		<description>You&#039;re welcome Lance. Look there&#039;s nothing wrong with looking for a job. Keep in mind that I had a full time job that paid my bills while I built up my business on the side. It made it much easier to focus and succeed this way. Because i didn&#039;t have the pressure that I had to succeed otherwise the lights would be shut off. lol So keep that in mind. Starting and succeeding in a new business takes a lot of time, patience, hard work and delayed gratification. </description>

		<description>Hi, Eddy -

Thanks much!  I like your style of writing, even though you have a few typos! Good mix of information, personal stories and humor.

		<description>Hey Mike,

Thanks for the kind words man. I&#039;m glad we&#039;re both on the same page when it comes to the mindset and work ethic aspect. 

I&#039;m glad you appreciate my honesty about one can expect with this business. I know there are people out there that want to make it seem like all this stuff is &quot;sweet&quot; and easy. But it sets people up for unrealistic expectations which not surprisingly leads people to being jaded about this business. So I try to set the bar high so it disuades the wrong people from getting into this because it&#039;s definitely not meant for everyone and that&#039;s fine.

You&#039;re right building a business is very difficult but you&#039;re absolutely correct about that old saying. That&#039;s why most people aren&#039;t business owners and are employees. Although in my mind it&#039;s always been harder for me to be an employee and have another person dictate how much money I&#039;ll make the rest of my life. But I&#039;m a weird one. lol

In any event, thanks again for the kind words. It&#039;s always great to hear when my efforts are appreciated. Good luck to you!</description>

		<description>Hey Samantha,

Thanks for chiming in and the kind words. You&#039;ve followed the path many aspiring business owners have followed. We&#039;ve all failed miserably once, twice or even many times. But without the failures we would have never learned to be successful and it wouldn&#039;t taste as good when you do finally achieve it. So I applaud you for pushing forward with your dreams and taking the right course of action by getting the additional help you need to succeed. Most people give up after failure but the ones that ultimately succeed are like and dust their shoulders off and keep coming back until they achieve their goals. 

I totally agree with you not everyone is cut out for a 9-5 or running a business. Different strokes for different folks. It&#039;s whatever makes you happy. I feel fortunate to be in a place to give folks the various legitimate options out there so they can determine what&#039;s the best place for them.  At the end of the day it&#039;s all about finding the right path and it looks like you&#039;re on the one that suits you.

Congrats! God bles you as well!</description>

		<description>Eddy, your comments here are right on the money! I just signed up with Wealthy Affiliate (7-day trial for $1) because I wanted to finally find out how to market effectively on the Internet. Before WA I&#039;ve tried marketing techniques that failed miserably. But now I think I&#039;m in a better place thanks to your blog. I am an aspiring affiliate marketer who thinks she deserves more than a regular 9 to 5 job. Let&#039;s face it- 9 to 5 is not for everyone just like affiliate marketing is not for everyone.

I will put forth the effort necessary to be successful in Wealthy Affiliate because I just feel like I was never cut for a 9 to 5 job.

I so enjoy reading your blog and very much inspired by you and hope to one match your success!

God bless.</description>

		<description>I hear what you&#039;re saying. But the point still holds true. I could work real hard at trying to do brain surgery on my own but it doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;ll master it on my own and If I do I&#039;m going to make a lot of deadly mistakes along the way that could have been avoided if I went to medical school. Obviously with affiliate marketing the consequences aren&#039;t as great. The point is why go trying this on your own and making unnecessary mistakes when there is a resource that can help you avoid them and learn faster. </description>

		<description>Hey Paul,

Thanks for the kind words. I&#039;m sorry to hear about your tough financial times and your experience with WA. Honestly you really need to learn a lot of basic internet skills to get the most out of WA. Even aside from that if you&#039;re living off of credit cards it just doesn&#039;t make sense to add another expense. As you read above, financial distress is one the reasons I list that people should avoid this business. Because it&#039;s not going to relieve that issue anytime soon. 

You&#039;re best bet is trying to focus on a traditional work at home job: www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs and then working your way towards that business assuming you work on your basic internet skills first. So no, don&#039;t give WA another go. Try to focus on getting a job to stop the bleeding first. I hope this makes sense. It may not be what you want to hear. But given your circumstances, I think it makes more sense.

You can also make a bit of money with many of my non-traditional opportunities listed here: www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations Most folks that take action on that stuff are making money. 

I hope this helps either way. </description>
