I hope to gain the skills, confidence, persistence and such that I will begin to earn more too though.<br /><br />Honestly, the whole experience reminds me a bit of a recurring dream I used to have for many, many years when I was a child. There were sometimes variations of this dream, but it usually went something like this. I'd be walking through the shopping mall with my sisters or other people I knew. And I would spot a quarter on the floor and I would pick it up. Then I would notice another one and another one. I'd pick them each up and soon had a couple dollars. To a child a couple dollars could be pretty exciting. But as I would pick up more and more quarters pretty soon I noticed the entire hallway was scattered with hundreds of quarters. And I was the only one picking them up. Everyone else either seemed not to notice them or didn't care. I thought there must be hundreds of dollars just in quarters and just kept scooping them up and couldn't believe no one else was as well.<br /><br />Maybe I won't make hundreds of dollars from my little ventures. Actually, I have earned a bit over a hundred dollars...over a long period of time spread out...so I guess it would be more accurate to say maybe I won't make a full time income out of my little ventures. But I do know of those who do. And in the meantime, I have fun and gain a little bit of pocket money...but more importantly I gain new skills and confidence. And I like that part the most.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1541076953793360910-895318793122334375?l=dreamspinmoney.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharynnoreply@blogger.com0
