Wealthy Affiliate Sent me Home!
Hi Guys and Gals,
I am so glad I finally got my freedom. There was some delay in the processing of my end of service benefit. I am now at home with the option to do whatever I like. I have never felt so relieved, that those pressures on the job are gone.
Actually, I did not hate my job, as it was my dream career. I built my assets using the income from my job plus the money I earned from ordering stuff from eBay, Amazon and other online stores from the US as well as from the Chinese online stores like Alibaba, Ali Express, DhGate, and Trade Tang.
I sold items from expensive bikes, guitar stuff, Oakley Sunglasses, Golf Clubs (yes Saudi Arabia have golf courses), to aviation special tools physically in Saudi Arabia. I love to sell stuff since I was a kid.
I was planning to quit my job a long time ago but there was always the fear of failure and the hard part is to step out of the comfort zone. I was making good money on that job and it offers excellent travel benefits as an Airline employee.
Wealthy Affiliate Changed my Mind
When I joined Wealthy Affiliate on May 20, 2016, I was optimistic that it is the one. It was confirmed when I was paid for three premium referrals on July 1. 2016. It was the sweetest $24 dollars I have made. Then every 1st of the month I am paid by Wealthy Affiliate.
It took me another 20 months since I joined Wealthy Affiliate to shake that employee mindset and decided to quit my job. It is the best decision I have made in my life. Now I can focus more on my businesses both online and offline. I can jam with my wife and daughter anytime I want, lol.
To the Newbies
Do not let a single bump in the road stop you, but make it as a test to get through more bumps on the road. I had to work through college and I did not complain as the more hurdles you have to overcome the sweeter the success.
Now That I am Home, Let's Party.
I have already received some PM from members who want to visit me so let's make a date according to your schedule. I don't have one for now, Lol
My home sweet home.
My Attrium with a marble chess table.
Too bad my pool is not done yet. This will be part of the second venue for rent. The pool is designed as a grand piano with the keyboard as a walkway.
So come visit me and let's enjoy life!
If you are a musician you can jam with me and my family or I can always arrange my friends who are pros to jam with you.
Cheers,
Belden

Hi! Belden,
Congratulate you on achieving what you planned to be, and you did it. Your successful story could inspire many people pursuing online business - of course, I am included.
To emulate what you did, may I ask you for two things:
1. what is the name of your website?
2. please critique my site as requested in a PM to you.
Please help!
All the best to your success, happiness, and health,
James
My website is listed in the lower right-hand part of my profile page.The site feedback in WA is a much better option for you.
I went to your site, which is definitely impressive in how it has been constructed and displayed. May I ask which WordPress theme you used and what eCommerce plan you implemented?
Thanks,
James
Thank you for appreciating my site. I am using the Genesis framework with a Child Theme and use Thrive Architect to build those advanced features. I am not into e-commerce because I want this business to be as passive as possible. Affiliate marketing is fine with me.
Hi! Belden,
Thank you for promptly sending me the information I requested and I will look into them.
Much appreciated,
James
