My journey so far

Hi Everyone,

Since I've reached my second week with WA, I can truly say that I've learnt so much already, and I know that there is so much more to learn, but it's been a fun ride so far. I didn't think finding a niche would be as tricky as I thought, obviously we all have things which we enjoy or are passionate about, however some of those things I doubt could be monetised, but I'm happy for someone to prove me wrong as it would help me break my limiting beliefs; similar to Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile.

I have to admit that I cheated a bit, I did watch all the videos, some more than once...however, I haven't completed the contents on most of my pages. Just to give everyone who's reading a heads up, I've decided to have my first website about being a parent and helping our kids to have higher financial IQs; buildingwealthykids.com (still very basic and bland), which I hope in turn will give ideas to the parents to inspire to eventually practice what they preach, and become wealthy themselves. I don't know some of the questions which needs to be asked though, such as:

Do I understand the core problems within my niche? honestly at the moment in time, no, I just knew that I needed to pick something and hope that it evolves over time into something magnificent if I keep working at it and improving it.

Can I effectively communicate with others in my niche? I've never been a word smith, and blogging is an entirely different skill to master. I've been analysing other posts and blogs, and have learnt some new things, but I wouldn't say that I'm confident in my ability to communicate something of value.

I'm still new to this community, so have fewer followers than the senior members, however, I'm unsure if I'm posting my questions in the right area,as I was hoping to get more feedback or answers from the more senior members of this community. I'm grateful for those who have replied, but I'm also looking to get some pearls of wisdom from those who've been where we are but who have succeeded. If you would be so kind as to share your experiences, such as what it took for you start seeing some money rolling in for example (I know there are many ways to get paid, but it's just something to look forward to).

I guess I'm not too sure if this is a great niche to be in, however, its something which is close to my heart, as I want to achieve financial freedom, and then show my amazing step kids the way for them to achieve it, and also to maintain it.

I'm proud that I've made it this far, I did try other affiliate communities in the past, but gave up because it got a bit overwhelming. I've never been someone who was good with computers (I've actually always behind in all things related to technology and social media).

Not only have I tried affiliate marketing in the past, but I've spent a lot of money on trading courses, and donated money to the market 5 times more than what I used to pay for the course. Sometimes, I feel like such a failure, even though I'm constantly finding ways to exit the rat race by reading books, and using the law of attraction (i guess it worked since it helped me to find this place)...even though Tony Robbins says that there is no failure there's only feedback, well I've been getting A LOT of feedback, with not just about obtaining money, but also with my relationship with family.

Btw, I only just started my G+ account today, and it is looking very bare with the amount of followers or lack of, if you would you be kind enough to follow me on https://plus.google.com/u/1/109661936801563518163, and I'll be happy to return the favour.

Sorry, I won't take up much more of your time, but it's finally nice to have a community who I can communicate with who are trying to achieve similar goals to what I hope to achieve.

To finish off, I thought I re-share some of my goals which I had set out from the start, I by doing this, I'll have everyone's AWESOME help to keep myself accountable and on track towards my financial goals.

My plans and goals in the upcoming 3 months:

I hope to have finished my website, and be proud of the content which I've entered, and be well on my way to finish most of the courses

My plans and goals in the upcoming 6 months

By 6 months I hope to start ,monetising from my website, my aim by this time is to achieve $500 per month consistently after 6 months (more would be a bonus).

THANKS AGAIN!! AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
