Hey! I am a 54 yr old, single, owner/operator of a small business from my home. I have had a pet boarding and grooming business for close to 20 yrs. Up until 5-7 yrs ago, it was doing fairly well. However, with more competition in the area from newer facilities in addition to hard financial times, my business has dropped off significantly. I have been struggling for the last few years to make ends meet and this year I decided it was time to get a second job. Easier said than done with my restricted hours of availability for another job outside of my home. Which brings me to my search for something online...so, here I am.
UPDATE #2:
Well, it's back to the drawing board, as they say...my new job fell through. Turns out he had other "ideas" about our working relationship than I did. All the signs were there; however, I ignored them ALL because I wanted it to work out so badly. Live and learn, eh?
Going to put some solid work into my websites over the next year and go it alone...as it should be.
:)
Life happens!
UPDATE #1:
Seems so long ago since I wrote that original profile! So much has happened, I don't even know where to begin. So, I'm going to skip all the gory details and get to the punchline...
Since joining WA, I've developed 3 websites. About a month ago, my health and wellness site caught the attention of the owner of a small, mobile health screening company.
Initially, he asked me to help out with a couple issues he was having on his own website.
We got to talking and he ended up asking if I'd be interested in joining his team in traveling across the country with the mobile unit.
I thought about it for, maybe, 5 minutes before accepting the position. ha ha
Long story, short...I've hired someone to run my kennel business for me, so I'll be keeping that and my house (I was in fear of losing both), while I travel all over with the mobile medical unit.
I will start training and preparing for certification within the next month or so. I'm very excited to start down this next path of this life's journey!!
Be Well!

I've bookmarked your website, you never can tell what I might be able to learn from you.
I hope you'll take a look at my website as well.
Maybe we can do a guest blog exchange, I've done a few before. My Fourth Guest Blog! Until then, all the best.

Hi Barb....
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Stephan and I’ve been involved in Real Estate Investing the last 9 years and just want a change. Tired of Tenants’, Toilets and Real Estate programs that just nickel and dime you to death : 0(
I was checking out another Internet Marketing Program on line that promised you the world in 3 months so I googled it & found out it was a SCAM but in return the guy that wrote the scam article redirected me to WA and I’m so glad he did. I REALLY LIKE WHAT I SEE!!!!
I’m looking forward to working with WA & the Community to make WA my full time job. Saying that I have no previous IM experience, I’m very excited to see were this JOURNEY will take me!!!!
Hope to see you around,
Stephan

Hey Barb,
Thanks for the follow. Glad to hear you are having some success with your sites! I'm 50 and have been self-employed for the last 20 years - the last 11 as a cost reduction and sustainability consultant and a manufacturers' rep prior to that. It's getting to be a grind and not a whole lot of fun so I started looking for something new and think affiliate marketing is a great oppty. I've been researching and poking around different sites for a couple and came across WA last week and it seems like the real deal.
Thanks again for the follow and continued success!

Hey BarbJaeb ! Love your last blog , I too am 54 , but you look great, I myself fell on hard times after getting laid-off Pfizer inc (5yrs) ,Merck & Co. (5yrs) . Leaving both jobs making $70.K, only to move my family to Georgia where I had to move into a rental property I have. And the pay in this part of Georgia is horrible, that is why I'm here at WA learning from all of you to make this happen for me and my family. I'm not trying to work harder at 54 , but work smarter. So to all at WA , where going to make it ! Be bless !

Barb, I just wanted to thank you for following me. Wish I had some of your pet grooming skills. We have 2 dogs, a Brittaney & an 84lb Lab.
Hope you make a great success online. It isn't easy but I know many who have achieved great success! I'm going to try my hardest.

Hi, Ray! Something's going on with your social media buttons; they're all over the place and covering up text. Also, I wanted to leave a comment on your Alzheimer's article, but you haven't allowed comments for that page. You can fix that by clicking "quick edit" under the name of the article in the editor. Then, click "allow comments"
:) have a good day!

Thanks for the tip. I am 84 years old and have to really dig to find the fixes. Work every day doing commercial real estate appraisals. Working keeps me in shape. And keeps me from work on my sites.
By the way - I know another way you could replace your pet grooming income. Design web sites!!! Really impressed with your site!!!

aaaw, thanks, that's so sweet! I have helped 2 people get their sites set up, structurally, but just as a favor...no $$ . Don't think I'm ready for that!
Keep up with what you're doing, you're doing great!
