School of hard knocks

Going through life with no college degree may be hard for some. Myself I was raised in a Poor household, was never given the chance to go to College, I did graduate from high school and went on to work with my hands, I was able to make a living doing odd jobs at a young age, my grandparents raised me along with two other kids, it was hard on them some times but we made the best of it,
I went on to learn my trade with just hands-on training; I was able to start my own business from on-the-job experience. I have been in business for 40 years. Enough about ME

What I had in mind with this Post was that any business can be successful without a degree or any college experience, if you are willing to put in the time and learn what it takes to be successful, working with the skills you have at whatever you do, MINDSET, AND DETERMINATION, is two of the biggest things that it takes, "Wealthy affiliate" reminds me of what I went though at a young age, working hard with your hands with out the heavy lifting, This is just as Hard as being on your knees all day, Lifting heavy boxs of flooring, This training here at WA is hard, But well wearth it, so don't Quit.

What's so great about the way this video training is set up, If you don't get it the first time, go back and listen again, again, again. That's what makes it easy for me, because I'm like a turtle, very slowwwww,
I hope the people here at WA who are struggling like me can get just a little of this, school of hard knocks, sample,
