Confessions of a New Guy

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I remember it as though it were a few days ago....the “new program smell”, the thought of doing something proactive for my family and myself. I stumbled upon WA and did the first course halfway thinking that I would go no further, that this was surely a way for the upper echelon to make tons of dough while I toil away and pay out more than I would make.

Something started to occur to me as I plugged along through that first course...I noticed that people actually cared about my progress! This community wants me and the multitude of others to “make it”! I decided to take the plunge and go premium. Granted, I am still in course 2 at this point, but I am psyched! I am learning so much useful stuff already, and it’s only the beginning! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me as a member here, although I have a feeling it will be great!

For all of you folks that have just joined and may be a bit skeptical, take the plunge! You too will learn to love the people here, and to feel their wanting to see you succeed, as others have helped and rooted for their success! Take a chance, it will be so worth it!
