I am real - seriously a real person

Hello WA members,

I Am Real

We communicate through a virtual world here at WA which in today's world is become the norm for life.

But I am wondering how many of us really think about the people we are communicating with?

Every day I look forward to seeing the people who have become a part of my life through the Wealthy Affiliate platform.

When they are not around I get worried wondering if they are alright are they taking a break, have they become ill, or did something happen?

Fortunately for me I have found a few members who in turn worry about me, this is a feeling that makes you proud to call these members your friends and virtual family members.

I have on many occasions sent PM's to members who have not been on the platform for a couple of days checking on them to make sure they are alright.

They have in kind done the same for me, this is greatly appreciated with my disorders and they know about what I am talking.

Seriously a Real Person

What I do not understand in our platform is how some people act toward others with such uncaring about their feelings?

When,I was lucky enough to find WA I was at one of the lowest points in my life, losing my husband in January of this year so unexpectedly I was a real mess.

Wanting to always have an online business in affiliate marketing this was a dream come true the day I put my name and email address in and found a real platform with training.

Within the first 48 hours I had my credit card out and joined as a Premium Member never looking back.

After being here for around three weeks I started to venture over to Live Chat when I would have some free time, not joining in just reading along.

This gained me even more knowledge about the online world not only that I was able to quickly connect with some people that really know what working online is all about.

Are You Real?

My question to you is "Are You Real?" did you join Wealthy Affiliates to build a business online but not care about the community to which you are a member of?

Are you here for the glory of ranking within WA walls and posting daily about them?

Are you here to help others along their way and make their success your success?

Or are you someone who sits and every time you see someone has successes wanted to know why not you?

These are questions that go through my head on a daily basis - our community is made up of many people from around the world.

Some of us are not as smart as the rest and it takes us much longer to learn and become successful.

Does this mean that people who have reached a level of success should look down upon those who are not as fortunate or lucky as they are?

Seriously Are You a Real Person

In writing this blog post what I am saying to you is please take a look inside and put yourself in the other person's shoes in this case many people's shoes before you write or say something.

Everyone can be offended by the slightest thing or by nothing and this is true but when we are dealing with our community members thoughtfulness can go a very long way.

We all have a bad day once in a while and take things the wrong way and feel others should overlook our faults this should hold true when it is the other way around agreed?

Ask yourself prior to writing a new blog post for the community if it is something that is business like and professional are others seriously going to gain from it?

When answering questions try to keep things in line as a business platform should be and if you do not agree with something that is fine we are never going to agree 100% of the time.

When,I am wrong I find the humility to apologize to the person I have wronged this is proper etiquette needing practiced on a business platform.

In Closing

This might be the silliest blog post anyone has ever written here in WA but today I just needed to get these things out.

I rarely ever post a success post - "Why?" my humility does not let me I feel there are many out there inside our community who do much better than I do.

My life has always been about helping others and that is what I shall continue to do outside WA and as a member of WA - need help just ask.

So now I feel like I am rambling so sorry just to everyone out there:

KEEP IT REAL - PLEASE!! :)

Thank you,

Susan :)

Susan

Hi, Susan my real friend :)
I spend hours like you do helping out and reading most blogs.
The only ones I tend to skip are the ones I feel are not relevant to business in any way.
When I joined WA, I left behind Social media as a place to spend time in as there is so much mindless stuff on there I now wonder how I ever did that and I never watch the news as I am over all the negativity in the world.
I am 60 and have lost people I love, had serious life-threatening illnesses and what goes on behind my closed door stays there when I am here.

I joined WA to learn everything I can about becoming an Online Business Owner and that is my purpose for being a premium member here
Helping people and growing and learning is all part of this awesome journey and thank you for being a part of my life Susan
You are awesome
Vicki

Ms.Vicki,
You are the most awesome person I have had the pleasure to
meet and become friends - no part of my family here!!
I know that many here do not think about members as humans
but as just other members but keeping it real is something we
all need to strive for here in our community!
From my point of view, this is a business platform and we are
here to help and support one another are we going to make
mistakes yes we are - and I am able to apologize for mine -
hoping others can do the same :)
Love you as always you are the bestest person in my world :)
Susan

Hey girl so are you and keep being you ok cos people love you here in WA
Shine your light for everyone to see my friend and thank you
Vicki

Vicki:
I read your comment with interest, and found it interesting and one that I can identify with, in some ways. Particularly since I get the impression that you've decided to take this on, to the exclusion of other activities. It may be that consistency and hard work are the key to success (or at least a helpful portion in the recipe...!)
Thanks for your comment, it was most enlightening.

Hi Hugo
Yes, When I joined I set some serious targets for my progress and I have stopped doing anything that doesn't help my business grow.
In my head, I know what I want and I am on a mission to reach all my targets and this is working well
Here is quick video training I did if you want to take a look All the best
Vicki

We are real Susan, and we are glad you are real too. It is understandable to wonder about the intentions of the people with whom you rub virtual elbows with on a regular and I hope and pray that you find that there are so many, actual, real people here. I have interacted with a lot of them and I know that you are one.

Blessings ~ Frank & Tina (free4life)

Frank & Tina,
Thank you for that you guys are great love your blog posts and always stop by to read them.
Thank you for connecting with me tonight I appreciate it :)
Susan

Absolutely, we are family and friends here. : )

Hi Susan

This is a wonderful post and yes I do think of my fellow members as real people as I have an amazing sense of belonging here and it’s thanks to the community here.

I am only a private message away for someone to let their troubles out and I have offered this in discussions many times.

I’m glad you wrote this as I’ve been thinking about this topic for a few weeks now and reflecting on how much WA members mean to me.

Thanks for sharing Susan

Best wishes

Darren

Darren,
Thank you for connecting with me I seriously appreciate the
fact that we can come together here. :)
I am hoping that now we can become friends as well I have
given you a follow and look forward to working with you.
Thank you and all the best.
Susan

Susan, not only are you real but you are an inspiration. What you say is so true. It is so important that we support our fellow members here in WA. When we help each other, we all move ahead. And, no. it was not at all a silly post. Keep on doing what you are doing. We are the benefactors. It is up to us to give back to you when you need it. Glad you are here.

Fran,
As always you are a wonderful friend within WA and I am very proud to know you and will always be around anytime you need
any help :)
Thank you for being here for me and others it means so much :)
Susan

Hi, Susan, I am a live person and I do understand what you are saying, in the real world we tend to be caught with the cares of life that we sometimes forget that there are people that are lonely or hurting and just a kind word will do them the world of good. your post was not foolish just thoughtful.

Ruthlyn,
Aaaww thank you so much yes and it does not matter if it in our virtual world here or real life we all need someone someplace that shows they care :)
Thank you so much for coming and sharing with us.
Susan

Your post is not silly. You made quite a few valid points. You are a true dear person, and I miss chatting with you.

I agree we all need to realize that we're all human. We all will make mistakes, but how you point that out to someone is what needs to be done with etiquette. Think about how you would want someone to point out a mistake you've made. Sometimes in public, isn't the best avenue to take. And as Susan said, if you're wrong, apologize.

I've seen way too many egos in Live Chat---YES I said it. And that's why I only go into chat when I know the majority of the people.

Excellent post hun, again I agree,
Laura

As always my friend you are one of the best love you my dear :)

Awwhh thank you. Love you to gf!

Lovely post.
One way I look at life's unexpected events is to think of them in terms of energy. When something great happens you are all fired up and energetic. When not so great things happen the same energy is their , even at times even more energy. What most do with that energy is move that in negative feelings, destructive thinking. If you change your mind set and think of it as purely just energy that is created, then instead of spiraling downwards when not so nice things happen. You can now empower yourself instead and use this boost of energy to push yourself forward. Honestly when nothing happens that is when your energy should be lowest. Have a lovely day.

Sam,
Wonderful way to look at these things, thank you :)

Aw, this is very nice, I care. I think you have empathy and kindness. I have virtually met some really nice people here and am quite sure that is for reals. WA reaches out to this heart and the community here has a foundation by helping the team succeed. I love how you put it, very nice again.
Thank you,
Nurse Becca

Nurse Becca,

Thank you for reading and liking my post very kind of you :)
