What is the real measure of success ?

I see new people come into the group all the time with one question on their mind. It is asked at the very least once a day. Although it is a great question, it is the wrong attitude to start off with when joining a group like Wealthy affiliates. The question is "when will I start making money".

Making money is not the sole purpose of this group, it is a side effect of all your hard work as you provide a customer with the information that they may be seeking. You are providing a service, a way to help someone.

With a group like Wealthy affilites you are not just making money, you are providing a service to help others.

If I take all the things that I have learned with the group so far then what is my true measure of success ? Sure I am still not Rich, but I have learned a tremendous amount in a short time in a real world situation where I have started the tiny steps to financial success. I have learned a lot more than I could ever imagine about my Niche and I have shared that information on my web site for the world to see. I now make enough to cover the costs that I have put out and have enough left over for a 6 pack of beer. I now have more drive and passion in what I am doing, and enjoy it. I wake up every morning excited to find out more about my Niche and put that information on my web page.

In the personal sense of the word, I have already acheived succcess. Thank you Wealthy Affiliates and everyone that is here, for making ME a success. I hope that in some small way, I have helped others as much as I have received.
