up what was being talked about by this Steve fellow, and later by this Kyle dude.
I'm an anomaly, because I'm college educated, but have lived in the rough and tumble mostly uncertain, and oft times, the upside down blue collar world of professional truck driving, for most of my adult life. For fun, I would build and race hot rods, street machines, while driving semi tractor-trailer trucks over 1.6 million miles in all the lower forty-eight states.
I've been everything, from a company driver, to a fleet driver, and an owner operator. I've run the West Coast, East Coast, South East, Northwest, Southwest, New England, Canada, and Mexico. I've pulled refrigerated trailers, dry vans, fat beds, lowboys, step decks, grains trailers, double bottomed trailers, and tank trailers.
The first truck, that ever I owned was a 1977 Peterbilt Cab Over Engine Tractor, followed by a 1985 Peterbilt Conventional Tractor.They were both set up for the long haul like the West Coast. I have worked for more than 35 different trucking outfits, many now defunct, since coming into trucking back in 1978.
I've been fired from my last three driving jobs, over mostly bull shit. In November 2013, I was fired because a deer ran out in front of the truck that I was driving at the time, and then I was hit a week later by a driver who fell asleep while passing me out on the interstate. Earlier that year, I was let go after the company, that I had worked for for seven-years, lost its mail route contract with the USPS.
Finally, I was axed in April of this year, because I couldn't work the night shift anymore due to a host of health problems, in addition to my doctors forbidding it. At that particular company, I was working nine, ten, eleven hour days consistently, but that still wasn't good enough for my former employer.
That is why, it is so hard for me to trust anybody employment wise these days. It plays into things, that have occurred over many years, where I've learned from the constant mistreatment like what I just described above, which convinced me that nothing is a sure thing. That is especially true in the trucking business, but I have had other nine to five jobs that I hated even worse.
It all started, in July 2015, after I went in for my two-year, DOT Physical Exam. I found out, that I had some severe health problems. That is what ultimately led to me losing my job last April 2016. I will be 62-years old, at the end of this year, and though I've saved for my retirement it isn't nearly enough.
That is why, Steve's ad was like a breath of fresh air, and a new lease on life. I will admit that I am skeptical, but he (Steve) didn't ask me to pay for my own job training (It did offer a free option that many new comers will feel comfortable taking). After further exploration, I decided to go premium, because I am serous about staying out of trucking for good. That is, because trucking is no longer any good for me.
I'm used to hard work, and lots of adversity in my life. I never expect anything to be free or easy, because for most of my life nothing never has been free or easy. I looked this thing over, and it has great potential, so I'm throwing in with you two guys to see how far I can go riding this Wealthy Affiliate Horse opportunity, instead riding a Peterbilt while pulling a semi trailer down a stretch of highway.

Hi Lenny. Welcome to WA. You are in a great place to make that a reality. I have heard a quote recently that now motivates me on my journey to success. If you dont build your own dreams then someone else wil hire you to build theirs. I hope your health situation improves and I can reassure you that you have made the right decision coming to wealthy affiliates.
Thank you Adam, I am confident that I did make a good decision coming the WA. Just in the last couple days, I've more than I ever thought possible about how to make money on the internet. Just think, that that is only the beginning. This is an educational chance of a lifetime. I'm anxious to acquire the knowledge that I'll need to put together a viable webpage of my own. But for now, I'm content to be the understudy and learn what I can from the people here who have actually been there and done it. That's the way I learn the best. In the Air Force we called it OJT. See you later, Adam.
Absolutely!
