From Shortlisted to Winner - Proof That the WA Training Works
Published on February 17, 2026
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
A few months ago, I received the message that one of my websites had been shortlisted for "Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards" by Luxlife Magazine. Being shortlisted alone reminded me that the work we do quietly, consistently, and with integrity truly matters.
Today, I’m honoured to share that I’ve won the award(s): Best Sustainable Weight Loss Coaching Platform 2026 and Habit-Based Wellness Excellence Award 2026
What makes this award even more special is that the nominated website was built entirely following the WA training, step by step. This is another proof that the training and tools offered inside WA are working.
I’m sharing this here not to brag, but because I know how many of us sometimes question whether we’re “doing it right”. Whether the structure works, whether the framework is enough, whether consistency will actually pay off.
We’re so often tempted to tweak everything, overcomplicate it, or compare ourselves to other marketers online. The fundamentals we are given inside this platform are solid and when applied correctly and being consistent, your website can become an authority.

What made the difference wasn’t genius. I built my natural health brand around who I truly am.
If you’re in the building phase right now: keep going.
If you’re refining your messaging: keep going.
If you’re doubting whether the structure is enough: it is.
This award is proof that you don’t need a completely different system. You need consistency, dedication, hard work and the courage to trust the process.
I’m grateful for this community. We’re all building something meaningful here, and it’s powerful to see what happens when we actually implement what we’re taught.
To our success,
Maria
