Life Changing

I'm just polishing off Level 2 of the Certification courses. I feel a bit like 2013 has been one of those years in which your life turns down an unexpected path and you either fight it or embrace it.

My husband and I have been living frugally to save money to buy a home, in the midst of this we decided we wanted to relocate to Northern California (from SoCal) and we got a surprise pregnancy! Our daughter will be 26 months when the little man joins our family.

These things lead to me to wonder if I wanted to continue plodding along in my current profession. I've been successful, but taking things to the next level would require a lot of my time spent on the job, away from home, giving up time with my young children, my husband, my friends... my dog! ;) Is this what I wanted?

Truth be told, no, I really don't even like what I do, so to give up my time to chase a career path I don't even like seems ludicrous, at best. Thus began my hunt for something I would enjoy, make some money at, and get that valuable family time- and low and behold there was Wealthy Affiliates!

What do I know about the internet, marketing, creating websites, etc? I know how to be a consumer! ha ha As it turns out, that's not a bad thing. WA is supplying me with the tools to learn how create a niche website, the nuts and bolts behind it, and how to build traffic to generate revenue. All I have to do is share my experiences with other consumers! That is something I can do!

So, what are my plans for the next 3 months? 6 months? My plan is to keep plugging away. To keep taking courses, to keep learning from my compadres at WA, to start generating some revenue. I'd love to be able to quit my 'day' job when my son arrives (that's in about 20 weeks) and to keep building my internet business. To be in a position that I don't have to go back to a day job, although I wouldn't mind working some weekends at the wineries in Apple Hill, close to where we plan to move!
