I desperately wish there would have been a career for teens online when I was growing up. I would have been happy with summer jobs teenagers could do online! I always wanted to be my own boss.
My Affiliate Marketing Journey
My affiliate marketing journey began mentally, when I was 25 ( the year was 1990). I became a legal secretary in 1988 after having flunked out of Stony Brook University. My mother told me I didn’t have a choice and that I was going to be a legal secretary so that I could make a decent living. What else was I going to do? Hell, she was the one keeping a roof over my head. Didn’t have much choice there!
I Hate Working For Other People
I always hated Corporate America. I hated bosses, I hated office politics, I never got along with others and I always got fired from my jobs after 2 months. Office politics and kissing ass was not my thing. There had to be a better way.
I Couldn’t Hold a Job
The longest I ever stayed on my job in my 20’s was 1 year. In my 30s, I managed to stay for almost 2 years. Then I hit the jackpot and was able to stay at one job for 5 years and 3 months – until I got fired!
I Wanted to Be My Own Boss!
I always wanted my own online business but I just had no clue how to go about it. My first idea was to create a dating service. I knew nothing about the internet. I thought I’d build a brick and mortar dating service.
Fast forward, 2007… I had finally had enough. I had been a legal secretary since I was 22 and hated every minute of it.
