As I Learn

As I'm Leaning about how to make a website and start my own business, I get more and more proud of myself.

I have always wanted my own business, just didn't know how to start or were to go or even who to talk to. So I would always give up and dream. I kept seeing my friends and others start there own business, why couldn't I? I would hear people making money on line and ending up quitting there 9-5 jobs. How are they doing it and I can't figure it out? So I would play around on the computer, and search how to make money on line. It would pull up, "10 fast ways to make money on line". And as I have no idea what I;m doing, I click and check all 10 out. By the time I got to number 10, I was more confused than when I started.

I tried the pyramid scams. Oh, let me just say what a joke that is. I'm trying to make money and they just want me to spend money. "Buy this to get a list, Buy this to get a partner to help you," yada, yada, yada. So much so that I ended up maxing out my credit card and yelling at the partner who was supposed to be helping me. So now I have even more dept and I'm still not getting my pie of the pie.

Now that I have been burned. I am very slow going with anything on line.

A few years go by and I'm still watching my friends grow in the business and having a life, while I'm doing the 9-5 beet, getting tired and angry.

I had it. I'm getting my share. I got back to searching. Now it's all blogs, and surveys. No, thank you.(which is crazy that I'm doing this blog). I tried the blog thing and it to cost.

Now that I'm wiser, I was scrolling through all the ads of " get-rich-quick scams" and I clicked on a link that came to wealthy affiliates. I am total skeptic. I read all the reviews and look up the BBB, and even talked to people about it. It all seamed to check out so I sing up.

I was happy to see that I could get started for free. I had no idea how to build a website, and my husband wasn't sure I could do it either. As I started the training, I was getting it. I understood what to do and how. The videos were really good for me. ( I'm Dyslexic, which means I read things backwards and see numbers and letters backwards.)

I started to gain Confidence in my self. I was running through the first few training steps. I was on fire.

My husband noticed that I was doing something on the computer, and said "what are you up to." I looked at him, (with a big smile on my face) and said building a website to start my own business. He came and sat next to me to see. I was proud to show him. He was very impressed with wealthy affiliate, and the training I was getting.

After that, He had my back. I told him about being a premium member and he said do it. At this time my computer started to act up. It was going slow and it would freeze up, and do crazy things.

I had to stop. I couldn't use the computer anymore. I felt let down. I was finally doing my dream and of course this happens. The longer it took us to save for a new computer the more down I felt.

By Christmas my husband went and got my Christmas gift. Yup, a new computer, not just any computer windows 10. I was ecstatic. He handed it to me and said " get your business going". I was so excited I didn’t wait a sec. I opened up the computer, set it up, and got back on wealthy affiliate.

I was off-line for 6 months. But when I got back on. It was like I never left. My training was still there my website was still up and I was still getting encourage note's from Kyle.

I am still doing my 9-5. I come home and jump on the training. I soon will have it generating money and I will build more.

I have learned so much from Kyle and his training. I am proud of myself again. I have my confidence back, and I can show my daughter that once you have a dream, to never stop tell you get it. When you get your dream, Make a new dream and go for it.

Way to go Melissa that is awesome, I really like hearing about journeys like your one.

Even though the odds are stacked against you, you have kept going.

The support of your husband is a real plus.

I can see good outcomes on your horizon.

Best wishes.
