Since I went Premium I found myself buried under a ton of bonuses and gifts from the Founder members and other Luminaries in Wealthy Affiliate.

Then I came to the realisation that with so many freebies means one long road to learning Affiliate Marketing.

OK, so I've been warned by our beloved founders and other leaders and every one else in the WA community that I'll have to work hard, but will ultimately reach the goal set out by me.... or is it for me?

Working hard means hours watching videos, reading the lessons.

Working hard means going without sleep and staying up all hours to study the training videos.

Working hard means putting my nose to the grindstone. I'll be growing callouses on my nose from having said nose to the said grindstone!

I was in two minds by now whether I loved it....or not. Then do I want it....or not. Then can I do this....or not and so on.

I thought over it, about it, round it and under it. The answer is Nope, there's no way over it, about it, round it or under it.

The only answer is there's only one way...GET INTO IT!

Right, so now we know that, what next?

First task.....plan a schedule. Easier said than done! Without enough hours in the day, how do I plan the blessed Schedule?

Put on the Thinking Cap! Think...Think...Think.

Then the Light Bulb clicked. Eureka, I got it! I don't sleep normal hours like others do.

Why don't you sleep normal hours, you ask? Well for a start, being a Senior Citizen, I'm a very light sleeper, and secondly, I'm blessed with sharp ears.

So, what's that got to do with not sleeping normal you ask?

Well, for one...my son snores. Two...the moment its' lights out, every hamsters we have starts running on their wheels! And every wheel has their own sound... One goes whirrrrr, another goes squeek squeek, then there's the one that goes eecha eecha, and how 'bout the one that goes rooaarr. Together with my son, its a real orchestrate cacophony of sound that goes on for eight hours.

Why eight hours you ask? Well, one...that's the hours my son needs for his beauty sleep. Two...the dratted animals are nocturnal and gets very active in the dark and goes straight to bed with the first sight of light (like Dracula).

So now my schedule is, when my son goes unconscious for eight hours...I'm at the computer for eight hours. When he wakes I go to sleep for two hours.

Huh, you ask? I'm a Senior Citizen remember? Senior Citizens are usually light sleepers or catnapers. The rest of my waking hours I wash, clean (the house), feed my son and hamsters.

Now my being in two minds about whether I love the WA and do I want it and can I do it? My decision is Yess I love, want and Can!

See you all in my next blog.

As always God bless my dears...

Thanks Rick. Looking after a dog's as good (or bad, depends on what you're doing for it at that moment) as looking after a baby.
I have 5 hamsters and a son who has no idea which cupboard is the larder, so same difference.
Bless you...Shirley

Hey Shirley, nice piece I don't sleep much I have a dog to take care of so I'm up at daybreak and to bed about 3:00am

Sounds like you have a workable plan. I'm thinking lubricating the hamster wheels might help.

Tried..didn't work. The only way is to kill the hamsters and my son to kill the noise. Blessings...

Hi, Great post. From the sound of things you might need some noise cancelling headphones with the racket that goes on :). Keep up the good work sounds like you are well on the way to been successful.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind thoughts. I would rather wring my son's neck together with the hamsters. How many nights I had to grit my teeth. They're really noisy. Bless you...Shirley

I agree I having been in the Navy have learned to get by on just a few hours of sleep a day and still be able to get the job done all the best

Hi David. Thanks so much for reading my blog. I've just been dithering on about it for a week now. Has your lovely wife retired yet?
Bless you both...Shirley

Great Blog- I usually wake up at 4 am, I go to sleep at 11pm so as a senior I know the strange hours we keep.

Hi young man, thank you for your kind supportive words. We seniors do keep strange hours.
You know you'll be helping many others don't you? So you'll probably be sleeping even less now to be able to achieve that goal.
God bless you...Shirley

Yes this is exciting an addicting. God Bless and have a GREAT 2015

Hmmm, addicting? Never been addicted to anything before. This should be Exciting ...(as you say). I'm praying to be a help to others as well...
God bless you and yes a great 2015 to us all.
