Farewell Dear WA Friends!

Dear All

I have joined WA way back in 2019 and one thing I can say that is really great about WA is definitely the positivity from the members here and the willingness to offer support. There are some great articles written by several members here too.

I myself have spent a lot of time here and created a lot of content and as a result it is not easy to leave all of that behind.

Being with WA several years I realised the strategy here is pretty much to blog and blog and blog and I fully understand that the more quality content you create the higher you will eventually rank in Google and the more money you will make and yes I know this strategy worked for many, but I guess this is just not the kind of strategy that really worked for me as well as I have hoped for. Yes I had success with this strategy, but not the kind of life changing success I was hoping for and was difficult to juggle a full time job and to blog on a very consistent basis like I was supposed to.

So I don't doubt that the strategy works, but I was thinking that surely there must be other strategies that yields quicker results, as the blogging aspect takes a long long time to start seeing life changing results from it.

Well my opportunity came and I have managed to start a successful e-commerce company that I predict will generate 6 figures in the next financial year. I have now also started other businesses which involves generating money from property as well as a business that delivers AI services to other businesses. My aim is to focus on the AI business service model and hoping to scale that to half of what the e-commerce business generates in the next financial year and will then gradually start working more actively on the property business too, also with personal investments in property in mind.

I was very much considering to stay at WA as I thought I could still benefit from it, but to be honest I have not used WA much over the last couple of years and I just don't think there is that much benefit for me personally to renew my membership year after year if I am not going to utilise it.

As mentioned, WA is great with great people here that I will miss very much. But at the same time I believe in different courses for different horses, which means that perhaps the same strategy is not always for everyone and each of us needs to discover and figure out their own journey that leads to success.

I believe I finally found mine after a lot of trial and error and I believe I have discovered the perfect business models that works for me personally and I am done with trial and error now. Now it is simply to knuckle down, to be focussed and to put in the hard work required to build even greater success.

One important thing to remember is that everything we do is part of the greater picture and the experience we need to give us the skillset we need in order to go places.

I will certainly miss this wonderful community and I will always have fond memories of WA, as it truly is a wonderful community with wonderful stand up individuals and I will credit my journey here as part of my journey towards success - a smaller part of the bigger picture.

Lots of love and best wishes to you all and I wish you the very best of success and that you will also discover your success journey, if you have not done so yet, and of course if blogging your way to success is part of what works for you, then that is awesome too.

Your WA companion
