Where has 2018 gone? It feels like it’s gone so fast. What a year it’s been. For me it has been a year of hard work. It has been a year of personal growth, going out of my comfort zone, and dreaming big! Not everything has panned out exactly as I’d planned, but that’s life isn’t it? I keep going, and I try even harder. Life would be boring if it was all linear. Well at least that’s my philosophy and I’m sticking to it!
I hope your year has been a good one for you, and I hope you’re all looking forward to an even better 2019. I know I am. I’ve set myself some pretty audacious goals, and I’m going to work harder than ever to achieve them. I’ll try to work smarter too, and I’ll be looking at how I can be even more efficient with my time so that I’ve got the maximum amount of time to spend with our lovely boys. After all, they are my ‘why’.
Work from anywhere in the world online
Each month I like to recap about my work on the go. Having a career from home means that I can work from home or anywhere in the world. We didn’t travel anywhere this month, so work mostly was from home. However, I do love to get out and about with my laptop and work from wherever I like. It keeps me motivated, and it means that when our boys are doing their activities I can get some work done. It’s win all round.
We are right in the middle of summer here, and when it isn’t crazy hot, summer is my favourite season. It means outdoors, sunshine, blue skies, and adventures. Whilst it can also mean not sleeping and sunburn, I don’t like to focus on that! We always remember our hats and sunscreen and away we go.
St. Kilda beach … a tried and true favourite
Our beautiful St. Kilda beach is just a hop, skip and a jump away so that is one of my favourites. People flock to St. Kilda beach in the beautiful weather, and depending on the conditions people bring their kites. It is just a delight when the sky is full of colourful kites.
We also got some new beach stuff for Christmas so of course we thoroughly tested it all out!
Here’s my boys on their new boogie boards : )
Clifton Springs
Clifton Springs is a lovely part of the world. It’s on the Bellarine Peninsula, which is always a fantastic day trip for us. It wouldn’t be a trip to Clifton Springs without spending lots of time in the park. On this particular day we managed to escape an absolute downpour! The boys did get some great play time in before we had to make a run for it.
Alma Park and Oval
This is another one of our tried and true favourites. We throw some sporting equipment in the car and off we go. Cricket gear, baseball bat, basketball, tennis balls. You name it, we take it, and sometimes we’re there for hours. The boys are very happy throwing the ball to each other, kicking a footy, and getting some energy out. Sometimes I join in and sometimes I don’t. My footy skills aren’t really up to scratch but I still have a lot of fun.
The park is always an opportunity for the boys to play and for me watch and work at the same time.
Overall, it’s been a great month and a great year. I’m motivated to make 2019 an even better year. I read a fantastic quote today. It is “My biggest fear is being in the same place this time next year. Ask for success.”
That really resonated with me. I certainly want to be a better position this time nest year, and I’m not afraid to work for it. Now that I know I can make money online anywhere, there is nothing stopping me.

When I looked back, I realized that I too didn’t achieve much in year 2018. Time flies so fast. Working from home is always my dreams and thanks to an awesome program that I joined one year ago, I managed to get some results and will quit my job in another few months time to work at home. Do you have any tips to a newbie like me who’s going to work at home soon?
Hi Florence, it sounds like maybe you achieved more than you think in 2018? If you’re already seeing good results for the first year then you’re doing very well!
All I would say Florence is that I believe it’s a good idea to really build your online business to a point where it is making consistent revenue, and is on an upwards trajectory before quitting your job.
I wish you all the very best.

Thank you for sharing with us this great article on making money online anywhere.Many people are not happy with the salary they are having and the pressure of their boss.The solution is to make money online and without pressure of the boss.
I like the idea of being my own boss.It sounds good that’s why I decided to start earning money online and very soon I will fire my boss.
I like being on beach with my laptop an make money .That’s my dream life and I will achieve it.
Hi Julienne,

Hi Tsqaure,
This isn’t my holiday, it’s just where I work from sometimes when I’m out and about with my laptop or go for the day. Unfortunately I haven’t had a true ‘holiday’ in a little while but fingers crossed I will soon!
I’m glad to hear that you’ll be taking full advantage of the training and support within Wealthy Affiliate. It is all there and it’s up to everyone to translate that into action.

Hello Melissa,
I am very happy to know that You’ve enjoyed Your 2018 years which was filled with hard-work, new experiences, self-growing and coming out of Your comfort zone. I truly hope Your 2019 will also be huge and meaningful in Your life, and I wish You big success in achieving Your set goals!
I couldn’t agree with You more that the best thing about working from home is being able to travel and work from anywhere in the world! You feel free- not restricted by anything or anyone. Travelling also makes me very motivated, as working from new environments makes for some fresh & unique experiences, as well as boosts Your creativity and keeps Your mind clear and sharp. These are very gorgeous and stunning places which You & Your family visited Melissa. I am especially fond of the place called Clifton Springs, as I found it to be extraordinary and captivating. It has interesting plants & trees to showcase- I’ve never seen anything like them before in my life.
All in all, thanks for the great article and keep up the good work ; )
Happy New Year!

Hi!
You have given an opportunity to tour some beautiful places in your part of the world. Actually, I had to take a break because I was full busy in December with office and this part-time affiliate marketing. The quote about asking for success and not being in the same place next year inspires a lot and I too want to quit my Job after becoming a success in online marketing- may be next year.Thanks for sharing this post.
Hi Prabakaran,
I do love that quote too. I find it very inspiring! I wish you much success. Perhaps at this time next year you will be able to look back and see just far how you’ve come. That’s what I will be doing at the end of this year. And hopefully I will have met and exceeded my own goals.
All the very best to you.
Cheers
Melissa
