This Old Couch

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

Just recently I've gotten to the point where I can't stand looking at my worn out old couch which was bought second hand about 8 years ago and has had the privilege of being jumped upon my many of my kids and their friends. Well now my kids have grown up a bit and all besides one have stopped jumping on the couch (Hurrraaaay!). It can tell lots of stories and brings back great memories but still enough is enough........
So I decided that this ole couch is going to be my inspiration to making my first $500 online. I'd like this to happen by around April when we have here in Israel our Passover holiday and it's the time to renew and refresh the house. All being well I will renew my couch with money earned from IM in honor of Passover.
And guess what? Since making this goal, my old couch has become beloved to me! It has become a symbol of perseverance and every time I see it I think about another idea that I have for my website. Yep, this ole couch has become a real inspiration.
So wish me well and I'll keep you posted when I get the new one :)
