Creating My Road to Success
TOO COMPLACENT
I recently read a post on Instagram that really made me reevaluate my goals and the timeline of those goals. The post read something like: "Why do we go to college and incur a great amount of debt to work a 9 to 5 job working most of your career to pay off that debt and save up for retirement that you won't get to enjoy until your 65?".
This made me frustrated with myself. I have always been an extremely hard worker, always thinking of ways I could become a better me. I felt disappointed in myself for making excuses for not actively pursuing my goals; whether it was because I felt like I did not have the time or because I felt like I was not where I wanted to be financially, etc.
That post made me realize that I was too complacent with where I was and that feeling made me uncomfortable.
I had to snap out of the disappointment and do something. I immediately went online and researched "7 Streams of Income", "How to Make Money While You Sleep", and "Work From Home Jobs". I stayed up all night trying to figure out how I could answer that question. I don't want to work until I am 65 living paycheck to paycheck until I can finally retire.
I came across a few companies that advertised making tens of thousands of dollars a month through a thing called affiliate marketing and it piqued my interest. So I started doing some research on the companies, reading reviews, and watching YouTube videos to see if these companies were reliable and soon found out most of them were scams.
But then I ran across a review for WA and it piqued my interest. I started doing some in depth research and I didn't find anything referring to WA as a scam and I didn't find many bad reviews. What I did find out though amazed me...
WA WOWS!From most of the reviews I read and the video reviews I watched, everyone spoke so highly about how they really felt WA was a community that truly supported each other through their individual journeys. People spoke highly of the training and the help they were able to receive.
The one thing that really amazed me though was that even the people who weren't 100% happy with where they were in their journey, they felt that by continuing the training, continuing to work hard, and continuing to ask questions when necessary they could still be successful and reach their goals. That speaks volumes to the what WA offers as an organization.
I looked at the cost of becoming a WA member and saw that I could try WA out for 7 days for free! From all the organizations I researched online they all wanted me to pay upfront. WA was willing to give me the opportunity to check things out before I decided to fully jump in and I really liked that. I started the 7-day free trial and loved it so much I decided to become a premium member.
With all that being said, I am excited to start this journey with WA! If you actually read through all of this I really appreciate it. I really did not want to write this much but I feel like there could be one other person out there that feels like I felt and if I can motivate that one person to want more for themselves then great!
I am ready to create my road to success and look forward to the journey ahead!
All the best,
Ashley

Ashley, I can definitely relate to not wanting to work tirelessly in my 60s. Thirty years from now, I want to be retired from the fruits of building a generational legacy for my family.
I truly believe that Wealthy Affiliate can be the platform to help you achieve those goals, combined with quality content and a thriving community of like-minded success makers.
Continue to create your road to success. I'm rooting for you.
Generational legacy for your family...I love that! Thank you for your encouraging words, I really appreciate it!
I am rooting for you as well!
