My Marketing Myths

Where I Was

Over the past several years I developed what I thought was an interest in marketing and distribution. The last 15 years or so, my career was in procurement, purchasing, logistics and sales for several companies. I found that through all of them, marketing interested me the most but had no idea how or where I would ever find a way to engage in it other than working for someone else.

What I thought

What I always pictured would be something in a consulting or advisory capacity, or maybe even web design but I didn't really know jack, and wanted to learn. That was about 10 years ago. I knew there had to be a way for me to engage in the global presence and make something work.

What Happened

Then in 2010 while browsing online opportunities I came across a scam-busting site that ended with a review of Wealthy Affiliate. I liked everything I read and bookmarked it for something to check out "later". Almost 4 years later while deleting old bookmarks there it was again. I know, it still hurts...Right in my face but it just needed to be the right time.

How things Happened

I don't like to name drop so I will endeavor not to, but I owe my acquaintance with Wealthy Affiliate to a great "younger than me" entrepreneur who is totally killing this thing and needs to be awarded some kind of medal or something...

He was in my thoughts and mind for a long time and "Poof" I was ready.

That's exactly what you want...Some gal or guy that is really reading what you have to say and your site has the stuff to keep them reading.

The Carrot...

What is holding you back? Are you like I have been and spending most of your time questioning your ability here??? Knock it off. I just sent out my first post after almost a year...I don't like what that says about me but knew if I didn't change something soon, nothing will ever change for me...I didn't join Wealthy Affiliate to "try" it out, I did my own homework and found what it was and how I could make it happen.

Thanks for reading,

Doug
