2014 Year in Review

WOW what a difference a year makes. If you have been following me in WA you will know that I have had some recent success in the referrals area. This success is honestly the only true success I have ever had since I started working online in 2012 after my divorce.

I started the year with some really rough times in my online work. I lost a few hundred dollars and had a website hacked that ended up getting blocked. I later found out that it was not the website but the promotions inside. Boy did I get taken for a ride. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has ever been there.

In the beginning of the year my personally life took some pretty tough turns not only physically, but mentally. Physically I had a run in with my first ever kidney stone. Finding out the it runs in my family and my dad has a long history. I had to have surgery since the stone was able 6mm, which is quit large for a kidney stone.

That took me out of work for a few days and I fell behind on some of my online work as well. Once I got back on my feet I had a few remain loose ends of my divorce that needed to be tied up. All thanks to an attorney that was only looking out for himself. This part is still not resolved and I am using some of my experiences in one of my websites.

In March I made a move that I was not to sure how it would work out. After all, there are a few different affiliate marketing programs online. Yet few, if any, offer the FREE Starter Membership a lot of us found at WA. This is FREE I thought!! How good can it really be? Only time will tell....

As the summer rolled on and I had a few run ins with my old friend depression. I kept looking for ways to help my boys not see sides of their dad they didn't need to see. My boys have seen way too many side of their dad I wish they hadn't. But I guess it's better to let them know that even if dad is a firefighter, he is still human. My biggest issue this summer was that I was not able to give them a vacation. Along with my emotional status going in all direction, I couldn't wait for this summer to be over.

The fall came while I spent some time looking back at my online business and wondering if it was all really worth the time. I had another run in with my emotions, since this seems to be the thing with going through a divorce and seeing your kids going through some drastic emotional changes themselves. My oldest seems to think he is getting put in the middle of everything because he knows too much. My ex just seems to think he is her built in babysitter and not a 15, now 16, year old boy.

As for the middle two, the 12 yo is starting to realize everything going on and started to isolate himself. While the now 7 year old still misses his daddy and wants to stay with his "Bubby." Sorry that one hurts,,,,

This fall also brought a lot of excitement to my oldest son. Since his high school team made it to the Western Mass Championship again. Only this year they lost. No big deal, he still has two more years and a good chance of getting there in both years.

Then we come into this holiday season. I made the changes in my online business and websites after reviewing some of my work. I continue working everyday making changes and adding content to at least one website or on my WA blog. I have also changed a few things in my marketing strategies that I am keeping close eye on. If things continue on the up scale I will need to put something together to share with my WA community.

So that is quick review of how my year. I had some ups and downs, both physically and mentally. I did take some time away from my websites due to the changes which I know are still not over. The one thing I will need to attempt in 2015 is to remain focused on my recent success and keep moving forward. Its all about motivation, determination, and consistency that will help carry you to your success.

Good luck in 2015

Happy New Year to all in the WA Community
