What A Wonderful Day!

Even though I have the desire to have my own business and by my own boss, I do have to say I love my full time job at the moment. I am a veteran employment rep for the state of PA. I am a veteran myself and I have always felt that we do not do enough for our veterans.

So I am thankful every day that I am in a position to be able to do something to help veterans. Today I had a veteran stop in to talk to me and ask for guidance. He has a service connected disability that is allowing him to be able to return to school to get a degree to get a better job.

When he was discharged from the Army, it was because he had intestinal cancer. They gave him 6 months to live. But through extensive treatment and surgery, he is still here with us 15 years later.

He drove truck over the road for these past 15 years, but because of injuries he sustained while serving in the Army, his knees can't take getting in and out of the truck and sitting for long periods of time.

So then he proceeds to show me all the things he has been thinking about and had written down and brought to show me. As he was reading off the list of things, he mentioned about hobbies. My ears perked up instantly.

Opportunity To Talk about WA

So my next words were, "Hobbies? Tell me about your hobbies!" I bet you know where this conversation is going, right? Well it turns out he loves to do woodworking. Perfect! I proceeded to tell him about how I got started with my online business.

He was interested and says "It's funny you mention this as I was just reading a book written about starting an online business". Coincidence? I think not!

It was so fun talking to this fellow veteran. I got even more excited when I got to thinking that with him being a woodworker, he can make frames. I have thought about getting a bit more into the framing side of things with my cross stitch business. He was open to that idea!

So it was a pretty exciting day and I have just sent off an email as I promised I would with the links to check out WA. It is so much easier to be able to tell someone about WA face to face and not have the skepticism. He could tell it's real and how excited I was and the fact that this has already been a thought in his head, I think I may have found my first serious referral. Guess time will tell!

I just want to end this by saying....

to everyone here at WA for all your inspiration and support. I feel so blessed to have found such a great community!

Best Wishes
