Just dreaming?

Am I just dreaming, or can I make any money doing this?
I don't mean walking in the sea with a monkey. Can I sell my books? Easy to write them, not so easy to sell them though. It is not explained when you aspire to publish a novel, the work starts when you scrawl (or type) The End. It is far from the end!
I am proud of a few things in my life, so far, my family tops the list. Following my stroke, my long suffering wife and our two young children really had it hard. We lost homes, businesses and all our money. We are all still battling, but things are looking a bit rosier.
Writing my first novel made me feel good, yes proud in fact. Playing cricket at international level pleased me no end. I should explain, it wasn't England I was playing for. At that time, Thailand were known as an emerging nation, which meant they were allowed to field a number of foreigners. I was lucky enough to be selected. What an experience that was, we played in Napal. We didn't win the tournament. For the record, we lost to Hong Kong, and UAE. We drew with the hosts in a rain effected match. And we beat Japan.
Now at the start of a new chapter in life. Wealthy Affiliate. Can I make a success of this? My wife and children certainly deserve it.
I will gradually work my way through the courses, which is no hardship, it is fun!
My financial dream - to earn more than we spend! Simple enough? Or am I just dreaming?
It's taken us (including my wife in this) more than 11 years to understand cricket (there's a reallllly long story here; if you're curious let's PM) and now we're big, big fans, especially of the IPL. Have never experienced a 50 or a full-fledged test, but that may yet happen if we keep this up!
About your blog: I sure hope not! If you are dreaming, than a lot of us are in the same boat. I'm counting on another several-month slog of training tasks and writing before I feel my website is ready for the public, and then I'll have a better idea about success than I do now!
Thanks Colin!

The thing that usually happens is that people become bored or impatient and lose sight of their dreams for one reason or another. Once the dream is let go, it is difficult at best to retrieve it and start again.
So dream and dream big, but never, never let go of your dream. It is your dream that will make all things possible.
