So, I joined Wealthy Affiliate in May 2016 having bought a few domain names at inspired moments. I also was looking for a way to not work at an office so I could stay home with my then 5 month old son. I looked at several services specializing in web hosting and traffic developing but they were asking for LARGE sums of money up front. I found the month to month option at Wealthy Affiliate attractive and subscribed. My money goal then was $100,000 thinking I would have a ton of time an energy to dedicate. Ha!

Little did I know how demanding motherhood is and how quickly naps fall away. I also found myself without a laptop when I left my day job. I took advantage of the Black Friday 2017 offer but did NOTHING until a couple of weeks before I had to decide whether or not to re-up at WA for 2018.

My son started a part-time toddler program in October 2017 and my family really started feeling the financial pinch of my loss of income. I considered all of my options, being grateful to have a few, but ultimately decided to jump in with both feet here at WA with the goal of getting my sugarsobriety.com site income generating ASAP.

I am finding that if I jump in as soon as my son goes down for his nap and stay connected DAILY that I am having forward movement and my feelings of overwhelm and fear are falling away.

This path is NOT straightforward nor easy peasy. I am accepting that there is a big time commitment to backscratching within the WA community by offering comments, feedback and building social media networks. I do see the value of paying forward and I am appreciating that there are so many other women in my situation and sites in my healthcare / personal growth niche.

I still have a lot to learn, but I am looking forward to gaining enough expertise to really contribute trainings. I have benefited from many other Affiliate trainings.

So if you are new to WA, welcome. I do not recommend a lengthy stay in Procrastination Nation, but we are human. It happens. Take comfort that you can always choose again and start TODAY.
