Knowledge is power

When I found WA I was in the middle of searching desperately for a job that would provide a livable income. I already had a small business going so additional self employment was a reasonable option for me as the job search was not panning out.

Desperation can really skew our judgement and view of reality.

I've always understood that WA provided an education that would prepare a person to become an online business person. Because my need was great I convinced myself that the results would come quickly.

I've asked a lot of questions and I've irritated at least a few people in my quest to understand what WA is to me. I understand that I don't really understand how some people seem to work it so easily while others claim to be ultra-focused but still income-less as far as their site goes. I understand that the tools are here. I understand that people succeed in online business. I understand It will not come quickly for me.

I wish I could pay $25 monthly and have access to less. Maybe limited hosting and lessons and blogs only. I'd happily do without the live chat for a lower monthly fee. Anyway, now that I know that this business will grow slowly I'll have to decide whether or not it's a good use of the time I have right now.

There is a season for everything and everything is not for every season.
