Living With Chronic Pain & Trying To Earn My Own Money!
Hi, It’s me; Iris G. Owner and Creator of mmo-with-iris _ 4eversilky:). I started this online business because I have a chronic illness. I am in constant pain and have to take more pills than I can count, every day. I’ve had my better moments, and in those moments I’ve always tried to hold down a “normal” job but always failed because of the pain. I frequently had to go home sick or call in sick and eventually every boss or manager would come to the same conclusion;
‘we have to let you go, not because you’re not good at your job but because you are sick way too often and we can’t count on you’.
It hurt every single time. Even though the last few jobs I should’ve definitely known better. But I’ve always wanted to make my OWN money so so bad that I would try the whole ‘job thing’ over and over again. Then I found Affiliate Marketing, and everything changed.
Now I work From Home, From My Bed:)
Finding WA was a one in a million and I am still so grateful I found this platform with its wonderful community. I feel so supported and cheered on. I've never experienced anything like this with an online platform before.
I often think about why I didn’t try this online marketing thing sooner, but how could I have known? I didn’t think I could set up an online business like this all by my self. I didn’t know it would be this easy. And to be honest, without the help of WA and you guys, it would have been too complicated for sure.
My New Life
Now I can start a new life, working for myself. If I have a bad day or a flare up, I can just sit back and relax (as much as that’s possible) and I don’t have to worry about having to call in sick. I work for Me now, and Me will understand when I'm having a bad day and need to take a rest. But even when I'm having a bad day, I still find myself able to create. I find myself writing post after post and feeling so proud and diligent about anything and everything I manage to produce. I never thought I'd find a job where I could work from my bed and still be able to work even on the bad days.
I don't make a lot of money yet, but I only started about 3 months ago, so I know it will come if I keep putting in the work! I really hope that one day I might make enough money to support myself and I don't have to rely on other people! Fingers Crossed!
Thank you for reading this, if you made it this far haha. I hope you have a wonderful day!
X- Iris G.
PS. Don't let the professional pictures fool you, it took a hand full of pills to get me on that set and smiling. I lay in bed 99% of the time and we're still searching for a way to cure my very rare auto immune disease. also for that; fingers crossed!

What an inspirational post Iris. I am so sorry for the pain that you constantly feel.
But despite your situation, you always give 110% to make your life better, I'm not sure many of us can truthfully say the same.
Take care my friend and remember to reach out when you need to, but I have a feeling with the mindset you possess, you will be able to help countless others here.
I thank you for the wonderful response Iris, if we keep on trying, then failure is never an option.
Self belief is key when running our own businesses, you seem to have this in abundance, but if you ever feel the need for any extra encouragement, I am here for you my friend.
Iris, you still are showing that determination and positivity that I observed when I first connected with you.
You will do it !
There is no doubt
Continue to be proactive
Continue to be positive
Let's show them :)
You're a tough cookie Iris
Remind me a bit about myself :)
I know you will do it
I will always believe in you
Great post, thanks for sharing, Iris. I've sent you a PM with a link to a Blue Scorpion Venom product that is supposed to support the immune system and reduce pain. Perhaps you haven't tried this yet. Best wishes, Jenni.
Hey Jenni, no I've never heard of that before I will definitely check out your PM, thank you so so much!
X- Iris G.

You are determined and your perseverence is admirable. Sorry to hear what you are going through and I know how debilitating pain can be. I hope there is something, somewhere that you can take to take all that away.
You are doing well and continue to do so, great job Iris.
Thank you so much Helen, your kind words really lift me up and inspire me to keep going!
