I though I joined this place in October of 2007, apparently not since it says September. Oh well...

10. Years. Wow!!

Given how I started out, by writing an eBook on weight loss than made a single freaking sale, to upgrading to bum marketing, and then finally finding WA, it's been a crazy journey.

I want to tell everyone that this community has been at the time of me joining, to today, the BEST place I can recommend for setting up a business.

When I was a college freshman starting out, lost on what to do with my life and wanting to somehow make money to pay for my classes as well as find a job where I would be happy, I never imagined that 10 years hence, I'd be doing THIS thing we call online marketing full time.

Working from home thanks to WA has really opened up a lot of amazing opportunities for me and I love what I do. Having my own hours, choices and self reliance falls right into my philosophy of life and work.

I can tell you that I'd be a lot more successful earlier on if I didn't make foolish and unethical mistakes, things that today I still regret but made full amends on.

if there is anything this 10 year elderly WA man can pass onto the newcomers and existing WA members, it's that:

You really need to stop distracting yourself and follow the MAIN training. I have said this like a broken record in nearly all of my blog posts here.

If I followed that training sooner, I'd have been a lot richer and wouldn't fall for mistakes that cost me everything, several times in life.

-You CAN work from home.

-You can LIVE and make GREAT money from home.

-You CAN travel and enjoy life.

And all through this awesome business and how WA shows you to infiltrate it :)
