You Sit On Your A. All Day! WHAT?!?
"You don't work "OUTSIDE" the home..." "You don't have a "REAL" job..." "What is it that you actually "DO" all day?..." "You stay home and play online all day..." How many of you have actually heard these phrases? Why is it that people can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that it is possible to "GET PAID TO WORK" from home?
The point that I want to touch base on today, is that no matter who it is that tells you that your work isn't as valuable as theirs is, they are wrong! So Wrong! Putting your heart and soul into starting an online business/website, or uploading videos on Youtube, or whatever services you might be offering, are ALL valid forms of employment.
If we were to open up a Daycare, we would be viewed as "Business Owners." If we were to rent out some space and serve coffee, we would "Own" a coffee shop, right? So spending hours learning, (and implementing what we've learned) in order to break ground for our Internet presence, should it not be viewed as "WORKING?" Spending 12hrs per day creating content, engaging with followers on Social Media, researching different niches, and affiliate partners. (I will admit, I have received a handful of pictures I never anticipated receiving as an Internet professional, but I shouldn't be judged for someone else's lack of judgement, right??).
I just wish that others (especially those closest to us) could understand the amount of work that is required of us, before we can start making money! That, as much as they think we do, we don't just "play" online all day!

I was a scaffolder for 20 years until 6 months ago and that is genuinely the hardest and most physical job of the construction industry.
I would be working in all weathers, wind, rain, snow, you name it I've worked in it. As someone who has never really touched a computer up until 6 months ago when I joined WA, I have to say this is all really hard work for me but with the help of everyone here and the training that is provided it just makes things that much easier but it is still harder than when I was scaffolding, longer hours, more to think of, more organisation.....the list is endless.
So when I start making so much money that I cant spend it quick enough 9and I will get there and that's a certain) that's when my wife will understand what I have been doing for her and my boys and realize that all the hours I have spent on the computer was really all worth it.

Yeah, no kidding! I used to work in a warehouse, and yes, this is harder! But when I went to work, I didn't get phone calls for silly things, or was expected to do certain things, as I was "at work". My husband and kids understood that. Now, it seems, my kids "get" that I am working, but my husband isn't overly supportive of it. So getting him to understand that I am "working" while on my laptop, is almost harder than running my business! Ugh!
