It all started two months ago. I was on-line pursuing an internet business that had started showing signs of being a scam. I googled the organization with the question, "Is _______ a scam?" I was reading some online responses when I came upon Kyle's review of the organization and introduced me to a different opportunity to try for free. That was Wealthy

I started the free courses which were very exciting. I started building a free niche website in Siterubix and that got me hooked. By the time I finished the free courses, there was no way I was going to leave this exciting platform. So I upgraded to Premium and bought my own domain for my Siterubix website. The journey was on. But to where? As I began the journey, the destination I had in mind was success, and the signposts that I was on the right road was money. So with that mindset, I embarked on this journey.

In my desire to see the financial signposts as soon as possible, I took a niche that I have very little interest in, but one I thought would bring in the money very quickly. My thinking at the time was that the things I was passionate about would not lead to money. I made my first mistake by pursuing something I had little to no interest in.

My rude awakening occurred about a month into the journey, when I started having trouble coming up with posts. Several times I have struggled with the desire to change the niche, but I am too obstinate. I rarely give up on anything once I get started. So, silly me, I have decided to stick with it until I finish all the certification courses. After that I can start on something else.

With such an attitude, is it possible to progress? Well, I consider myself to be progressing. In fact, if you ask me, I am already a success. You see, I changed the signposts for confirming that I am on the right road. It is no longer money. It is a feeling of satisfaction. And I am really excited and satisfied with my journey so far.

Let me show you why . . .

My 2016 Goals

When I wrote my goals at the beginning of the year, my Wealthy Affiliate Rank was 2340 and my 3-month goal was to get it to under 2000. Now, it is 342. So, I achieved my 3-month goal in less than a month. My 6-month goal was to finish level 4 of the certification courses. Although, I have not achieved my 6-month goal, I am sure I will achieve it in less than a month from now.

My New Goals

Consequently, I was forced to set up new goals. My 3-month goal now is to finish all the certification courses and my 6-month goal is to start and at least finish level 2 of the Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp courses. I had started the bootcamp courses, did the first course but realized that being a slow learner and taking both certification and bootcamp courses at the same time was confusing me. So, right now, I am just pursuing the certification courses.

What a Journey!

So far, I have not seen any financial sign and it is no longer my main concern, but it is still in the equation. Nonetheless, money does not define who I am and it is not the ultimate definition of my success. I love Wealthy Affiliate and the wealth of knowledge that it has to offer. In fact, I can put it this way, my knowledge, love, and community that I have experienced here in Wealthy Affiliate far outweighs any monetary value that may be available in any other platform. Not that I know any platform in which I would have gotten money faster, but just saying.

It has been an enjoyable journey, so far. I am yet to see and experience more of it.

Bye for now!!!
