Upgraded to yearly premium!

Hello WA World! I've decided to use my stimulus for my business and upgraded my account to the yearly premium. I know a lot of people are using their money to buy random household items, or food for takeout, or anything else that they feel they want/need during these times of crisis.

For me personally, I invested in myself. After almost 2 months here at WA, I've learned immeasurable knowledge, had the help of so many others in the community, watched every video training from Kyle, written numerous posts on my websites and engaged with the online community throughout the world.

I can't describe the feelings of success when you just know that with time, you will achieve the success you've worked hard for. While I've only made $4 so far, and now with Amazon dropping their commissions drastically, I still know, without a doubt, that this year will be my year. I will be successful, I will learn to make money through the avenues I've studied so far, and the people that doubt me now will regret it with time when they come to see that you can be successful from home.

I've had a lot of close family and friends that have told me that instead of focusing online right now, I should be focused on finding a "job". I questioned this mindset and debated my case.

"What is a job to you?"

"It's a place where you get up and go to work, Katrina."

"I do get up and go to work though, every day. I get up at 9am, I workout, then I jump on my computer and start work."

"That's not a job, Katrina. That's just playing on your computer."

"But I'm not playing, that's the thing. Do I want to get up every day and get on my computer? No, I actually don't. I still callout sick, but I don't have to physically call out, I simply tell myself I don't feel like getting on my computer today, and I skip the day. I've done this 4 times now in 2 months. What I do is work. It's hard, it's frustrating, I'm having to learn something new, I have to be accountable to myself. All this makes it "work". You're telling me that because I don't physically leave to go to a business from 9am-5pm, that I don't work?"

"Yes, what you do isn't work."

"Okay.....so how are authors successful? How about the creators of Google or Facebook? Are they not successful people because they didn't go to a job from 9-5?"

"But you're not creating Google. You're blogging. There's a difference. Plus, you haven't made any money have you?"

"Well, actually, I've made $4, thanks."

"Ha ha ha! See! You haven't made any money, so why do it?"

"Well, let's see, I did an internship for 2 years when I was studying Nutrition to be a doctor. In order to finish a doctorate, you need internship hours. I completed 2 years, going to a docs office every day, Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm. I didn't get paid, but I physically went to work. Was that considered work to you then?"

"Well, yeah. You went to work everyday."

"How is that different from what I'm doing now? I'm basically an intern until I learn more, to be successful. I see it as the same."

End of conversation with that person.

To me, what I'm doing is absolutely no different from any other job I've had in the past. I'm investing in ME! I'm learning everything I can, working every day, watching as many videos as possible. In the beginning, I told myself that I would only join for the 7 days for free because that was all I could afford. I would learn everything I could in that initial week. I completed the first course in 3 days. After that, to continue to learn to make money and with the power of knowledge I had gained in those 3 days convinced me to buy in for just another $19. I would continue to learn everything I could within that first month.

It came time to renew. The payment was declined. I wasn't finished. I was only on course 7 and needed more knowledge to continue to gain my power to be successful. Now almost completed 100% and not even had month 3 run yet, I invested the yearly in myself because of what I'm learning and where I'll be at the end of this year.

To everyone that has doubted me, I will show you that I will be successful and I will prove that through hard work and dedication and growth, that my future lies with my business. I don't need to have a corporation use me for another 5 years and just throw me away when they're done with me. It's happened 3 too many times and where does this leave your path, your life? In another 15 years I'll be 55 - how easy do you think it is to get yet another new "job" at 55, to convince yet another company that you are dedicated, you're smart, you're a hard worker and you will make that business money for your measly salary every month, never gaining that residual income for yourself and your future.

Not me, not today or tomorrow. I believe in me.
