My Background Story
Bequia Island
I was born and raised on the Caribbean island of Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I was a high school teacher who was becoming highly allergic to chalk dust so for my health and well being I had to pursue my other interest. So with a heavy heart, I left my country of birth after suffering the misfortunates of the lost of my father and grandmother before I migrated to the United States to complete a BS in Accounting at Brooklyn College which I successfully completed in May 2000.
Although I worked as a bookkeeper for a while, I always wanted to be my own boss. I knew that someday I will accomplish that goal. Then, I will be able to implement both my teaching and accounting knowledge and experience within my business.
More importantly, having seen my grandmother and mother ran a family grocery store, I guess that’s what cemented the idea within my mind that having and running a home business was possible. Also, the fact that I was able to be a part of the daily operations after school everyday peaked my curiosity and highed my belief that it was possible to have and run a home business because I was able to see it in action within my own family.
Additionally, I had the opportunity of owning and operating a home business as a seamstress for a few years before I migrated to the United States. My mother was a seamstress so I had the good fortune to learn that skill from her.
Port Elizabeth, Bequia
Consequently, after I completed my degree in accounting, I began researching home based businesses and so I became quite interested in Affiliate Marketing as a home business venture I can undertake. Therefore, in 2003, I began an online search for programs that will enable me to create an online business. For over, ten years, I pursue this online quest. I spent several thousand of dollars trying to create a successful online home business and to get the education I needed to become a successful affiliate marketer.
My Journey to SFI and Wealthy Affiliate
In the end, I was left wanting an online home business and the education needed to run a successful home business. However, I managed to purchase an e-Commerce business which I still own and need to make a success.
Although it was a tedious undertaking, it was one that I was willing to take. So, I did not give up after ten years with no success. I continue to search and in 2014 I was invited to join for Free a real online business program – SFI – Strong Future International which I am now an affiliate for almost five years as of the date of this writing. However, I needed to take my SFI business to the next level, so I searched for a platform that will give the specific education to promote my business on a larger scale and make it a great success.
About a year ago, I was lucky to find Wealthy Affiliate – an education platform. I am a premium member for over a year as of this writing. Together, I use these two programs to build and run a successful online business. I have now achieved my goal of owning and running my own online home business. ‘Those who want to succeed will find a way, those who don’t will find an excuse.” Leo Aquila.
