Hi and welcome aboard, it's awesome to have you join this awesome community!

I'm no one special. I'm not the owner, manager, or anything but a member and part of this freaking awesome community just like you are now! I'm Mike and I hope to get to know ya better!

The railroad tracks in the image above isn't just some random picture, it's one I found a while ago on Pixabay and saved, because it makes me think.

It doesn't matter what side of the tracks you are from, and it doesn't matter where you are on your journey, we all have a destination. And just like our destinations are likely different, so were our locations when we boarded the ride.

The internet offers so much opportunity for common people to reach higher than they thought possible, it's amazing! It's the great equalizer when it comes to building a future ! Online business is the best venue for the average person to generate wealth with no special background or education, you just need comitment.

And there is no discrimination based on race, sex or any of the other "categories" that are placed on human beings in our day to day lives.

What do you expect?

I know this likely sounds overly dramatic, but it isn't. YOU control your life, no one else ! It's up to you to punch that ticket that can take you as far as you want to go! And I hope you bought a ticket to the moon!

This training works! This is not a gimmick. it's a detailed education of something that has been done millions of times and repeated by millions of people, and many of which have become extremely successful! Will you be successful?

Will you be able to quit your 9 to 5 jobs that you hate, but are forced to endure because you have a family to feed? Will you climb that steep wall to get out of the pit of poverty by joining Wealthy Affiliate? There are no guarantees.

You will get the education and support to go as far as you want to go! But the key is that you have to want it!

You have to put in the work and struggle sometimes as well as enjoy it sometimes! You will have days when you want to not even power up your computer. Those days are most important! Those are the grind days! But a grind day sitting at a computer isn't nearly as bad as a grind day at a jobs that you hate!

Some people don't have the "online background and experience". But that can be a good thing too! You will get the step by step training that you need to succeed !

If you want to make a better life by creating an extra income, or if your goal is to make this your career, you can do that! You can even become very wealthy with what you learn here ! The choice is yours! My personal goals is to live by passive income and travel with my family!

Whatever your goals are, you have to make it happen! The training won't do it! and the community won't do it! But both can help YOU do it.

It's not fast! It's not a get-rich-quick scheme (Thank God ! ) It takes time. But if you don't do this, what will you be doing? Going to that same job in 5 or 6 years?

Set your goals and go after them! If you have to scratch and claw your way through bad motivation times do it! You are going to have to earn it! The bigger the prize the more work it takes to get it! And the only thing it takes is a computer, and internet connection, and want to!

I wish each of you the greatest of success! If I can help let me know. But there is an entire community here that is ready willing and able to help you in any aspect you need! You can get help from Kyle and Carson.(The owners) as well!

Ask that question you have ! It's not stupid! If it stands between you and where you are going ask it! There are no dumb questions. As I've said before, I used them all when I started, so you aren't going to surprise anyone !

But the biggest piece of advice I can give you is very simple..

Do It And Don't Quit!

Best of success to you all!

Mike

Hi Mike,

Another outstanding post! I find I'm always looking forward to reading what you have to say.
True, I am a newbie and I've never had one moment's regret for joining this community however, each positive word, phrase and story only serves to further reinforce the decision to do as you suggest: "Do It And Don't Quit".

Susan

You are absolutely correct ! This is a journey. And perhaps after we reach our destination, we will wish we had enjoyed it more.

Have a successful day!
Mike

Great post Mike.

Mike, I love this post. Yes, some of us have been here for years at WA. I will have my 4th anniversary in WA next month. And "NO", I haven't met my financial goals yet. And it is ALL MY OWN FAULT. I quit working at it for too long, but now I'm back since SWAG training started this year. I'm determined that this year I will achieve success. Yeah, I've been here a while and I've seen members starting making regular income at 3-6 months. Many more in a year and some who are wealthy in my opinion at 18 months -2 years. They live only on their online income and live very well. They made it because they worked harder than I did for my first 3 years, and never quit and pushed on until they saw success. Many of those who have achieved their own success stick around to keep state-of-the-art knowledge and also to help others achieve their stated goals.

My goal is to make 10K extra each month, so I can give more to my missionary daughter and her family as they serve God while deep in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, set aside funds for my 3 granddaughters, my 2 small grandsons and for the new little one on the way. I want to donate to a women's crisis center I used to volunteer with; I hope to fund some travel for my husband and myself in a cool RV so I can travel comfortably (in my wheelchair) and with our monster dog, Bo.

When I achieve these goals, I will consider myself successful and then I'll hang around WA to help others.

So I push on, work hard, learn more, implement what I learn and I will not give up until I reach my goals. It is not easy but I will keep on truckin.

Who's with me and will stick it out until you achieve your success goals?

I am very proud of you.. I wish you to achieve your goals.. Blessings.

Sphirley i feel touched by a what you shared and I wish you all the best in your persuit. We think alike in many aspects.i am always thinking how nice it would be to have enough money to contribute to charities and causes that are dear to me. I hope we both achieve our success.

Shire your reply is far better than my blog post! It's motivating and humbling at the same time !
Thank you for that !

Have a successful day !
Mike

We all have some place to be. When we get there is not the point. It is the process and how we deal with it that are important.

PS
I borrowed part of that quoted from someone. It seemed appropriate.

Love this! Love the tracks to. They are part of all our stories. I am definitely on a new path and WA is my track.

Hate this website, I quit but forgot too cancel my membership and it charged my card 50$ and they wont refund me, Absolutely Ridiculous, I had to work at my job for those 50 damn dollars and now they won't give me my money, I'm not even using this website anymore at all, Little tip don't forget to cancel your membership when your done cause these money hungry people won't give you your hard earned money back.

I am sorry you had a bad experience but I don't know any business that will give you your money back when you didn't tell them to cancel your membership.

Really?? Are you new to the internet, you must be , that's a first, and absolutely bizarre that you don't know any business that would give a refund when they charged your card and won't give me my money back, im not using the site at all so why wouldnt i get my money back, absolutely crazy, ive gotten refunded before with other websites like audiobooks.com and some other bidding website.

Sorry, this happened but you know you should have canceled the membership and stopped payment to ensure you would not be billed anymore.

Wow you're actually taking their side?? Wow how unfortunate, you tell me would it really be that difficult to refund someday their damn hard earned money, how freaking hard would it be to give someone their damn money back, just to have the damn decency to give me my money back, MISTAKES HAPPEN, sorry Dawson that I didn't remember to cancel my membership, I should be punished by not getting what is mine back. How unprofessional of you, WOW!

How was WA to know you quit and wanted to cancel? If you decided to quit using your phone for a month, you would still be billed unless you canceled your account. Same for your electric, water, sewer and other bills. And if you quit for several months, guess what, you would owe all those companies for each month that you didn't cancel your account and service. That's life. If you had contacted Kyle or Carson that you wanted to stop payment and quit, they would have helped close out the automatic payment. If you had even canceled that cc or auto withdrawal, the automatic payment would have stopped also.

You're comparing utility bills to a website where I was using nothing, with water, electricity and those types of bills are charging based on use so that argument was very weak, I never said WA was supposed to know I wanted to quit, again very weak argument, then you say I would have still been billed??? Are you serious, if I canceled my account before getting billed Of course I would not get billed Again, when you pay for your membership you're just paying for another Month!!! Wow I'm shocked you really compared utility bills to a website membership WOW DELUSIONAL

Thank you, Mike ... I've been struggling lately, wondering if I had what it takes to actually do this affiliate marketing thing. I really needed a post like this.

Sincerely,
Jessica

Great motivation Mike! I was thinking of writing a similar post this morning about how WA really does work if you put the work in yourself. It is amazing since there are SO many scams and it seems too good to be true! The catch is that we have to actually do the work though. If we do, there is no limit to how far we can go.

Jessica

Thank you, Mike! Posts like these are the main reason I keep going. I wish you the absolute best!

Karin

Very good post! I had to struggle through a grind day today. :)
