Ugh, Adulting
I couldn't sleep last night. My brain has been racing on and on about where I am in life and how to get out of it. I'm now in my late 20's, live with a room mate, and am hoping to get by paycheck by paycheck with the odd remote jobs I currently hold. It's a far fall from where I was in my early 20's, and I am not happy about it. I took a good look around me yesterday and realized that the people I surround myself with are in the same or similar positions. - Not where they want to be in life that is.. I couldnt help but imagine that there is something better. There has to be. Maybe i'm crazy for thinking that I dont have to live like this. Or maybe there's another way...
I'm dying to go on remote year and build my business from abroad- whatever that looks like. There's a program called Nomad MBA that's FAR out of my budget range. I decided this morning that i'm going to make it happen. Right now, I have three main goals- Make enough money to hire a mentor, then use that mentorship to make enough money to leave for Africa in September. When I come back, I will be financially stable and be able to live anywhere I want. I guess that's what my work with wealthy affiliate is. My deciding to go for it!
Dreams of a different life continue to race in my head. The closer I get, the more I yearn for it. Today I picked a theme for an affiliate marketing site i've titled "ugh, Adulting," which will provide all of the basic things young adults will need in their home when they are first off on their own. My mother used to send me these items thoughout college and when I graduated. I'm hoping it will help other's through their first years as adults, at least with the bottom line. Let's see where this goes!

Hey Halle, I just wanted to let you know how great of an idea I think this is! What’s crazy is I had a similar idea for a website about adulting! I pitched my ideas to some friends and acquaintances and they liked the idea of a website that would target them. I feel like young adults are always in need of help with something and it would be cool for us to have websites we could go to for help and ideas. Getting your first apartment is definitely a big step in adulthood. I wish you the best of luck on your website and I would love to check it out when you’re all finished!
Awesome Halle, there is an audience out there just a matter of tapping into it, that feeling stretches across the generations, the world is topsy-turvy and folks are all searching to create better outcomes, it all starts with that desire for change then all we need is the energy and knowledge to effect that change looks like you have a plan that you are laying down best wishes you can do it, expressing what we want to achieve gets us across the starting line and halfway around the track.
Came here via your feedback. Congrats on the new start, and on your goals. I believe you can and will certainly achieve them. Setting my goals led me directly to WA, inexplicably, which was to own my own passive income business. And it's on its way to my next goal, and my next... The path is not easy but it is a simple one... that gets easier. Just have to keep learning and growing each day. And always keep hoping, and focused. Don't get distracted. Even at WA, which is everything ever when it comes to starting and building a successful affiliate marketing business... there are occasional distractions (natural for a social community). I wish you guidance, and all the best. Take care!
