You and me both:)

Hi Jeff, it was a link to Betch's site that was causing the problem. It's all OK now. Thanks for checking up. Cheers, Caden

I hope so . . . Cheers, C

Thanks San:) May I suggest a weight loss product from Clickbank for your site? It really works! It's called 'Fat Loss 4 Idiots' If you do a review of it I'd be more than happy to leave a comment about it. Cheers, Caden

Thanks Caden, I will check it out.

Thanks Rob, keep in touch. First success meeting on your "40ft sailing vessel and the silky blue waters of the Caribbean"?:)

ALOOOHA Mike and thank you! I love that metaphor:) Take care, Caden

Hey, you're the one who's going to run naked down the interstate when you hit 200 WA referrals - that's attitude for you:) May I suggest you ride a horse rather than run?:)

Thanks Egon. I have nothing to complain about compared with the street kids in Jakarta downtown, where you and your family served:) Cheers, Caden

Thanks for the emotional support:) I appreciate it.

Thanks Mustapha, I appreciate that comment. All the best.

Thanks Mariette! I love your profile. I'm so glad you found WA; with your energy and the knowledge you can gain here, the sky's the limit! You go too, and hopefully we can both become philanthropists!!! Cheers, Caden

That's so nice to hear in these days of throw away relationships.
Thanks for your offer of help Dan. I'll certainly be in touch! Cheers, Caden

Thanks Cindi. Yep, there are probably too many obstacles concerning a mentoring program here.
I just need to work out a niche . . . there are so many things I'm interested in, but just have a surface knowledge of.
I hope you're able to return to WA at some point; I wish you peace and happiness:) Cheers, Caden

My niche was wine, my website is havingfunwithwine.com, unfortunately I only got as far as making the website, no words, just a pic of a bottle of wine. The funny thing is, that I don't even like wine that much, but I had so many ideas (wines, appetizers, sangria recipes, winebottle & cork crafts). I even had my local liquor store email me about wine tastings, and got a subscription to Wine & Food magazine. I was going to put a quote of the day/week, to do with wine too, and maybe sell some wine related items someday. I had a million ideas, just couldn't get through the technical stuff. I'm going to give it one last chance in January, after the holidays, and see if this monster is really so bad.

I don't have a lot of interests, outside crafts and making jewelry, etc., which has been done to death, and even thought of doing it on Military Women, but more with the things I saw and did, and what it is like to live and work on base, etc. I just think I'd run out of material at some point, and the wine thing is more fun, as long as I don't have to drink it much. A mentoring program would help out immensely though. They could even have something like a job board, with a list of people willing to do it for a price, to earn extra $$, as long as they have been doing it long enough to really help. They could have a rating system from people who have used them, so you would know. I guess that would get a little detailed though, especially if WA handled the money part. Anyway, I might bring that up when/if I leave. Now that I'm talking about it, I'm getting excited again, so we'll see.

Anyway, I hope you narrow it down and get your website up and running, and enjoy what you're doing. There's a lot of people willing to help, I think the best thing is to pick one or two people and just go to them if you have questions. I'm going to try that next time. Live Chat works sometimes, except people are so nice they try to help, even when they don't have a clue, but some people there are real knowledgeable too. I'm sure you'll find your way, and will be a success at this. Good luck to you.

I think the concerns that would be thrown up, re being assigned a mentor, are:
> Who gets who for a mentor
> The mentor might get stressed out
> The person being mentored might not apply what was being taught
etc . ..
The benefits would be:
> More financially successful people in the WA community
Maybe they could say :
> You couldn't be mentored till you had been a member for six months?
> That you had to show you had followed the courses (this could be proved by the members website/s showing they had applied the lessons) . . .

I can just feel it in my bones that this can work, I just feel as though I'm missing some important piece right now. So . . . I'm going to keep at it,

I hope you do come back. I think a blog for Military Women would be very helpful. I was talking to a client the other day - he was in the army for most of his working life, and I could tell that the life he had led could only be understood from another military person's point of view. As much as I wanted to understand, I might as well have been from another planet. He had had experiences that I can only hope never happen to me.

Your talents are needed Cindi. People like to read what you write. Hope to see you back next year. Take care, C

Thank you so much, I will definitely give it another try. You're right about the military, it's a way of life you can't fully understand unless you lived it. I miss it every day, and so many people have a hard time adjusting to real life afterward, and re-live it through their "war stories", I find myself still referring to my military days too. I had nothing but good experiences when I was in, and hated to retire, but you can't stay forever, plus you want to settle down eventually, but I got to travel the world, and really experience other cultures, ate some great food, saw some great places, met some great people. It was a wonderful life, and it took years to figure out where I was going when it was over, I think I'm still trying to figure it out.

I agree with all you said about the mentoring, and while I think it would benefit people, I think it would take a lot to make it work, and Kyle & Carson have enough on their plate helping people now, of course that might alleviate some of their work too. I don't really see it happening though, but you never know. I might look into the military side of things though if I do decide to stay. They say once you get it here at WA, you can repeat it until it's easy, so maybe it would benefit me to stick it out and really learn it. I never even finished the training, so maybe I'll do that before I call it quits.

Anyway, it was great talking to you, and I hope to tell you something positive after the first of the year, you'll probably be way ahead of my by then. Right now I have to get away from the computer for awhile and get some stuff done. Again, good luck..

You're welcome Dan.

You're so kind Maria. I appreciate your thoughts and support :)

I left you a comment on that page :)
Love Ripken's quote: ". . .do your very best day in and day out. That’s all I've ever tried to do . . ."
Cheers, Caden

Wow, but hey, when I returned from the US (2002), I had no idea who David Beckham was!!!

You said it!

Thanks Mike, and the same to you!

Thanks Anand. You and I are survivors not victims - how about we reach our goals and show the recession what we're made of?!

Thanks Caden for following me.

Thanks Con, I appreciate your supportive comment.
I've really had a blessed life, so cannot complain about my losses when so many other people have been devastated by the recession too (in Ireland especially).
My friends and faith have been key to my sanity!!!
Here's hoping we'll all find success here at WA. Take care, Caden

Thanks Paul. I appreciate your comments and offer of help.
I always have lots of questions, so you'll be hearing from me :)
Enjoy the lovely weather we're having! Take care, Caden

Right back at you Betcha! Cheers, Caden.

Thanks for that support Kymee.
God bless to you too (I wonder when typing those words will be banned too . . .)

I often wonder the same thing, I will write them as long as I can and maybe longer. ; O)

Cheers. Once I get going the questions will flow! Thanks for the offer sidekick.

Thanks Labman, I'll will certainly take up your offer at some point! Your dogs are gorgeous.

You're welcome. I'm a movie fan too. I'm looking forward to Red 2 coming out in the UK (it might not be enough of an action movie for you! but so long as Bruce Willis is in it . . .).

I'm stuck on the niche (I have several ideas but am not sure if they will be money earners. I have to get over the 'perfectionist' attitude. . . ). I'll check out affiliate bootcamp and probably start there. I've been doing this for too long, spending too much money, all with very, very low return.
Looking forward to making this work!

Well you are in the right place, we will get you turned around. The bootcamp is definitely a good place to get rolling and I do recommend if you can't come up with a niche, you start there. This training will teach you the skills you need not only to promote WA and within the make money niche, but going forward you will be able to apply these same skills to any niche.

It is great to have you here at WA! :)

You're welcome!

Thanks Kyle. I have just spent a little while on the site and have already found much of value. I appreciate you setting this up and I look forward to being up and running soon. I do ask a lot of questions so will definitely need to upgrade to Premium within the seven days!

That's great to hear!! And do ask questions as you need them, there is absolutely no point in every feeling stuck!

I look forward to working with you and when you do upgrade to Premium, I know you are absolutely going to love it! :)
