Perfect Vision

It’s the year 2020. For me, this was the year that was destined to represent perfect vision and the year I declared would be ‘My Best Year Ever”!! After many years of searching, I finally found the thing I was passionate about and the stars were beginning to align for me. Not only could I make a living doing what I love, it was going to create residual income all while working from home!

I was ready to take on the World….

Wait…What?

Then IT happened. The Corona Virus reared its ugly head and turned our lives upside down. Right in front of us, we have watched the entire world suffer from the same crisis issues at the same time. Suddenly companies, like the one I work for, began to downsize and lay off their work force. Many of my friends and co-workers were faced with a job loss. My vacation plans to Vegas and George Strait concert I had planned almost a year ago were wrecked. I could not go out and eat at my favorite restaurants, and social distancing?! I couldn’t even travel to see my family! In the blink of an eye, life as we knew it changed and the walls began to close in on me. All my grand plans of success were about to be crashing down in front of me too along with everything else…or were they?

Sanity Takes Hold…

After a couple of months of feeling low and hopeless at times, I began to realize this can’t be our fate. The World and the USA are too strong and innovative to allow something like COVID to take us down! After all, history has proven that even in the darkest hour, the darkest days, life emerges on the other side stronger, more vibrant, and yes even wealthier! We learn from the mistakes, the bad experiences and find ways to come out bigger and better. It is when innovation takes off like a rocket! Yes, some things in life will never be the same, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

The Silver Lining

The recent pandemic has truly solidified it for me. I was on the right path all along! Now it is even more apparent this is the only thing to do. After seeing so many losing jobs and others holding onto their way of life in a never-ending sea of uncertainty, it is clear as day now more than ever. Now is the time to take your future into your own hands. So here it is, the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow we’ve been looking for. If you are looking for a way to create a second income stream, passive income, or you’re an entrepreneur building an online business with aspirations of being wealthy, there has never been a better time to jump right in! The opportunities are endless. While our worlds and everyday life were turning upside down from the Corona Virus, people were forced to shop online more (and some for the first time), work from home rather than wasting time and fuel commuting to a job. Companies, schools, entrepreneurs and so forth will re-evaluate how we do business and deal with the everyday inefficiencies that we had become accustomed to. Yes, things will look a bit different and I am ok with that. For online entrepreneurs, there will be a lot of opportunity to grow your business in a big way due to the changes taking place in the world.

Opportunity Knocks…Loudly!

If you’ve ever entertained the idea of diving into the work from home space, there has never been a better time to do it. Come on in, the water is just fine!

Always a much more interesting read when it comes founded on a base of real experience and thought about what that experience means and what one has learned from it. It will be very interesting following your progress my lady.

Wishing you all the best and success into that future you are so determined to forge. Determination as you know is an essential and magic ingredient that is required to those goals. Uopward and Upward, step by step!!;

Have a fantastic day!!;

Hi Rami, I agree that experience makes it easier to write interesting posts. There's so much to write about and I need to discipline myself to do so. I admire your ability to look beyond the surface of others and the awareness it takes to notice subtle traits. I also have a high awareness level and notice almost everything, lol...
Thanks again for your support and encouragement :)

Thank you Alice. I have noted that you do only not surprised by it. You girls are at an advantage as you are wired by nature through the succession of the species to be more adept at the underlying. Only as some men some of you have honed the ability further lols!

You are most welcome my lady and its my pleasure!!;

Hi Rosana,

Thank you for the kind compliment! I enjoy writing but it's hard to make the time to do it. It's a deficiency I have to work harder on especially since I want to start a blog website :)

Hi Debbi,

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! And isn't that the truth? WA is the place to be, no doubt in my mind! Glad we're both here :)

Hello Alice, Very well written,honestly I agree with your contents and as said this is the best opportunity that we all have come across getting registered ourselves as premium members with the WA community.

I had registered myself for an affiliate programme and within a week I claimed for a refund and gave up that course as I was not sure whether it was legit. After doing good research and seeing this big community and having a choice to make payments monthly it convinced me to get into this programme and go ahead with an online affiliation.

Hi Sumit and thank you!

I've been a part of a few online marketing programs too and while honestly they have all been wonderful in their own way, I like WA the best due to the warm and welcoming community as well as the fact that they only promote affiliate marketing. The others I had joined was online marketing in general and it was really overwhelming. The WA structure takes a little getting used to but once you understand it, it's not bad at all! I think we will do well here :)
