Documenting This Journey With Complete Honesty
Being honest and straight forward has been my thing for quite some time. Not to get into a life story scenario about myself, but like many I have struggled with my worthiness. I was no saint in high school, was referred in my family as the jock, which of course inferred I was not that sharp, so I basically had a Chip on my shoulder and a bad attitude. Ended up getting high school done I joined the Army. Did 13 years in the Regular force, travelled around, mostly Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Got to a point that I knew I truly needed to come home to my love, Vancouver Island, get a life etc. etc. Ended up going to University for a Masters Degree, and wondered the whole time while attending. Why am I here, how could they have even let me in, I must be the dumbest one in the room, how can I be worthy to be in a higher educational setting... Got a very high GPA, shocked myself.
So my journey in affiliate marketing started a long time ago, I have been losing money for years at Affiliate Marketing. I wrote a book on Dog Training back in 2017. It did poorly at best, but my marketing was horrible. I tried virtually everything on the net, I sucked, just lost money. In my defense: I was also Married with two kids, working a full time job, still in the Army but the Reserve's (took a lot of my time anyway). At the same time I was trying to be a good husband and dad to my wife and kids, so this was always more important than my third job, my home based business. Talk about set up for failure. But I am thick, so I bashed on. Of course how could I have ever been successful giving the Marketing Biz so little of my time and just running around like a lunatic. Yaaa, I failed miserably, but I kept trying, stopping and starting, driving my poor spouse a little kooky. Enter 2025, ...the kids are older, I am no longer in the military, spouse still puts up with me :) All I have is a day time job and plenty of time to launch this business with very little excuses!! So, if your interested I will journal once a week to simply say what I am up too. Follow me if you will. Cheers. 14 March 2025.
