It seemed like a daunting task, here I am raising a baby, taking care of a sick husband and trying to make ends meet. I felt like I was about to climb Mount Everest without any gear. So what to do? How can I support my family? where will I get enough money? Time to stop worrying and take action, it begins now!

Let's get started

first needed to list all my challenges down one by one then put a plan in place to deal with them. I first had to get my house ready for my husband to get come from the hospital, this means I had to clean, wash get the need supplies and finally get him home. When I created my check list I realize it's not as hard as I thought, instead of letting everything overwhelm me, tackling them one at a time was easy. Get medication check, clean house check, stock fridge check see not bad at all. Now the day finally arrived he was coming home.

On To the Next One

Now my next challenge, how I am going to take care of a sick person and a one-month old baby all be my self. That wasn't true I wasn't by myself I had my family who jumped right in to help. Those first couple weeks where brutal I slept 3 hours a day, ate once and felt so completely exhausted but I couldn't give up. Next on the list is to create a schedule, for eating, bathing, taking medication and so on. That made my life so much easier, we where on tract to becoming a family again.

Work Work Work

Another big obstacle, money how was I am going to take care of the everyday expenses? me going back to my 9 to 5 wasn't going to work. The cost to employ someone to take care of my husband as well as our baby was way more than a 9 to 5 pays so I gave it up to stay home. I began looking up online jobs to do but just couldn't find the right one.

Once I found an at home job some I could pay some bills but it still wasn't enough. I then made a decision, I need more and I won't get it from working for someone else. Fast forward through many nights of online search, countless hours of talking to people to see what works for them, then here I am at wealthy affiliate. I signed up and I must admit I didn't think anything of it at first. It took me about a month after signing up to come back to the site to really see what it was about. I took the first class and I was hooked, loved the information I was getting. It was practical I for the first time I could see myself running my our business, being my own boss and being able to take care of my family.

Now I'm Here

Two months later and I'm now a premium member doing as much training as I can, my site is up and running and i'm learning how to make it profitable. I have only been premium for a month, not sure if right now I can afford the renewal but I'm sure heck going to community here has been so encouraging and helpful, I really feel like I can go places here.

Choosing my niche was easy I love everything about my son and taking care of him. Helping other parents who went through what I did Is a joy. Working on purchasing my own domain now but everything comes with time. Writing the posts is not as hard as it seems and i'm really getting the hang of use Jaxy to search for keywords.

Keep Going

As I sit here writing this blog my son is screaming for me to take him. He reminds me of all I'm working towards. Being financially independent, enjoying life and taking the best care of.my family. Going through the training while still having to do my work from him job and take care of them can feel overwhelming sometimes. But I am doing this for a better future, a brighter one, so ill just keep going.
