How Reinvention made me successful!!!

Hey you guys!

Its been a while, I've slipped right down in the ratings here at my beloved WA but its all been in a good cause!

I will tell you the story...

I got to the point where I was thinking," what am I doing? where am I going, what exactly do i need to do to take my business/ideas forward?"

Now I have some AMAZING ideas and I do know they are amazing - but I come unstuck because I really have no technical skills whatsoever!

For fourteen years I've been messing around online learning about internet marketing and not succeeding and the reason was that for me to learn, it has to be hands on. I need someone there with me, standing over my shoulder, classroom style saying yes or no, its just the way I roll!

So I decided to type in "local internet entrepreneur." I thought if I can find someone local, who could be hands on and actually show me step by step how to do it I would be laughing!

Well I'm happy to say , this time I got more, a lot more, than I bargained for!

What happened was I found this local guy. His blog was about how he could help local businesses and he was frustrated about how they werent taking him up on it. So, I saw he had a facebook page and sent him a message and went back to his site to read it all.

Then I read his latest blog which told how his mother had died the day before, suffering from dementia. Well, my Mam (colloquial, I apologise but that is our family name) had died with dementia two years previously. I sent a lovely, personal message explaining that I had just sent a facebook message but didnt realise his Mum had just died and offered sincere condolences.

This turned out to be life changing.

I had only read that one blog. How was I to know that this guy was a qualified life coach, a successful online entrepreneur, an experienced stress management speaker, diet adviser and so, so much more!

In the midst of his grief, he replied to me. My words had resonated with him and he told me how much he wanted to help people, from the heart. His life has not been an easy one, he knew what it was like to be at the top then at the bottom and he had suffered indescribable grief in his lifetime and on top of that had lost everything he had ever worked for then picked himself up and built an income of £20k per month, which is wonderful by anyones standards.

What a nice guy!

I cant tell you the emotions I have gone through when I tell you that this lovely man told me how I had inspired him, my story had inspired him to start something that he had had in his mind for a long time but needed that one thing to put things in motion..me wanting someone to help me inspired the Reinvention University!

I am so so grateful to my Wealthy Affiliate! Kyle and Carson you have taught me so much! But the thing is this man has shown me that to be successful I need to look at my past and get rid of the things that stop me succeeding and how to go for it and make myself successful!!!

If you want to be successful too, just contact me - we have a twelve week course which is amazing and cost free! :-)
