Hello all,

I just wanted to take a moment and share my little journey. I was a Network Engineer and worked in the IT field for over 10 years. Last November, I was laid off of my 2nd job in a row. Granted, my companies loved me, but it was money over fondness. After my 2nd lay off, I searched and searched and applied to endless jobs only to find that the well was coming up dry.

I realized that I had gotten comfortable in working for others. I always made excellent money and was good at my craft. But at the end of the day, that didn't matter. I live in a place where the area of IT that is booming at the moment is Cyber Security. And while it is and has been my focus to pick up and learn the skills necessary for this area, I also discovered WA through my search for work from home opportunities.

It has been one of the best moves of my life. I haven't even started making money but I can honestly say that. I had 2 domains already and no experience in running blogs or how to market or gain money online. The training here is robust and I can appreciate how to-the-point it is. I have learned so much and applied it!

I used to wonder what I could offer the world. I have so many entreprenuers around me, so many skilled folks who started up their own businesses. I always thought that I would be working for other people for the rest of my life and as long as I was making great money, I was ok with that. But getting laid off again rocked me and I realized I needed not only to be my own boss, but to find avenues to do it that would allow me to make amazing passive income. Because the tip is to work smarter, not harder.

I have moved my domains over to WA and their wonderful platform and I am taking it one step at a time. Mastering one blog before I jump onto another. I have found my passion and through WA and their training, I have been able to start to truly bring to fruition the dream and goals I had for years about building a business helping people. Helping people my way. Through my passion. I don't have to be like everyone else and I am proud of what my blogs stand for.

You truly can work in your passion and enjoy it. I love my blog and when I work on it I am excited and eager because I know that I am just one more step closer to making it into what I want it to be. What it has become has already far exceeded my expectations for myself and what I put into it. I did it! I am doing it! I am making these changes and learning to tailor it and I can't wait to see where it is going to go. Endless possibilities.

Thank you Chris Myles for introducing me to WA! I know this is what I have been waiting for.
