My son is also a member of WA. He claims it is hard to come up with content for his blog. even though, he is going thru the training he claims he still struggles. So, I thought about some ways to help.

Therefore, here's my take on being an entrepreneur with Wealthy Affiliates,

Military Training

A few years ago I was in the military and I was studying to get my airframes and powerplant's license. To clarify, this is a license that is required by the FAA to work on civilian aircraft i.e. the airlines.

While I was in the Navy, I worked as a powerplant guy. That is to say, I worked on the engines and fuel systems of jets and helicopters.

I went to school for it, that's what I knew, and I had done it for eight years. I was good at what I did.

However, I was weak in the airframe section I knew enough to get permission from the FAA to take the test. In other words, the FAA requires you to have permission and to have some knowledge before you start taking the test.

Therefore, on test day there was a general test, an airframes test, and a power plants test. Now take a guess at which test I did the best on.

Was it the general test, the airframe, or was it power plants that I'd studied for eight years.

You might be surprised at the answer. Consequently, I passed the general, I almost aced the airframe I think I got a 96 on it. However, I failed the power plant and why is that?

The Technician in You

When you ask yourself why I failed at what I knew best? You will see the answer. That is to say, if you're an expert in a field, sometimes, it is real hard to write about something because Mr technician stays involved.

You see, my problem was when I took that powerplant test I questioned the test and question the answers. Because I knew better.

Fast forward to my experience in Wealthy Affiliates. I've found that it's easier if you write from your heart not from your head. Don't get me wrong, knowledge in a subject is very important.

But, ask yourself who is your audience? My point is just talk to your audience you don't have to be a technician, you have to be upfront and genuine.

Now, I realize that I'm new at affiliate marketing and blogging. That is to say, I haven't done it as long as some wonderful people in this family. I also realize you may already know this but someone needs to read this.

Entrepreneur Or A Technician

Michael Gerber in his book the E myth talks about being a technician when you need to be an
entrepreneur. So, which are you an entrepreneur or a technician?

That's a big question. You see a technician knows how to write and knows what to write about. On the other hand, an entrepreneur owns the business, runs the business, and knows
everything about your business.

Sometimes, you need to be able to walk away from the technician and look back on the business. and perhaps your writing will be a little better and a littler easier.
