How the heck did I end up here?

How I ended up here doesn't matter anymore. What matters now, is that I am here, and I chose to stay.

I was completely overwhelmed at first because everything was all new to me. I dusted off an old dictionary that sat on our bookshelf to look up words like 'Niche' and 'Blogging' and 'content. It wasn't until my 10 year old son said 'just google it mum'. So you can imagine just how far back in the dark ages I actually was when it came to 'online' anything. Except Facebook of course.

I've been here with WA now for about 3 weeks. And I feel like I'm doing ok now. I got stuck with finding my Niche, and keywords and pretty much everything. But after reading posts from members, I realised that I'm not alone. And It's ok to feel this way. And no matter how frustrating it can get, there is always someone there to help you through.

This post, is progress for me. It's something that I am truly proud of. Before WA, I would never have had the courage to write anything let alone post it for all to see. So this, for me, is success. This program has allowed me the freedom to become someone that I never thought I could ever be. And I know that if I stay persistent and continue on with the training, I am going to be successful.

I am going to invest my time and effort into completing the training. I've had to go back and re-read as well as watch the training videos over and over again. I've had to look up words that I've never ever heard before. I will do whatever it takes to progress. I made a commitment to myself to keep going, to learn all I can from everyone, and to put all that training into action.

My goal is to retire my husband in 2 years and take my children on a cruise (something they really want to do) I also want to share this program with my family and friends because I know that they would truly benefit from it.

I have never come across a program like this before, and the community, omg the community is just amazing. To be a part of a community, where it's members are dedicated to helping each other achieve all their goals; It doesn't get any better than this.

So, if you are new, like me.. I encourage you to keep going, don't quit. And when people say to you, "If you ever need anything, or have a question, JUST ASK". Trust me, just ask. The only stupid question, is the one you didn't ask. So ask. Reach out. Someone will always be there.

All the best

What a refreshing post, well done for doing so well thus far, I to have to go back to the training, but it is there whenever we need to do that. The posts from the members are also amazing.

Nice post, with a very clear Goal, which should be accomplished here within that timeframe

Thank you so much Shirley.

I was truly inspired by your post the other day about what not to do here at WA. I can honestly say that i had broken some rules too.
Your post gave me the confidence i needed to write and actually click publish.
Just wanted to Thank you.

Hello Patty!

Congratulations on your achievements thous far. When I first started back in 2015 I didn't know what I was doing either. However, as I came here more often I started getting the hang of things. With hard work and dedication, I believe you can get where you need to de. Best of luck on your business endeavors.
