I am at training level 2 with the assignment to begin blog writing on my profile. This is my first one of many to come! I have published seven articles on my website, a total of over 4,000 words! And I have been indexed in Google. I am excited!

I have really surprised myself at the progress at the progress that I have made, I am not a techie person. I have had to go back and review and fine tune to get to this point. My word count has improved with each article and each new article has been easier to write. I have enjoyed learning about Jaaxy and absolutely love that tool as a resource before I begin a new article.

Several years ago I finished my Bachelor of Arts of Management, Marketing on the thirty year plan at a university for working adults. One of the elective classes I took was a business writing class. The instructor was very complimentary and on several of my papers wrote: "What a wonderful writer you are." It really "pumped" me up if I could use that vernacular.

To answer the question "Why I joined WA", the answer is simple, I was not ready to retire and sit on the porch in the rocking chair. I was sort of forced into retirement by a fallen arch that needed surgery. In fact, it took two surgeries to repair it. I was in a cast or in a boot and on a scooter two different times for several months. It was very boring That was five years ago in 2013!

Since that time I have been looking for a self paced and home based business opportunity that wasn't phony and had great potential! As you all know an some of you have stated, there are a lot of scams out there! Kyle has written about the unfortunate dealings with one of the scams!

I had sold books to schools and libraries as an independent publishers rep and I wanted a website, but never accomplished my goal.

My chosen niches are information products such as books, tapes, videos and education products such as reading and math instruction products and programs. I have confidence that these are great niches with great potential. Even though my website is still "under construction", I feel closer to my goal.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT WA!

Wealthy Affiliates is a very dynamic training platform, in fact, it has been referred to as a university for entrepreneurs. The founders are honest men who want success for everyone! The community of members are knowledgeable, positive and enthusiastic people who, just like me were searching for something. Mostly for a way to build a new source of incone. I can't wait to get to that point. I have sold books on Amazon for many years so I know it can be done, I just want more success and I am confident it is possible!

I really appreciated the tips for success at the end of Amplifying your Productivity:

Set Goals!

Do what you hate!

Set time limits on particular tasks!

Work your butt off!

To me, simply stated these points ask the question:

ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF SUCCESS? (I think I need to give credit to Zig Ziglar)

IN CONCLUSION:

Several years ago, Napoleon Hill wrote a great book, THINK AND GROW RICH

One of the main thoughts was this: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, The mind can achieve."

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at WA, first of all, Kyle and Carson for creating the program and the rest of the community for being so positive and supportive.

I have said it before and I will say it again, WA is a great place to be!

I wish each of you a Happy and very Prosperous New Year!
