Good to see you are back with your plus account
As for the post true you need to stay the course I was about to give up 11 years ago due to being ripped off many scams and promise of that done for you crap not to mention all those hidden upsells they would try to offer you but you had to upgrade for more training which came with huge cost like $497 then $997 and more along the way and they still didn't offer not even half of what WA gave you even back then.

I took one last chance and glad I did now I am heading towards my 12th year here next year with no plans to give up or leave.

You have all you need here and then much more. All one needs to do is bring themselves to the table and learn and put in the work only then can you see the value and benefits of what works the right way compared to the wrong way with those fake gurus.

When I became a member 12+ years ago, I was in search of someone to teach me how to build a WordPress website. I wanted to learn it myself because I wanted to avoid having to depend on someone else to add content.

I don't remember exactly how I found WA, I think it was a Craigslist post about WordPress development. However it stated that it was free to join so I did. Then once I saw the easy step-by-step process, I never looked back.

Hi Rachel171, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the unethical WordPress designer - it's frustrating when someone takes advantage of your trust and does not deliver as expected.

How wonderful that you've found WA and its user-friendly Dashboard! It is a relieve when you discover a platform that actually makes things easier rather than more complicated.

Your message about perseverance is encouraging and should be relatable in situations like this. The journey to success is rarely a straight line - there is ups and downs, but they're also just stepping stones to the inevitable especially when we stay determined. Your story is a perfect example of why resilience matters so much. That very negative experience will not define your online journey, but you've found something workable and positive that works for you.

Your followers will surely appreciate this authentic reminder that setbacks are just setups for comebacks. Thank you for sharing both your struggle and your success - it's through stories like yours that others find the courage to keep going toward their own dreams.

During my first years in online journey, I also experienced paying and joining memberships to help me create my own website, but unfortunately, I was not successful. I realize, It's seems I am not doing the right way to create website.
Until I came across WA and joined. Many times I almost lost my power of being consistent and punctual in my WA Account. I just felt tired thinking what contents I should create and spending few days to finish it.
Now, with the help of AI in WA, I feel so much power to go on... With these qoutes, I am now stronger to go on:
" Work Smarter not harder "
" It's ok to Pause and Rest but Never Stop and don't ever Give up..."

Thanks for this reminder, Rachel!

All the best,
Shierly

Yes, you are so right — for every “no,” there will be a “yes.” To me, a “no” means it’s not the right person or the right time yet. I just need to stay patient, stay encouraged, and try another route. The right opportunity (or person) will come when it’s meant to.
