I'm not sure if this is where this goes or even if this is the right content type for a blog, but I know I gotta start getting the hang of writting in general and this is what's on my mind, so here goes nothin'!!

Since joining WA my outlook on my future and day to day life has changed drastically. I am beginning to see some light at the end of my tunnel. These past few months have been raw for me. I finally realized that I was burning out sometime in February.

I grew up in a broken home, been working non-stop since I was 13. I can't remember the last time I took a vacation. I often look back and wonder where the time went and never had 'a plan'. What did I do with all the money I've made over the years, how come I have nothing to really show for all the work I had done. I was raised to find a job...the idea of a career never crossed my mind so a plan to me, for me, was nonexistent. I've worked for the Board of Education, Summer Youth Employment Campaign as a tutor at 13 & 14, Jeans Plus, a jean and sneaker store from 15-17, the NY Telephone Company from 17-19, USPS from 19-21, US Navy from 21-24...the rest is a blur, I've been bouncing around job to job feeling unfulfilled. Get tired of one found another, often working 2 at a time, leave one go straight to the other. It was nothing for me find work, learn the job get good at it. I began to notice that I get bored quickly and had a problem with people in authority ABUSING that authority, so I would politely leave.

Welp, I kinda regret hastily leaving those jobs without a game plan other than weasling my way into another 'job' or better yet pursuing a career. It was reckless and I now know that I shoulda stuck them out a little while longer, develop a plan for a career or simply find my passion and make that my business. What was happening is that I let too many things bottle neck inside, surpressed too many things and worried too much about what my family and friends were gonna think about the decisions I'd made instead of following my heart and nurturing my skills. My last year in HS I wanted to become a NY City Police officer then a detective, retire and be a PI. Mom woulda had a heart attack, so I didn't. My desire to become as a cop...null & void.

Most of my experience is in manufacturing, using my knack for understanding how to operate the machinery that produce the very same products people use everyday. Now at 49, no pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of, I realize it's time I made a change whith my mindset.

Technology and the internet has changed the way the world does business all around. After being a member of WA for almost 7 days, I wake with ideas bouncing around in my head, some about niches (I gotta stop that, niches can be found all over the place), what kinds of products I wanna sell & whereI'm gonna get them, what my target market is be, what kind of videos I wanna post, how & where I'm gonna get content for my website from.

I'm still in 'bootcamp' lesson 1, but I've learned soooooo much since I started. I finally got plans!! I am taking my time and going through each part at least twice before moving to the next. It may not sound like much but, it's a big step for me and a small successful at that...baby steps, baby steps.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...I indexed with Google within 7 days. That's gotta be a good thing.
