Expressed My Passion

If you are like me, you found this community, you built your website (or started to) and, due to past experiences in MLMs or other business opportunities were hesitant to share information about WA to family and friends.

If you are like me, you really didn't want someone to think that you were selling them something, like vitamins or soaps. At least for me, that is how it was.

I stay up late every night tweaking and building a web page. Writing, and struggling with photos not posting right until finally it happens and I collapse into bed.

Yesterday, I had a moment when I shared what I am doing online with my fiance'. I was scared but was tired of hearing her call everything I study about affiliate marketing a scheme.

Something happened on our 30 minute drive to my mother's house: I found, and successfully expressed my passion to her in a way that was so contagious that she could only be happy for me.

This may seem like something small but it was a victory over my natural skepticism. It was a victory over her doubt. It was the first time I really felt so "with it".

Now for the advice: If you find yourself doubting yourself, or thinking that this community may be just another in a long list of internet schemes, it is not! Trust yourself. This was opportunity came to you for a reason, and only because you were ready for it.

This is a great community, in which I trust and believe. There are others communities out there but none that have ever made me feel so completely supported.

Stick with it, and if you need anything, ask. We are all here to help.

In Peace and Positivity,

Alex
