Useful Skills for Success
The majority of people in this world will believe one of two things: either that success is guaranteed, or that it is earned. For the former example this may be true; you may inherit your parents businesses and become a wealthy entrepreneur and live a life of excess and lavishness. For the latter you will have to bust your hump day in and day out for the majority of your life to simply provide for yourself (and a family if you are so lucky).
If you are lucky enough to have all of life's mysteries solved by the presence of money, I solute you! Congratulations on winning the genetics lottery. I hope that your life is filled with fulfilling trips to Fiji on a private jet and many winters spent on the slopes of Vale (I know, this is a very very broad generalization and I mean no offense by it).
For the majority of the population, myself included, it is essential to put forward our absolute best effort in order to live an above average life. Whether it be holding down two, three, or even four jobs at the same time we have to do whatever it takes to bring our lifestyles from a C to a B-. While this is, "fine and dandy," I have always wondered if there is more to life than working several minimum wage jobs to attain the lifestyle which I yearn for. For the past two months I have spent my free time researching what the answer might be.
I am fairly certain that for the majority of Wealthy Affiliate users the different options for passive income have been looked at and thought of to the highest extent. Whether it be the Amazon FBA program, starting a website from scratch and on our own, or even taking on a business loan in order to "Be Your Own Boss!", I believe that I have found the ultimate secret to this long asked question. The answer to this secret is actually located in the upper left portion of the page you are currently on.
I believe with 100% certainty that Wealthy Affiliate is the answer the majority of us have been praying for. This is our opportunity to capitalize on our investment, to network with like minded people, and most importantly to bring our lifestyles to an above and beyond level. I am talking A+ lifestyles people! But do not think for one moment that we can forget the hard work ethic which we were raised to maintain. Rather, this journey will require even more work and dedication. Do not be deterred though, as the benefits will be exponential in value and it will pay off in the end.
As always I would like to thank whoever has read this entire wall of text and I wish you all the absolute best in every one of your business ventures.
Thanks for reading,
Devyn A Hudoba-LaRoque

The biggest keys to success that I have seen over the years have been three seemingly SIMPLE items.
(1) Hard Work. People work hard in their day to day lives, whether it is raising their children or putting on their work boots/suit to go off to work. Then when it comes to business, there is the expectation for things to just happen. For it to be easy. For it to happen overnight.
Hard work and sustained hard work is one of the biggest keys to success!
(2) Focus. There are so many things that you can do online to earn money. There are so many niches you can be involved in. There are ideas pulling at every single one of your limbs.
It only takes ONE idea, one website and one niche to be very successful online and that is one of the biggest focuses within our training here. Be great at one thing, not mediocre at many.
(3) Time. Success won't happen in a day, or a month, or even a few months. Success is the result of your hard work now, which pays dividends later.
A person can spend 10 years in a job for a $1 raise, but they can't invest a year into their own business because they treat it completely differently. They treat it like an "opportunity" or a "scheme" when in reality, if you give yourself time to achieve success it will absolutely happen. Giving yourself time is a critical aspect to success.
Great post here Devyn!
