Beware - Stop wanting everything for FREE!
I just wanted to share what I observe a lot of in the chat and that is people wanting so much for free, but more specifically, Wealthy Affiliate.
I absolutely get it. We all have families and lives to live and that comes at a big cost these days. But having the mindset of wanting all for free is such an obstacle and block one should really overcome.
In the offline world, I bet you couldn't set up a business for "free" - NO WAY!!! There is always investment involved and if you have gone down the path of a brick and mortar business you will definitely know huge costs are involved.
We are so blessed here at Wealthy Affiliate to check this out for free. I have never seen anywhere in any program the chance to get in and really see what the program was all about, and for as long as you want. But I do believe to get a profitable website humming along then investment is required. Lucky for us that doesn't cost much, the cost is more our time.
But if you want to keep with the mindset of "FREE" and continue down that path then I say beware... because that may be all who you attract into your circle... those wanting FREE stuff and never joining or buying from you!
Just some food for thought.
Cheers, Sharon

Thanks for the share Sharon, I have ventured down the brick and mortar path and can testify that there is a lot more financial investment than what we do here.
So true.
There is so much value in WA that they would easily be justified in raising the prices (Kyle, if you see this, that's not a suggestion... lol)
lol, funny Craig, but you are so right. We get so much value here. Blows me away when people cannot see it! What I love seeing though, is people in Live Chat saying they have returned after 6 mths or a year.
They get out there on the Internet and work out there is nothing like this out there. And realise, they have to roll up their sleeves and get to work! Good thing for them is they realise it!
Can you even get a new job without having to spend money; Bus fares/fuel/parking, new shoes, uniform lunch etc... Nothing in life is free. But the keyword tools tell us that 1000's of people are looking to do it for free haha
So right Josh on those keywords!
I think WA is great the way they offer to check this out for free. But I do believe you cannot stay a free member if you want all the training and tools and to move forward successfully
Western society has raised an entire generation that believes everything should be free. Then they get out in the real world where life happens and suddenly find nothing is free, its a bitter pill for them to swallow.
Right on Bill!
Glad I am bringing my kids up a little differently.
They know hard work pays off and the good thing is they are willing to do it.

Thank you, Sharon, for putting the subject so succinctly. We were taught that nothing is free, someone pays somewhere. :)
Very true!
