Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I have been registered with WA for about 12 months. When Iaccepted the challenge I had no idea what I was getting into. I was innocentlyignorant. I thought success for my mission would be so simple and swift.I hadabsolutely no clue. I was so naïve about what it takes to be a success online.

I was oblivious to the reality of the “TIME” it takes andunending days of long hard work. For me a yearfeels like only a season went by and a season like a month and a month like aweek and yes a day like a few hours.

I actually got to the point where Ifelt like Socrates who once said "I know I do not know". I knewabsolutely nothing important about the knowledge, time and effort that isabsolutely necessary for online business to be successful.

Actually it is the same for any business (time and effort) butthe marketing from others selling the idea of financial success for an onlinebusiness is very shallow as well as deceiving to say the least. It seemslike everybody is going to make a million dollars in a very short time (months)with very little effort. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I was searching for company who could possibly help me to betterunderstand how to work with my vision for Tommy's Team. I am the owner/founderand I clearly knew what my vision and mission was intended to be but had noknowledge as to how to develop it for clarity on the web.

I needed a trustworthy blueprint to follow and didn't have oneuntil I found and joined WA. The test of time has proven the values that WA hasto offer its members. They, Kyle and Carson have consistently from all theirimmediately accessible departments far exceeded my expectations.

I knew right away that WA was the best chance I had for feelingmore confident about my self. The courses and the suggestions from our membersis to me the best there is. I have been fooled many times before.

My Biggest Problem: Time...Timewas always short for me.

I was trying to learn; complete a site that waspreviously started before WA and just the time daily demanding chores of lifeitself. WA was a true blessing in disguise because I am sure I could not havegotten to where I am today.

Now I have all the confidence and hope that is necessary for thegrowth of Tommy's Team. WA has been a stepping stone for me all the waykind of acting as a security blanket. The tremendous as well as the membershelped put the pieces to the “Puzzle” of the quality of the development ofTommy’s Team.

Just to make sure we are on the same page. I want to make itclear that I never doubted for a moment the almost unimaginable growth forTommy’s Team. I can see it clearly in my mind’s eye. I know enough to continuewith whatever time it may take. I can see the sun light at the end of thetunnel.

During the 12 months I devoted 3 of them towards tommysteam.comwhich went live 07/07/2017 affecting my struggle for completing my necessarytraining with WA. One of those months was lost trying desperately tobring my site to WA for hosting. We had so much difficulty; only to find outthat our present site was not a Word Press site and as such not compatible toconnect within Word Press.

At the time I thought of that as a hugh disappointment. Thereality is all I need is the knowledge I am continuously receiving from WA. Wetake and apply the information and give Tommy’s Team all the nourishment itneeds to grow and be effective.
