Hey Joy that’s awesome! When we’re so focused on where we’re going it’s sometimes hard to acknowledge how far we’ve already come, but success tends to compound and I have no doubt you’ll continue to grow drastically in the future as long as you keep persisting..

Yep, my first blog was terrible also. It amazes me how many people blame everyone else for their failure. The fact of the matter is that the blog did not adhere to basic business principals. It was only my fault that it failed. Being able to take responsibility for that was so important because it allowed me to recognize that I could make changes and come back stronger.

Love those reasons. No better way to get revenge on somebody who doubted or criticized you than to become extremely successful, am I right?

Here’s to making 2016 great!

So true what you write! I have made MANY mistakes to get to where I am today, and I’m nowhere near where I want to be yet…. but I’m much further on than I was when I started, and I’m not quitting.

My first blog was completely DIRE, TRIPE, RUBBISH!! I was pleased to be rid of it, but it served the purpose of showing me what NOT to do, and teaching me WordPress. Subsequent blogs also came and went with varying degrees of success and I’m still ditching old sites that didn’t do brilliantly, to clear the decks for my current site.

As for my “why” – surprisingly enough it’s not that I’m desperate for the money. It will fund extras, but I could get along OK without them. Two big reasons:
1) Something to get out of bed for each day (other than being a “lady who lunches” LOL)
2) To prove the “doubters” in my family wrong

Let’s show ’em all in 2016 🙂

Joy
