I am a teacher, stopped teaching because my hubby retired, and we moved to the beach! I when I joined WA I KNEW I could learn how to do this and felt that it would be perfect for me to still earn money but be free to enjoy hubby's retirement.
I love to knit, read and be outdoors, garden and sit on the beach and read!
I have been at this since July 2009 and have gradually put most of the pieces together. I find that a healthy mixture of reading enough to get the picture and then practicing and trying to do it, then going back and re-reading to help fine tune is working.
My biggest piece of learning here is to avoid putting all the eggs in one basket. Aim for multiple streams of income.
My biggest challenge has been keeping up with the tech stuff that has not really been a part of my life, so all the social media and google plus etc throw me. I know I can learn it, I just need to make the time to study it more.
I would never have survived this journey long without a couple of loyal buddies on here at WA, ready to give advice and help every step of the way.
