Hi all, today I'm sharing with you all my first year badge earned with WA training program, I managed to stay here for one year and now the plan is to be here for the whole second year, lets see what the time brings. I've been thinking about leaving as most of us did I suppose and this down to the believe that as the time goes on I realize more and more how hard it is to make any money at all in this business. In my first year I've made so many mistakes that correcting them all takes months and months. Also didn't make a dime in this first year but I suppose this is the case for over 95% of people here of which 93% leaves this place pretty quickly. If it happens to you that you will read this text and have good advice on how to turn things around please write comments below, thanks a lot :)
