As I was reading many other people's blogs this morning I felt compelled to write my first blog. I truly feel for the people out in the world that are struggling to make ends meet and trying their hardest to come up with a solution to their income problems. I am reading about people that may have to cancel their premium membership if they can't get some income flowing in during the first month of their membership. This truly saddens me. I wish I could pay for their memberships until they got up and running.
In today's ever changing world it is so hard to continue to make ends meet. I have been looking for an opportunity to to not only supplement my income but to help give me peace of mind and hoping one day to be wealthy enough to help other people in some truly significant ways.
The company I worked with for over 20 years closed down when the recession hit. I was fortunate enough to go to a competitor. My income in the first year went to about a third of what I was making before. I lived off of my 401K plan for a couple of years until I proved my worth with my new company.I depleted the 401K that took me 20 years to build in about 2 years. I was able to move around in the company until I was at an income level I could live off of. My fiancee lost her job and was out of work for a couple of years. We are the lucky ones to have been able to make it through those tough years and are truly grateful for everything we have.
We have been searching for opportunities for many years and I have been looking for opportunities my entire adult career. In the past 4 years we have tried Carbon Copy Pro and Russ Dalbey's note business. We have also worked many side jobs for cash. We can not tell you how truly excited we are to have come across the Wealthy Affiliate and this wonderful community. I truly believe if we work from the heart that good things will happen.
Our passion is to help people and I truly believe we will be able to do this with the knowledge we gain through this amazing course! Here is to much success for everyone in 2013 and beyond!
