Hello Wealthy Affiliate Family!

The new year is upon us, and as always, I have not made any New Year's Resolutions. This doesn't mean that I am finished changing myself for the better for the rest of the year.

Just the opposite. It means that I will continue on in 2019 with the same resolve as I had in 2018, and 2017, 2016, etc.

I resolve:

to be the best husband I can be;

to be the best father I can be;

to provide for my family to the best of my ability, and

to create an income that will follow me into my retirement.

The first two I will continue to make my first priority. The most important part of my life is my relationship with my wife, and I will do whatever it takes to make our happiness grow each day.

My children will also be a priority, before money and the business. They are all older and settled, so it is easier to help them. Now on to the business of the business.

Now if you look at my accomplishments in WA, you will see that I just joined in 2018. How, you say, can I have the same resolve to create an income that will follow me into retirement, if I just started in 2018?

Well, I do have a career as an administrator in an elementary school. Along with that comes a pension, so I have been creating a retirement income for some time.

I also have a couple of businesses that I operate on the side (car detailing, painting) that will also generate some income into retirement. The issue I have with these, is they require my physical presence, and I can only make money while I am working.

Both my career and my businesses require me to exchange my time for money. The career is a salary. The more time I put in, the same amount of money I make. The businesses at least allow me to make more money if I put in more time, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Wealthy Affiliate is going to allow me to put the time in on an hourly basis, but have the income return to me even when I am not working. It is as if Wealthy Affiliate has removed the time/money exchange continuum.

So, no new resolutions. Just the same resolve to be the best that I can be, while focusing on building a successful business through with the guidance and assistance of the Wealthy Affiliate family.

Thank you in advance. May we all win together!

Welcome and best wishes to you!

I like your approach. My list got to about a dozen things. So, I wadded it up and threw it in the trash. I am going to keep doing what I am doing. Enjoy absolute freedom in a brand new country and help others while finding something purposeful to fill my time. Being happy does not so much mean how happy I am, but how happy I make those around me.

Great post. Much success in 2019 and beyond.
Looking good. We will outlive all of them!

Hi Tom, you hit the nail on the head there!
That is exactly how I view this opportunity. Put the time and hours in now and then exchange that for the passive income that frees my time up for other pursuits. Great post:)
All the best for 2019, Cass

Thanks! And the best of luck to you in the coming year also!
Have a great day!
