Profile Bio - Boasting? Helping? or just Lazy?
When I was setting up my account here in WA I typed out a quick bio keeping things really simple to get past it and dig into the real stuff...
I think that was a mistake!
As I started going through the training, I had some questions and found that the community here was very helpful. I was looking at the profiles of these folks who were answering questions for me and other people.
The majority of these profiles were discriptive about their life experience and experience online and in this program. I found it very helpful to "get to know" these folks and understand their experience and background.
In learning more about the people in this community and their story it began to build my confidence in my ideas and plans to get in here and do the work!
We all look at things differently. If I am having doubts about anything and hear about someone's success, or challenges, failures, decisions, experience, etc. it may help me past some of my own issues.
I tend to be a motivated, self-starter... I've also meant to start learning about online stuff for a long time and just haven't done it! lol
But here I am...
I decided to update my profile bio after reading other successful profiles in the community. I was a bit concerned about boasting because of some of my accomplishments, but I'm really coming more from a place of helping others...
Stick with the truth about your life experience and you aren't boasting about yourself... you're most likely going to help someone at some point with your experience and knowledge.
Don't sell yourself short... spend a few minutes on your profile.
You are unique and your experience is extremely valuable!
To our Success!

I also read profiles to get to know people better. Thank you for your update. I enjoyed reading it. Yes, success comes with a price. And honesty is the only way.

Just read your Bio and the new one is awesome.
Love the SEALS quote, might 'borrow' that if you don't mind! Just like the SEALS, success in affiliate Marketing or anything in life really is gained by 'never quitting'.
See how your bio made a connection! I admire your decisions and goals, and wish you all the best and lots of success, I have a feeling it will :)
Yep 'Be true to who you are', sometimes just being brief and to the point is enough, because your true character, personality and life experience will be shown in your blogs and the way you help people.
Absolutely agree!! And sometimes a picture speaks so much more than words... and your profile pic is amazing!! So full of life!! Thanks!!
What can I say, nothing I love better than climbing and then standing at the top of a mountain! Pretty much sums life up for me.
Thank you my friend and I think I am going to enjoy bumping into you more, you sound so full of energy too 😃
Sara, I love that, sometimes just being in that place on your own is the right place to be. I love heights too, climbing a tree and sitting there watching life below is my favourite pastime or lying in the grass and watching the sky.
Lol, I try to keep it up, but my hubby is afraid of heights and told me I am not a kid anymore and come back to earth hehe.
Never, has he not seen Peter Pan? Never grow up, and never come back to earth, keep climbing my friend : )
Yes I intend to he can stay on earth lol, I actually want to be buried under a tree in a pod, when I die too
How truly wonderful, I love trees, I have my favourite big old tree. I am going to have my ashes put at the top of a mountain in Scotland. My poor husband (or children) will have to climb it to put them there : )
Lol, it ok it will build his ranking I always extend comments on friends posts to help their ranks 😆
Yes would love to but it won't help our businesses lol I want to earn enough someday to travel and meet up with my WA friends and have coffee, so it would be lovely to climb a mountain with you Sara 😆
They really do need to arrange a party, or meet ups. It would be amazing to meet some of the wonderful people I have connected with since starting! Be amazing wouldn't it just travelling the world meeting everyone!
I think it is hard with the bio, I wrote mine and then read several very business orientated and formal bio's. I had the same thoughts of 'oh no, I've done it wrong and I should change it'. However as long as your bio is true to you and encompasses everything you want people to know about you then great. However if you want to shout from the roof tops about what you bring to the table, then do it! We are all here on our own journeys, bringing our own experiences and skills, and I think it is great if the community knows about them : ) so I vote HELPING xx
In the end I left my bio exactly as it was when I joined. It says something about the me I was on that day : )
100% agree!! And your profile and motivation for family and quality of life is amazing!! Thank you!!
