Jay's ALIVE-versary: Year 4
Hi Folks,
Today (Jan. 1st, 2019) marks my 4 year ALIVE-versary which basically means my 2nd chance at life is 4 years old.
On Dec. 31, 2014 I ended up being admitted to the intensive care unit with pneumonia and invasive Strep-A in my bloodstream which was causing toxic shock to my organs.
I was pretty messed up as you can see by the image.
I was not expected to live.
I was told by the medical staff to ensure my affairs were in order.
PULLING THROUGH
But through the magic and wonderment of the universe - I ended up spending the next 28 days in the hospital healing and was able to walk away from the darkness that was before me.
Who cares.. why am I tell you this?
As 2019 sets in, I am reminding myself to enjoy the simplicities of life and rejoice.
BEING POSITIVE IN YOUR JOUNEY
I am also reminding you to cherish what you have right now, and to celebrate your accomplishments in life AND business.
There are certainly roadblocks that will occur as you build your online business. But what about all the amazing achievements you’ve done since starting WA?
- Decided on a niche?
- Bought a domain?
- Built a website?
- Wrote an article?
- Learned some SEO?
- Ranked your website?
- Made a single sale?
As small as these may seem, they are amazing accomplishments as I am assuming you had little (or zero) knowledge of this prior to joining WA. It is these small victories that will keep you moving forward to whatever form of success you are working toward.
HOW I WAS ABLE TO STAY ALIVE
Circling back to my 28 days in the hospital, it was small accomplishments that kept driving me to success. Success in this case was walking out of the hospital alive.
- I woke up the next day
- I fed myself
- I sat up
- I breathed on my own
- I walked 10 steps
- I went to the bathroom on my own
- It was these small milestones that pushed me to success.
2019 IS YOUR YEAR
So for 2019, I want you to celebrate small accomplishments in your online business as it can drive you forward to pave an amazing successful path.
Let’s start it off, comment below on what is YOUR most recent successful milestone!

Thanks for the post, Jay. One thing is it does put everything in perspective. I like how you take the time to smell the roses (small victories) on your way to what you would consider big wins! (Like staying alive)
May the universe continue to bless you. I thank you for all the hard work you put in to help each of us be that more successful.
So glad you made it through your hospital confinement okay. We need you around for a while!
Most recent successful milestone -- finally got that dratted GDPR compliance thing settled. Took me 3 weeks, because I kept making little mistakes during set-up. Ignorance slowed my progress. However, it's all okay now.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. We are so glad you are here to tell us about it! Thank you for the message, and thank you for the training webinars! Have a great new year!

Wow, Jay, I had no idea how close you came to not being with us anymore! I think sometimes it takes coming close to leaving this world that helps you really truly appreciate the little things in life. We all tend to become complacent with our lives, taking for granted the small things that bring us happiness and joy each day. We always want more and rarely look and acknowledge how far we have come in our life's journey. I appreciate you sharing this life altering story with us and reminding us to reflect on our successes and the small things that bring us joy, happiness and peace.
Hopefully, you have no lasting effects of the sickness and only the continued reflection of appreciating what's important in life! Happy New Year my friend!!!
We both have a lot to be grateful. Was in a similar situation in May '15. I had MRSR, pneumonia, and a collapsed left long. I was put in a medically induced coma, and they told my husband it was touch and go.
But here I am, and there you are. Thank you, Jay, for reminding me just how blessed I really am.
I'm glad that you got well. Getting this sick puts everything in perspective, It was behind me, and I forgot about it.
Happy New Year Jay!!

Jay, congratulations on the fourth anniversary of your "re-birth"! I can't imagine what it was like, but I count myself blessed that I have the opportunity of you being my coach.
On my end of the "boat" I have a seven day old brand new grandson. Someone that I can can coach through his life.
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Wow, Jay, thanks for sharing this incredible story. It goes to show how we should treasure each day and enjoy doing business and being with people we love because it is all hanging on a gossamer thread.
Your friends in Ecuador,

WhoAA, nice to hear you recovered my brother. Things I personally took for granted could've been gone.
We want you to get well Jay. I will pray a strong recovery.
