Hindsight is 20/20

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

So I have been reflecting on my "career" having been laid off from the mortgage business twice, and having recovered from a stroke and a painful divorce, and I have one thing that I regret the most in the past 10 years. Not communicating more in my marriage, not attending more classes to make my position in the mortgage field more "favorable" to my employers and not even investing more money into my 401k's. My one regret over the past 10 years is not following through with my interest in wealthy affiliate and not staying commited to my ideas and my internet business. The position I could be in now with 10 years in wealthy affiliate, wow, it just boggles my mind. Granted, I had absolutely no support from my family or friends 10 years ago, which I feel is vitally important. My current wife now is supporting me 150% and my friends are genuinely interested in how my business does over the next few months. The support that wealthy affiliate gives all of us is 2nd to none and I, for one, am very appreciative but I can't help but reflect where I would be had I stayed with WA 10 years ago.
