Spending months Looking for the best online business training wasn't how I thought it would start! Not at all ! In fact there was some time that I figured it wasn't gonna happen period ! As I have pointed out to the community here several times, I had a couple of failed attempts before it clicked! And that's what I'm gonna throw on the table now!


Sticks, stones and Books and DVDs

Everyone knows that "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me " line by heart ! You say it whenever someone is saying things that are rude or hurtful. But just like me ,I'll bet you guys never thought words could literally hurt you ! But that was what was close to happening, litterally! Or at least hurt your ability to pull from resources.

You see my first attempt at learning how to construct a website was a self made deal with Google search and YouTube as my resource. (Insert plane crash sound here!) And as you might guess it was very short lived and frustration set in quickly, leading to my business attempt crashing ! But one good thing came out of the You Tube and Google Search resources, or so I thought !

I had been hearing, reading and watching info about this program that came with all the training aids you would ever need and as well as a bunch of video tutorials and training guides, written materials etc . That is where I really became cynical about reviews! There were reviews everywhere saying that this "program" was the end all, be all of online business training! So I bought into it ! And to be honest I could take it right now and run with it! To a point.

What is that point? Easy ! The point is where I got stuck and needed to ask someone a question !

Pound for Pound Value

You see this other " system or program" has a lot of value and it will likely do what they claim. Or at least some of it. There is real value in it, but not for someone like me who had absolutely no idea what online business was or how to get it started! That's where I bring up the point of the question in the last section. Simply being able to ask a question and get an answer is sometimes the most powerful part of any training!

If you are taking a very complex course in College there is a professor or instructor standing somewhere or at the end of an e mail for that reason. When you get stuck, you ask a question, get the answer and move on! If the local university only gave out an outline book and some videos , you couldn't ask that question and you may have to find out somewhere else, or get frustrated and quit.

The powerful yet simple aspect of asking a question and sometimes getting it real time and sometimes getting it answered in a video or your inbox or e mail is the thing I like most about Wealthy Affiliate!

There are likely some here who know which program I am speaking of, and others don't. In fact just last week I was considering a comparison blog post as aWealthy Affiliate promo. I didn't for 2 reasons.

The first reason was that I didn't get far enough into the training to make a truly informed decision and I'm too busy to finish it now and waste a month in order to do the comparison post. The second reason is that I made a decision when I started my physical service oriented business 20 years ago that I was going to follow what I call the Golden rule business plan.

No matter your religious affiliation or none at all everyone can relate to treating people the way you want to be treated. That is the golden rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Since I wouldn't want someone making half informed judgements of me and downing me for no reason, I will afford them the same respect. That doesn't make me special or perfect. But I sleep well.

Best Online Business Training -For Beginners

I can however say with all honesty that when you take the discussion to the subject of absolute beginners, Wealthy Affiliate trumps the competition! I can say that as someone of authority since I was a beginner and had both programs and went belly up with one . The fact that I've made incredible progress with Wealthy Affiliate is my point I want to make here !

Anyone can do the tasks and training here ! If you can function on Facebook you can build an online business and do well with it !

The video tutorials with Kyle are Great! The tools here are great !Site Rubix and Jaaxy make things so easy! The entire course is fantastic! But the ability to ask a question and it be answered by a member of the site, or one of your followers is great ! And guess what! If by some chance you don't get the answer quickly, you can contact the owners and ask the question, and get an answer !

That was the first thing I really understood at Wealthy Affiliate! The reason everyone wants you to answer questions . Because no matter what you think, the most powerful thing that is leveraged in pretty much any business is answers to your questions! That was the reasons for my 2 failed attempts. No way to get the answers to my questions.

I would strongly suggest Wealthy Affiliate to anyone who wants to learn how to start an online business as a complete newbie, or even if you have some experience even if I never make a dime from it! Remember the golden rule?

Thanks for reading !

I have never tried to build a website before so really I have nothing to compare it to but honestly I don't think there would be another program out there like this.

Mike you are golden I was also lucky to find Wealthy affiliate and love every aspect of it. They are always ready to help and are always upgrading the site and the tools needed to succeed. I am fairly new but now have 2 websites and am part of a few affiliate programs. If I can be of any help to you with my years of knowledge on the internet and Information technology just message me or I am in live chat a lot.

Good Luck James Evens

It is so true Mike, the great thing is it doesn't matter how silly you may think the question is, people always answer you will great knowledge and respect, making you feel more comfortable to ask further questions and so the learning continues, making it a much more productive and authentic way to create an online business. Great post.
All the best

I totally loved this thank you

Knowledge, resources, community support online business and lifestyle here we come. Some hard work for sure, well with the effort, WA makes it possible to achieve, thanks for the reminder Mike.

Wonderful, Mike, I too come from a place of knowing very little and as you say the training and support here is second to none. Enjoy your journey to success.

Great post and amazing training. Very true indeed

If I could explain the exact process I have taken to get to this point it would take quite a while, because I went the wrong direction several times. But after I started actually putting the pieces together I began growing the confidence I was lacking in the beginning, because now I know that some of the greatest successes come from the greatest of failures !
But if someone gets frustrated and quits, it's all for nothing. I want everyone to succeed and get what they want out of life , so my message through all of this is simply, Never give up!
Have a good one
Mike

Thanks

Great post. Is truly. If you learning. Thanks for share​

The reason I share what might be seemingly strange content is to chronicle what I've done and how I've struggled. That way others who are struggling will know they aren't alone. I have a long, long way to go! But I'm closer today than I was yesterday and I want everyone to get that.
Have a great day !
Mike

Great post. What made the decision for me was the great training, community help, free membership option and very low cost premium membership but the one thing that told me to give WA a try was the “this is not a get rich quick” pitch. I feel WA is very honest about what you can accomplish and doesn’t promise unrealistic results.

That is exactly right !
What people sometimes don't get is that the content of the site, your site, and the people who use all of the tools and training may have different results. It doesn't mean that you're a failure if it takes you longer than someone else. It might mean that you don't have as much time or some other reason! You just have to keep working on it . And above all, never give up!
Were all people and people are different. But I believe we all have the means to succeed if we put in the effort!
Have agreat day and thank you for your positive comment !
Mike
