Greetings Success Engineers

First, let me say thank you to all the military personnel who paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us who live in the US to lead safe productive lives. I also know that there are many other patriots who fought for the freedom of people all over the world. And, as this is a diverse multi-cultural community I know many of you here at WA also honor those who died protecting your freedoms as well.

I wanted to take a few minutes this morning and talk about my laptop lifestyle. You see, as the picture above shows, my laptop lifestyle comes from my backyard at our pool, not some exotic beach resort or island somewhere else in the world.

And, I'm not really living the laptop lifestyle yet and won't be for some time. But, I'm ok with that as I know this business will take a while, maybe even a few years to fully develop.

The things I've learned thus far here at WA far out way any college degree I ever earned ( and I have two ). My writing skills have improved greatly since June 2018 as have my ability to do critical thinking about subjects I know nothing about. If there ever was a process where you need to be flexible, versatile and proactive, this affiliate marketing business is definitely that.

The Community

I've read many success posts which always improve my moral and I've read the posts of people who have become frustrated after years of trying and have decided to quit WA.

The only thing I can say is, if you are thinking about quitting, take a break for a few days and when you come back, reach out to other members and get inspiration from the community. I've been able to improve my rank to "57" by just engaging with the community and acting like a sponge, absorbing and responding to everything I can.

I know rank doesn't earn any money but it shows your ability to interact and assist others.
By assisting others it builds our confidence to help others with our websites. After all, our first objective is to help others and that should lead to making money.

The Super Affiliate Challenge

Since starting the SAC I've pushed myself like never before. Even though I hit all the marks in month one I still think my organizational skills could be much better and now in month two I'm behind because of personal life interruptions. Gonna have to play catch up this week, but, that's ok because I know I can do it



Happy Memorial Day Everyone! Stay Productive!

When I read about success of young guys I'm really happy. But when I read the stories of people of your age (I don't mean you're old :)) - that's what really motivates me !!! You are not afraid to start smth new and you are always going forward and this is my inspiration ! I'm sure that you will successed ! Wish you all the best !

Hi, thanks for commenting! I haven't quite made it to the "old" category yet, however, it is approaching quickly. Age is just a number for me. I still hit the gym 5 days a week and this stuff is relaxing and fun. One of these days I'm going to make some money doing it too!

Thanks again,
Cal

Hi Calvin,

A great post ! Thanks for sharing! it is great when you know where you are going even if you are not there yet. With hard work and perseverance you will get to the finish line.

Kind words of appreciation for our military men and women who protect our countries. Thanks for the share!

Much success to you!

Kind regards,
Nichola

You're welcome Nichola, and thanks for commenting!

You are welcome!

I do appreciate the service of our military and for their sacrifices that they have made to keep us safe here in the US. I still am having trouble with my laptop, which I hope to fix the first of the month. I did not serve in the military, because it was a bad time for those who served, I was of age and planned to join, until how I seen our service men and women treated they way they were after Vietnam. All they did was what they had to do to try to win, but our government would not do what they had to do to win that war, so I didn't serve. I am going to do what I can with limited resources, my computer, to do what I can on the challenge. You are right " Don't ever give up and never surrender: good things take time, there is no shiny object syndrome here at WA just how to make money online the right way through hard work and learning. Well I am through ranting and raving, just my thoughts for today. Thanks for your service, thanks Sruffey.

That was an awesome, productive rant! The laptop issue is of utmost importance right now. I don't think I could do this on a tablet or cell phone.

Thanks for commenting!

Having the certainty of knowing your destination means that you can enjoy the journey so much more. I know I'll get there in the end. Nice post Cal, well chosen words.

Thanks Twak, we will all get there one day!

Thanks for commenting!

I haven't been here long and I love the community. This is a great place. And the learning is second to none.
I look forward to the day I can help others as well as earn a respectable living as you said "living the laptop lifestyle". Hard work pays off.
Happy Memorial Day!
Wanda

Thank you Wanda, I hope you have a great Memorial Day as well.

We've done it! Back in the US now but this photo shows me waving while having a pool party at the house we bought in Mexico and lived in 2005-2010. Other people are Mexican friends. We lived very inexpensively and sold the house for roughly what it cost us. Internet was pretty good there and we both worked a lot on our sites.

That's awesome Rosans, thanks for sharing and commenting!

It's a great journey, isn't it? Takes us places we thought we'd never see. Hoping success finds us.

Absolutely, I like challenges and this is a BIG one. It's pushing this old brain further than I thought capable.

Ditto.

Loving your laptop life!, It is my dream to one day be sitting working on my laptop in the sunshine looking out to a pool, or the sea! For now, I am at home in a grey UK. for now ; )

One day Sarah, it will happen!

Thanks for commenting!

Can't wait till I post a similar picture to yours!! Have a wonderful day!

We've had that pool for about 10 years, I just thought was neat to post from my backyard and not a resort somewhere...just shows you can work this business literally from anywhere.

I hope you have a great day too!

Loving the laptop life style ... i myself tried playing out how it would feel leading a laptop life-style whilst in Australia on holiday but it’s safe to say there were far too many distractions on the beach ... All the best on the SAC

Thanks, you too and thanks for commenting!

Yes. We have to be patient and put in the work in order to succeed.

Happy memorial day and thanks for sharing.

All the best!
