What a Ride!

Wow, what a ride so far!

My journey at Wealthy Affiliate has been rather unique actually. I was first involved with Wealthy Affiliate about a year and a half ago. After taking advantage of the free week and then the heavily discounted first month premium membership, I was quite impressed and wanted nothing more then to move forward with this great business oppurtunity. However, seeing as I was 14 at the time there were 2 main things standing in my way. The first being my parents weren't fully on board with this, I can see why. That made it difficult to be confident with this oppurtunity. Second of all was the money issue. My parents were not going to pay for it (understandably) and purcashing the yearly membership would've used up all of my money. Now I understand these are both excuses, I don't do excuses, and if I really wanted to go forward with it I would've. Fast forward to now, I am 15. I made a good chunk of cash over theis past summer from starting my own lawn care business. I had enough funds that I was confident in investing some of the money I had earned into Wealthey Affiliate, my parents also seemed more open to the idea. Especially after running a few questions by my uncle who is an accountant.

Now that you have the back story I will talk about my experiences since I have started the second time (about 2 and a half months ago). I have gotten immersed within the community (again, haha), have launched my first website and have published 6 well done articles on it. One of which has been indexed by Google. It took me a while to start the training again because I had already completed some of it when I started before. I really just wanted to get my website up and running with some content. I have started continuing with the training as of about a month and half ago or so.

I am trying to put as much time into this as I can although I am very busy with school, hockey and going to the gym 5-6 times a week. I still have some room for improvment as far as how much time I am putting into this goes, although I am doing pretty well. I understand that success won't happen right of the bat, I am prepared to keep working until my premium membership has expired. From there I will have to make a decision as to whether or not I should renew basd of my succeses.

I am loving this great platform and business oppurtunity, the community is awesome! I am loving it just as much as I did when I orginally started if not more! I plan on continuing to roll out content on my website, continue training and all the other things that need to be done in order for me to be successful! I truly do have an entrepeneur within me!

I do have one quick question for all of you who may be reading this. Because I had finished the first training course and had gotten a bit into the second one when I started this originally, I didn't start the training from square one when I got back into Welathy Affiliate. I am afraid this may not have been the best idea because although I remeber the basics I feel like their is some information that I have forgtten. My Google indexing hasn't gone exactly how I would've liked it to have and I feel like this may have been a contributing factor. As I said I wanted to get my website up and running with some content seeing as I already knew the basics from when I had originally started. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what I should do? Listed below are some ideas I have:

1. Continue training from where I am because the beggining training was more so just basics

2. Go back and just watch the videos from the training I had previously completed

3. Go back and do the training that I had previously completed entirely while continuing my current training

4. Start from square one and go until I reached where I started my training the second time, then continue from where I am now.

5. Or I could go back and just do the tasks that are important to my business such as watching important videos or learning proceses and not the stuff like replying to peoples comments or posts because I already know and do that stuff.

I am very open to your input of my ideas and any different suggestions you may have. Thank you all very much for reading, it is much appreciated!
