Increasing My Competence and Confidence at Wealthy Affiliate

JohnV

Published on February 11, 2014

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

My ambition for my 'third age' career is a successful online business.

I first started working toward this about five or six years ago, as a complete internet novice. I spent the first five of those years making most of the mistakes that are out there to be made, as well as inventing a few of my own.

Then, late in 2013, I made my first really sensible decision. I committed myself to making a success of being a 'Wealthy Affiliate'.

Well, the truth is, that I have not yet earned my fortune here. That being said, I know for sure that financial success is only a matter of time+effort. Being certain about moving in the right direction is an incredible feeling.

Quite soon after becoming a premium member, I decided to follow both the 'Getting Started' and 'Bootcamp' trainings, in parallel.

Having now completed the first two courses in each, my results comprise two basic websites: http://makemoneyinlaterlife.com to promote WA and http://personaldevelopmentbroker.com to allow me to pursue my life's passion for life long learning.

What can I say?

Work is no longer work! Every day, I log into WA and wonder where the jouney will take me next. The course 'work' itself is a joy to follow - detailed and logical, while the interaction with the positive community here keeps optimism and motivation high.

One great secret of success and happiness is being conscious of, and able to express, gratitude.

The level of gratitude I feel to all who contribute here is difficult to quantify.

My mission is to express that gratitude, by helping and encouraging others, so they can experience the same.

Thanks and regards to all of you.
