I want to thank you all for your comments and support. You've probably noticed that I haven't been posting. Lately I've been dealing with health and personal issues which have kept me distracted. However, I've realized that these are just excuses--obstacles that I need to work around, not roadblocks that should stop my entire business. So I am recommitting myself to my business. I hope you all will continue to join me in this journey as your support is a great encouragement.
Blessings,
Kyra

Who is Kyra?
Hey there everybody. Today I wanted to give you a little background on myself. First off, the name Kyra Michaels is a pseudonym. I chose to use a pseudonym because in my current profession I have a reputation to uphold. Also, as an aspiring fiction author, I had already made the decision to use a different name for my writing work; it only made sense that the same logic applied to this life goal as well.
Why do I want to build an online business? I grew up poor. I've struggled most of my life just to pay the bills. My dream has always been to travel the world, to meet new people and experience their culture. Even though I'm no longer poor, It's been pretty obvious for at least the last 5 years that that dream isn't going to happen with my current job.
Like many of you, I've been trying to make money online for a long time. But I never seriously tried until a couple of years ago. As I worked my way through different programs I would inevitably get stuck. Even programs that claimed to walk you through “step-by-step” or that offered support didn't help me.
I finally realized what the problem was. I am a perfectionist. If I don't understand something, I have a tendency to not do anything until I've learned as much about it as I can. Well, we all know how the internet is. I would try to learn and understand and get conflicting stories. And I would stop, not knowing what next step to take.
As soon as I made this discovery about myself, I knew I needed a mentor. I began ignoring all those other programs, looking only for people who were making money online that were offering coaching. Of course, everything I found was way out of my price range—there was no way I could afford that much money! When I saw Alex's video and the price I knew I had to take advantage of his offer.
So here I am. I'm very glad to be a part of such a wonderful group. I feel like I've already made progress, and, working together, we will accomplish great things.
Until next time,
Kyra
P.S. I will be out of town for a few days so I won't be replying to your comments. But don't let that stop you from posting them!

Back of the class
I hate to sound discouraged already, but I feel stuck. Everyone makes this stuff sound so easy. I have accomplished a few things today.
-I registered a domain name
-Started reading Alex's Post Launch Profits
Still need to do:
-get web hosting
-either transfer this blog over there or, if that's not possible, get a new one up
I've been looking at the web hosting and I'm in information overload. I know everyone recommends Host Gator. But I don't know what options I need, so I don't know what package to pick!
Geez, what ever happened to user friendly?
If anyone has any suggestions, please post them in the comments.
Til next time,
Kyra
In the beginning...
So, after years of trying to make money online, I signed up for Alex Jeffrey's coaching program. This is the beginning. And this blog will serve as a record of my journey. I welcome all of you who want to follow me as I do this and look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions. I will tell you all about myself soon, but for now I want to get back to learning about the features this blog offers.
Kyra
