I'm Yearly, here's why.

Hello my WA fam!
This morning, I signed up for the yearly premium instead of monthly. The reason why I did it was more than the savings. I did it to fully commit to myself, my family and my business. Last night, I was so frustrated. Honestly, I was frustrated because I was "putting the cart before the horse" by trying to figure out my affiliate links, ads, etc (stuff that I shouldn't worry about until Course 3 lol). Nevertheless, because I was feeling like I was hitting a brick wall, I was starting to doubt myself. "What am I doing? Can I really create a site about credit? Who am I to think that I can work at home full time?", I was saying to myself. So, I went to bed, around 11 pm, miserable. Then, I woke up, and I checked my inbox, and it was Kyle sending me an email about his path and his struggles (I didn't reach out to him; this was totally out of the blue). He was saying how we, all of us, have to look beyond the money or trying to get it just right. What matters is that I have a website; I have something I can say, "that's my site". That right there brought me back. I have to be in this for the long haul, not as a monthly trial. So I went yearly, and now, I can truly say that I'm all in. True, it may feel like I'm walking on a tightrope. But WA provides something that the trailblazers like Kyle and Carson didn't have: WA is like the pole that balances us as we approach our destination. And even if we are feeling like we're falling, the WA community is like that safety net that catches us and bring us back to the task at hand. I'm only 3 weeks in, but I have many more to go. Thank you.
