One Year With WA - The Journey Has Only Begun

Well, 1 year went by really fast. Like Flash fast. A year ago, I was huddled up on the loveseat at the foot of our bed, and I was furiously tapping away on a tablet (I had no computer) trying to construct one of my first blog posts ever. Everything was so so so slow on that tablet, but I had finally seen the vision that IS marketing in all of its forms and I desired a piece of it, my own business.


February dawned, and with it Valentine's Day. My husband stretched our budget and bought me a computer for V-day. I am still grateful.

I built 3 websites (all blogs by nature), I joined multiple affiliate opportunities, I wrotes 1000s of words, and am STILL in the 90th percentile of words published according to the site content info. I got thrilled over the very first $3 that I saw from someone clicking one of my links and purchasing. I completed over half of the certification training, decided I could handle more and took on the Bootcamp training. I was wrong, and still haven't gone back to finish either.

I have made ALOT of mistakes this year. I have earned some money, but not enough to matter. BUT I fell in love with marketing, and have gone on to pursue network marketing specifically. I LOVE IT, and I am good at it. I have grown incredibly in the past year. Spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. I ended 2018 realizing that sometimes you have to grow yourself, before you can grow a business, or a team. I have taken every single lesson to heart. In the end it doesn't matter that I didn't become a millionaire in 2018, because I have the rest of my life to attempt millionaire status (LOL). What matters is that through my WA experience, and various other experiences in this past year I have seen deep needs I ignored in myself and have taken those to God. He has placed some of the most interesting and influential people and circumstances in my life this last year to finally move me towards confronting, healing, and reviving things I desperatey need to face and conquer. For the part that WA has played in all of that. Thank you.

Great story! And those weren't mistakes, they were lessons you got while learning how to be successful in this crazy business. Keep up the great job!

What an awesome journey, Leah and thank you for sharing.

Best wishes for the coming year, where you build on the foundation that you have laid.

Alex.

Happy 1-year anniversary Leah!

Keep up the good work!

You are doing great, but you are missing so much by not finishing the training. You will only make it harder on yourself trying to optimize your websites without the knowledge you can get from the training.

Thanks for sharing the first year of your journey at WA.

Congratulations on the growth you've experienced in so many areas. When there's growth in one area, it often triggers movement in other parts of life.

I wish you great success!
