Life Happens

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

I started WA about a year ago now. I was so excited when I first found this site, but life happened. I had so much going on that I couldn't focus on what I was even doing here in the first place.

I quit WA and focused on what needed to be taken care of at the time and got through the BS. I didn't quit WA because I didn't believe in it, but because of my personal issues.

Along with my real life problems I couldn't focus on building my business. I didn't make a $1 online and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong when it really was because I wasn't doing anything!

So yeah, I quit WA but I knew I would come back.

Even though I put my online business on pause and came across all these real world problems I always thought about internet marketing and how it was going to get me to where I wanted to be in life. I then decided to start all over. I signed back up with WA and did the 30 day workshop again.

While I was doing the tasks from the beginning I started to realize what my mistakes were and it just did nothing but motivate me! My website has been up for under a month now, but I am confident that it will do wonders for me.

I'm going to be away from the internet for another month but I will be back to continue my journey to online success. So to all of you out there that are having a hard time doing this business online, hang in there and DO NOT give up! I'll be back to share my success, cheers!

UPDATE: JUN2016

I completely forgot about this post and I don't even think I knew what I was saying here. Well, fast-forward to 2016 and I'm glad I have better things to talk about than what was said in this post.

So from the date I wrote this post (NOV2014) to now (JUN2016) I can finally say that I work from home full-time. I traded in all the stressful "jobs" in my life and I now run a solid work from home business.

If I can do it in that little time, I know you guys can too!
