As you know I work for google. My belief is everyone has something to offer you, might have knowledge about a subject that I would not, or just different life experiences, Google shares this same belief

I was approached by this shuttle bus driver from my work back in October 2014, he and I were talking about economics. He liked me so much that he invited me to this program. I sat down with him at a Starbucks days later, soon to realize he wanted me to join this network marketing thing. At the time I didn't realize what it was all about, plus how it's done.

I went to this seminar soon to realize these were money hungry, listening to to the this speaker constantly talking about how she throws money to cause and how much she makes, being financially free, and etc. This was where you clearly knew people were brainwashed every time she yelled; "You want to make money!" everyone would shout back; "Yes!"

The punchline was:

I hate punch line, they bore me

Can you bring 6 people to the program and build a website selling their products of month and you don't have to like doing it, because your making money! Who cares right!? ( I care!) Then I looked around and noticed that almost everyone had this orange color bottle drink and these bloody atrocious bags that teenage girls would have, and I would died before being seen with that thing!

How I found Wealthy Affiliate:
At that point I'm saying to myself; "Are all these people really believing this crap?" Yes I'm sure it works, but you are not helping people for the right reasons. I went home told my girlfriend and that being said she started doing research about that company, some how it isn't a pyramid scheme! During her research she stumbled upon Wealthy Affiliate, when I got home she showed me this video of Wealthy Affiliate of course it was a video of Kyle.

Which the message was:
You can make your website while the communtiy is by your side teaching you things you would be stuck on. In fact, I was sold after listening to this, because he said that keyword "Helping people with my passion or hobbies."
In conclusion:
If you are here to help teach people, things that they might not know? You are in the right place, money will come eventually, like all thing money can always be made, I always say to my friends.

I would encourage to leave a comment below down writing 5 things how you would help people?, it can be anything! because no idea it a dumb idea. here is my example

  • Providing information about food
  • Showing steps how to achieve the same result
  • Giving them the power to make it themselves, vs buying at a restaurant
  • saving money from not buying a book to get that information.
  • Having fun

Thank you for taking your time to read this,
Kind regards
