Full Circle
My very first Blog post EVER !!!!
Ok, so I "joined" the Wealthy Affiliate approximately 15 months ago, then fell completely off the face of the earth! I think my joining was a bit of a premature knee jerk reaction as opposed to a calculated, well thought out plan.
Here we are now, some 15 months later, and I can only imagine what all I would have learned in that 15 months had I not gone off on a wild goose chase (chasing shiny objects). You see, When I joined the WA in the beginning, I was looking for something like the Wealthy Affiliate, but I had no idea that was what I was looking for! I knew that I needed to find something to do online that would allow my wife and I to actually retire one day. I was out there looking for all sorts of things, and I really believe that I was looking for the "Magic Button" solution, which, as we all know, does not exist.
So one day recently, there I was, watching YouTube videos and had almost decided on one of those "other" brands that was going to solve all my problems because almost everything in that program was "DFY" or Done For You - which I realize now was also a pie in the sky, concocted pipe dream. Well, on the video assessment of the program I was considering, there was this guy, doing the assessment that I realized was familiar (and receommended everyone stay away from that program). That guy, was Eric Cantu. I realized then that "Hey, maybe the Wealthy Affiliate was the real deal". I immediately logged back into my already existing account, and signed up for Premium Plus membership. I knew right then that after all the research I had done, and the solution I had been searching for, had brought me exactly back to where I should have stayed to begin with.
I now know without a doubt that the Wealthy Affiliate is the absolute best platform to learn the Affiliate Marketing business as long as we are patient, are open to the learning process, and are willing to take the massive action it will take to succeed. I am so glad that I saw the YouTube video by Eric and that I didn't try to take the DFY route, which I'm not sure how much we can actually learn from someone else doing the work for us.
I'm glad to be back as a Premium Plus member, and I hope I get to meet and grow to know alot of you along the way!
Lets follow the path and see where it goes!
All the Best !

You're very welcome, Stan! I totally goofed off for my first one and a half years, my friend! You CAN do this, now that you have a better mindset!
Jeff
What a great share, Stan! It proves that it’s never too late!
There are sooooo many high priced “training” platforms out there like the one you mentioned that prey on our wanting to succeed by slowly draining our bank account one high priced module at a time.
WA is so different. Straightforward, affordable, and truly designed to TEACH us.
It’s all about focusing on learning, and with Premium Plus you literally have 100% of WA’s tools, training and support right at your fingertips. You won’t have to buy any expensive new training modules to continue, you’re given it ALL.
How refreshing is that? Congrats on your return! Now, make it all about learning, right?
How much can you learn today, tomorrow, this week? This month?… Focus on that and everything falls into place. ;)
As always, I’m here for anything you need.
Thanks for the share and the mention!
As always Eric, I appreciate you being there with support, encouragement, and the push when it's needed.
