Making assumptions

Recently I wrote "An 'inappropriate' question" and received a plethora of responses. I received advice, encouragement and something that seemed an awful lot lot like chastisement. No one, however, asked me what I was getting at. I was looking for information that could aid me in making the best decision for my family at this time. I wasn't doubting WA, I wasn't looking for a lesson on how to start a business. I was just trying to find out if this is the best place for me to be now.

Occasionally there can be a few individuals that may not quite understand where your questions come from, but don't stop asking when you're being genuine. There are a lot more individuals here that have been where you're at than not! Personally, I love your questions, comments and posts. I can really relate to ya' and am glad you're here!

Thanks. Those were very encouraging words!

You are on the defensive. I can really tell you are frustrated and got your feelings hurt. Please understand that nobody is here to hurt you. As your said in your last couple of blog posts, you had one idea (make money NOW) that was driving you. As far as that being a goal here, it is unrealistic.

I believe I may speak for others too that just wanted to clarify this and get your turned around. Only you can make the decision. As for me, I know that frustration you are experiencing not making money yet. I have gotten false starts with other online marketing programs, learned some things, but finally realized that they were full of baloney and just in it to make money from me buying more of their programs. (Those programs were VERY expensive). I just retired. Shortly after I did, I started a jewelry selling business, which is off to a slow start. My husband it now telling me that I need to bring in another $1000 a month to avoid having to drastically change our spending. THAT puts on pressure. So I keep up my jewelry business, made a commitment to help lower our monthly expenses, and take my business online. So in effect, I have two jobs and am going to school here. It is lots of work.

I am hoping you can see that the decision for each of us is very personal, and often with lots of angst. I would support you in whatever choice you make. I just truly hope you can get past the hurt you are feeling and realize we are trying to help. Decisions can be tough. And sometimes it helps to have somebody who is straight up and tells you the truth as they see it, in order for you to make a balanced decision.

My feelings aren't hurt. I misunderstood how things work here and now I understand better. I think I'm as turned around as possible. I'm not frustrated because I haven't made money yet but I was frustrated when I realized I had misunderstood and jumped into WA with haste. I am not a fan of social media because it provides the perfect environment for miscommunication. We as humans really need facial expressions, body language and tone of voice to understand one another. Text alone provides the opportunity for us to assume that the person writing is thinking and feeling what we would think and feel if we were presenting the same words. Where that might be true sometimes, I'd go so far as to say it's not usually the case. I'm not hurt, mad, frustrated or discouraged. I simply have to evaluate the information I've gathered and figure out if now is the right time to pursue this business.
