An Online Financial Success Story?

An Online Financial Success Story?
There are not too many days that go by when I don’t log into Wealthy Affiliate to work. I have been doing so for the last three years. I do not have an online financial success story that I had hoped for by now, but that hasn’t stopped me from looking forward to doing my work each day.
Something happened! Did I click my heel three times?

I use the word “work,” but I don’t consider it work at all. I enjoy working on my website, and I am in awe of what I have learned thus far. What is so wonderful is that the learning doesn’t stop!
There is, of course, all the excellent training that Kyle has created that has surely brought me a long way in my efforts here. However, in addition to that, I learn something every day from the community members.
The community encourages me when I feel frustrated. The community clarifies and answers my questions. Members give me tips on how to earn another stream of income, and much, much more.

I feel that I have developed friendships within the community that I will hold dear for many years to come.
I enjoy a loving heart that allows me to be a natural caregiver. Wealthy Affiliate gives me the opportunity to give a helping hand to other members whenever I can. When I do, I feel a sense of satisfaction.

So, I continue to forge ahead doing all the hard work (wishing I had an assistant to help), believing in myself and in the steadfast commitment from Wealthy Affiliate that I will meet with financial success at the time God has appointed it for me.

I have met with some successes here at WA. I realize that no matter how large or small the success is, it is a success nonetheless! Take a look!

Top 50! How in the world did I ever make it here? It was not a conscious effort. I was only doing what I do when I work at Wealthy Affiliate; an online success maker. I try not to pay much attention to the ranking system at WA because it would be up one day then down the next. I had too much work to pay attention to that.

I don’t recall exactly how it happened, but I think something came up on my screen while I was working, I don’t know if I did something for it to go away or not. I knew it had something to do with my badges, so I went to my profile to see what it was. I was that I had hit my three-year mark with WA.
I saw something else. It showed I was in the top 50. Oh, my goodness, I thought! My WA rank was 51 then it went to 47. Who would have thought! I was so tickled!
That was when I realized that even if I don’t have an online financial success story to tell with my website, I certainly have had many successful milestones during my journey through Wealthy Affiliate. I am proud of me!

I am not making any promises about making it to Ambassador status, because like I said, I don’t pay much attention to the ranking. By chance, if someday I do make it to Ambassador status I want to be able to maintain it. At this time, I don’t know if I’m ready for that.
Well, I didn’t click my heels three times, but I did work hard. I will continue to do my work because I believe in what I am doing. I may work slower than others, but I will get there, and that’s what is important; not how fast I get there.
Today, I stand with pride for reaching yet another milestone success at WA. I thank all of you for helping me to get there.
