When the unexpected happens

When I started last year, It was after I had tried doing many other things. Now the thing is, once you have a child, you realize that as a parent, you have to be available for them. We all begin something because there is always a reason behind it.
Today more than ever I had an epiphany. I thought that I knew why I needed WA, until I was contacted to pick my son up from school. Then I realized how important it was for me to be there for him. I realized that the reason I am doing this is so that I can be ready for anything that happens in the future.
We all have a great opportunity to share with others and we are at an advantage in that we are learning skills that are valuable to us for the future. The future is changing drastically and being a WA member you must make sure that everyday you keep working on your niche.

Journey
The journey to getting involved in Affiliate Marketing took a long time for me because I did not know how to go about it. I do not have much support where I am for my child as daycare is a challenge to get and a nanny is expensive. I had to commute to work and rush back to pick my son, I was always late or I had a really upset child almost every day. This had an impact on how I felt about my life and I wanted to do something different.
Life felt a little dysfunctional for a period of time and I had to stop and ask myself what my priorities were. I actually enjoyed my job but I needed flexibility which was not something that I could easily get.
I had to make the decision of putting family first and it has not been easy for any of us, however once you make the decision and keep moving forward, you realize how everything just works.
It's far from over, but I am glad I began and I look forward to continuing this journey till I can accomplish my goals.
It is great to reflect back on how far I have come and this shift from my mind has really been amazing for me.
