Sick of the Hamster Wheel....
For as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to be my own boss. Although I have had a mountain of ideas, unfortunately I never had the money to see them through. Consequently I was an active participant in the "rat race." Funny though, I could never seem to win that race! From Monday through Friday my life was a daily cycle of getting myself and my children ready in a mad dash every morning, driving 30 minutes to work (coffee in hand of course), working 8-9 hours to line someone else's pockets, driving 30 minutes home, doing household chores and finally flopping down on the couch for an hour before falling, exhausted, into bed - just to start it all again the next day. I truly felt like that hamster stuck in the wheel.
Then it all changed! As a result of a couple of family emergencies and a very unsympathetic boss, I walked out on my job. Yes - I said it, I walked out on my job. Pretty stupid thing to do in today's economy. Now what? It is next to impossible to find another job right now, especially when I live in a small rural community about 36 miles from the nearest city. As I found out the hard way, most employers will hire people that live locally rather than out of town, especially here in Iowa where the winters can be pretty harsh. I decided there is no time like the present to start realizing my own boss and work from home. I searched the internet, only to be inundated with emails offering my thousands of dollars a day for only a few minutes work. I may be silly enough to walk out on my job, but even I am not that gullible. Then I found Wealthy Affiliate University. Sure, I researched the heck out of it (even had my husband research it and he is in law enforcement). Once he gave me the go-ahead, I was off to the races. I absolutely love the comprehensive training program here and I know that with a little hard work WA will turn even me into a successful Affiliate Marketer.
I have been here about a month and I am amazed at what I have learned so far. Sure, there have been frustrations along the way, but I absolutely WILL NOT give up. I know I will be successful. Thank you WA!
