There's no question about it. Before we can walk, we must crawl. For aspiring entrepreneurs (like many of us here at Wealthy Affiliate) freedom from employment is still a dream. Employment certainly takes the lion's share of most people's lives, and not only the time, but is the central fixture in millions of lives.

Until we can replace employment, we must engage in it.

For those who can see employment for what it is are fortunate indeed! The lingo of employees and entrepreneurs are like black and white. A few choice keywords will bring up a list of comparison between the two mentalities. It's all over the Internet so it is not necessary to put it here.

It goes without saying that traumatic experiences can certainly get in the way of one's dreams and desired futures. It's unfortunate and one's own alibi is the healing of time. Such anomolies are:

  • Family disruptions of all sorts
  • Financial hardship and ruin
  • Sickness & disease.

You get the picture. They can and do ruin aspirations and dreams. Unfortunate as these are, they happen to us all, or to someone dear and close to us, and it can and does affect us in advers ways.

Hello Daniel! So many gems here. It deserves a good read and read again ranking. I can't wait to get through the resources you have provided.

In our learning curve having a good mindset as recommended here in your training is critical to our being able to get to what we define as success. Totally agree, an overused and sometimes poorly used term, yet if we are careful to define what success means to us, not having it be just monetary, it will help give impetus to reaching our goals.

Thank you for the time you have invested in creating this. Love that it has bubbled up on a surface that includes me. '-)

Hi Linda,

Didn't take me long to put this out. It all started on Notepad and had it within an hour, from start to publish. It's why I try to stick with things I am well familiar with in my campaigns because otherwise, I could spend days on a single work, and that's not prophetable, being tied down to liabilities as I am. That's just one more thing that behooves me to include in the section about interest and passion in our campaigns.

By all means, success isn't the money. That's one way it gets misused, unless one's goal is solely to make money and forget the human beings who pay for the work.

Most definitely, success to me is in being able to pay it forward, as we are taught here, and is one thing that has gone to my heart. Success depends on your worthy ideal and how you approach it.

I like to say things that help build up my readers, and this, in and of itself, is a success to me, because I have not always been able to do this due to the negativity I lived in in the past.

I still have to get my ducks in order, but I'm getting there a little bit each day.

In all of the time I've been here, I've never seen another place on the Internet, no matter what it is, that comes close to the philosophy of paying it forward as done here!

One of the best things I got out of your training Daniel, and by the way, very good to see you putting out training again, welcome back brother, now back to the best thing I myself got out of this training is do not think with your emotions, think with your brain.
Keep up the good work!

Hey Shawn, Thanks for responding :) Yes, emotionalism can definitely put up walls and imprison you within. I know it only too well, and I get wise council from the elders. Things are very tight in my life right now, but one thing going good for me now are people I'm now with that understand my need to be online building a business and not grinding my life away making someone else rich.

Now that I'm not living under my previous landlord's roof, he has stopped being so contemptuous and is much more respectful, so it's getting better all the way around. the only thing - I badly need my own Internet connection. All the time I've been at WA now, this is something I've never achieved.
