Taking the First Step
The first step is usually the hardest to take. We resist the urge to try yet again only to fail. So what is different than the other 1,000's of times I have tried to make money online?
Support!
As a vegan I battle daily with being a lone wolf in my dietary choices. I think it is funny that I cause such a ruckus because I eat natural, raw foods that we were designed to eat. Anyway, its not a easy life sometimes, I feel alone with no support. So when anyone reaches out to me for help I am there to give all I can.
I have already noticed so many people in Wealthy Affiliate that have this same desire to help others. It is really a sigh of relief to know that there are so many people here to help.
Besides learning how to deal with all this anxiety I am also learning how to face my fears. For example: I do not think that I am a very good writer. My thoughts go all over the place and it takes me hours to write a few paragraphs. What if people don't like what I write or want to be argumentative? I'm sure its going to happen but do I really want that to be the reason why I don't provide for my family? I think not.
Being different!
You know what I really like about my idea for my website? It doesn't tell you what you shouldn't do in terms of your diet. I like to ask questions to get people to figure things out for themselves. It is much stronger of a message that way and they are more likely to follow their natural dietary plan.
I also tried following so many different diets and you know what I found? Eating on a diet is really expensive! Its one of the reasons I designed my diet the way I did. I wanted anybody to be able to do it. You can follow my diet for about $6 to $12 a day! And you can find the food everywhere! No special stores to go to!
Goals!
Another thing that I am learning is that my short term goals are constantly changing as I learn. My overall goal is to work full time from home which I think is the goal for most of us here. My short term goal is just to do the assignments I am given when they are presented.
Best of luck to all!

Also, WA is such a positive place,which is so refreshing. I have just barely started but feel confident and supported with what I have done already. Cheers!
Thanks so much for sharing so candidly. I have a daughter that is vegetarian. Also another one with lots of allergies. So I have followed their lonely plights as well. I sure can appreciate what you say about being alone. So good for you sharing so much to help others. Cheers!
Interesting. My daughter us off milk products and gluten. She us definitely doing better. Thanks for the advice.
Your goals and heart's desires are tops!
And your website idea and creation is great. Keep it up!
Hi Charley,
Glad to know that you are a vegan. I also practice to being a vegetarian but I take eggs and dairy product. May consider to be a true vegan one of these days. Beside smoothes you may also share your vegan recipes with our WA community.
Keep it up.
Charley, you are an inspiration and I will be argumentative as I strongly disagree that you 'cannot write' as I wanted to read your blog to the very end! :) Great post. Thankyou and a great topic too. I agree, I had a health scare in April and I went raw vegan for a little while and while we thought there may be an illness to attend to the dietary differences are accepted, yet as soon as you know you are OK, you are left with the feeling that you are just a bit of a pain :) I am sure you know this well . Keep writing about a great topic. Thanks. Best wishes, Ali
I like your approach regarding letting people decide for themselves based on the information you make available.
I think you will do well with nutrition .
A lot of people want to make changes to their diet but don't know how.
It appears you have the answers many are looking for.
The fat, sick and nearly dead video on youtube says it all.
One of the things I miss about the Navy is the support. You've really pointed out why we are here! Your blog was well laid out and you can feel the passion you have. Excellent voice for an article.

My daughter can relate to how you feel - she is a vegetarian living among a bunch of carnivores. But you are doing what you believe in, whether it's eating or in business. So, I say, go for it!
Your daughter is a smart girl! I just saw yesterday where the World Health Organization declared processed meat as the number one cause of cancer. Which is why I guess 1 out of 3 Americans get it.
It's sad that we think we are carnivores because nothing in our biological make up suggests that we are.
It really is amazing how much info we've been "fed" (forgive the bad pun!) over the years. I am actually looking at my own recently developed health issues as a chance to make some big changes.
