This WA System Really Works!

I have always grown up to join the normal rat race of life. Go to school, get good grades, get a good job, and live paycheck to paycheck. This was not by choice of course, because our parents are ultimately the teacher of how we continue our lives based off of what we have learned from them. My principal during my freshman year of high school read us a small part of book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and my life changed after that. I was only 15 years old and I already knew that I didn't want to have to get a job and work 9 to 5 everyday for the rest of my life. This thought eventually slipped my mind until after I graduated high school.

I have been a part of multi-level marketing businesses in the past and knew that there was a much better way of life then the normal 9 to 5 grind. While in college i finally decided to pick that book back up and read the whole thing. The things that are said in that book made me want to find another way to earn money. Like I said I did multi-level marketing and network marketing. I even have started two businesses with a couple friends. I knew I wouldn't have to work the rest of my life. But just like life normally does, it pushed me around and I got jobs. Even though I hated the lack of freedom from them.

I looked into ways of making money online before and never came across one that would let me try it for free. Which was a big deal because I quit my job to move to another city and had only 1 rental as income. So being able to try Wealthy Affiliate for free is really the only reason I said I would give it a go. I went premium only 7 days later and now have a great website up and running. Most online businesses don't really give you too much training where WA has given me so much training I am not even sure what I am going to do with all of this knowledge I have gained.

I was a tad skeptical at first because I have been promised many times online that there program would be beneficial and they just weren't. They promised traffic and I never got any. I have been a part of Wealthy Affiliate for a little over 2 months and I get traffic to my website everyday. It isn't a ton of traffic just yet but it is some which is more then what I saw from other companies I have tried online. I have also made some money with my website from Google Adsense, so I know that there system works and as long as I keep following all the training I know the money will follow eventually.

This is a big thanks to Kyle and Carson for creating something that can and will change my life.

I will be successful online and I know that Wealthy Affiliate is going to be a big reason why.
