Background First
I have a Corporate Executive background having worked as a Senior Economist at the Central Bank in my country Zambia for a period of over Ten (10) years and prior as an Inspector of Taxes for over Five (5) years. In May 2014, I quit my lucrative job and decided to be an entrepreneur principally in the financial services sector and also in general business dealing and consulting. I have tried several business models since then including Money lending, fresh food supplies to an FMCG, Credit Rating, Business brokerage, Part-time lecturing at University, Advisor to Board of directors at a financial institution, trading in commodities, dealing in precious stones (Gold, Emeralds, Quartz), Evaluator of Banking and Finance Courses in Universities for accreditation, and several other business ventures.
For the past Six (6) years, I have met with little or no success in all my business ventures except to learn lessons therefrom. However, at the back of my mind all this while, my ultimate goal was to do business in international financial markets like trading in stocks online. The question is how I ended up at WA and my experience so far.

WA here I come
My experience of failures and little success clearly confirmed my long held position that my success in life would depend on tapping into the global community of business opportunities principally through the internet. So I continued with my search for an appropriate platform that would enable me operationalize my dream of having an online business. After reviews of several online business models, I accidentally stumbled upon Wealth Affiliate sometime back actually before now but I didn't take much interest in it. This month of October 2020, I took a much more focused approach in my search and research and decided I needed to settle for something worth my time that has been proven to work and not some make money get-rich-quick scam. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I found WA. After reading reviews about it, I could immediately sense that this is what I had been looking for. After all, I could give it a try at no cost and quit immediately I sensed that it didn't impress.

So far, its Great Being Here
I have arrived. Its been Eight (8) days since I joined the WA community and so far, I have never felt so satisfied in a long time. I feel accomplished already even before I make any money online. I just that I'm in the right place with the best there is on the market. The training by Kyle is so great; its beyond value for money. I have set up my own website with my own domain. This has been the greatest achievement in 2020. I have learnt how to set up a website from scratch- incredible. Setting up my own website, creating the content, knowing what is and how to achieve SEO, networking with like-minded people on the WA community has been truly liberating. I can't be happier.

My Goals for the Next 3- 6 months
I have no doubt that I will achieve the goals I have set for myself for the next 3 to 6 months assuming the support I'm finding at WA is sustained. In the short term, my greatest goal is to successfully complete the OEC training and register with credible affiliate programs in my chosen niche'. My chosen niche is online trading and investment in financial assets. Therefore, my target is to register with at least 10 affiliate programs with reputable and credible platforms that offer online trading and investment services to the investment community of online investors. In the next 6 months, my goal is to earn at least $1 from my online business. Yes. That's my goal and I'm looking forward to realizing that $1 before the end of the year 2020. If I can make that $1 from my online business before the end of the year, then I will achieve the ultimate goal of earning at least $5,000 per month going forward. This will be enough to make me realize my dreams of financial freedom and working from wherever I choose at my own pace.

What I'm willing to Offer in Return
My experience so far on WA is that this is a community where success is dependent on being helpful to others and not competing against each other. I have therefore dedicated a full time approach to this business to undertake all the training I need in order to be proficient in this online business. I'm spending not less than 10 hours each day to learn as much as I can. I'm now advanced in age at 45 years by the way. With this amount of time and knowledge gained, I hope to be helpful to those who will need help to achieve their dreams. Hopefully, the skills I will acquire here will enable me to become a WA Ambassador.
My ultimate goal is to make a good living out of this online business here on WA and enable me support my family comfortably. It is my heart felt dream that this online opportunity will facilitate my valuable community engagement contributions to the orphanage I support called House of Happiness for Children with Disabilities.

Own Final Thoughts
The search for self actualization is a very personal venture. Ambition and self awareness are a key component in achieving success. Key to all this is the reality of one's self and circumstances. Each man and woman should determine what makes them happy and pursue that to the best of their abilities. Conformity to societal expectations and definitions of success can lead to failure and huge dissatisfaction. A person should be willing to and should actually break off from societal expectations as he pursues his destiny. Only then can one reach the end of his life and proudly say I lived a worthy life. And in all this, the expression and practice of love to one another is the foundation of a successful life full of contentment. This love for other is best expressed by doing and engaging in that endeavor, activity and work of industry that one enjoys doing whether they get paid for it in monetary form or not. I'm very happy that I set out to find my passion and have gladly found my passionate online job facilitated by Wealthy Affiliate.
