About Me

Ok… This is a bit long… But if you want to know about me, then here it is!

Hi there, my name is Lynne Carey.  I am an Australian, living in Australia, and have been working online for around 7 years.  Well maybe I shouldn’t say ‘working’ because, I think I was like a lot of people and I didn’t really understand what ‘working’ online actually meant.

I have been trying to work out, working on line for around 7 years… perhaps that is better lol…
I am currently 56 years of age, have been a single mother of 5 children, who are now all grown up, and now a grandmother to 6 beautiful grandchildren… who call me Grammy

Currently, I have my elderly Father living with me, and I retired from my ‘day’ job of nursing, so I could be home to be more available for looking after my Dad.  We have 3 dogs who I am sure are the luckiest puppies on the planet… (see the picture).

Now maybe you don’t care at all about all that stuff, and that’s fine, however, I mention it mostly so that people know I am a real person, and not just someone out to ‘rip them off’, as sadly can be the case with a lot of sites online.

One thing I have learned over the years is that there is really no overnight fortune to be made, although certainly a well-paying business can be built up for sure, if you have the right direction and help from the right people… And there-in lay the problem… Finding the right people to help you.

My Online Journey

This all started very slow, although I was mistakenly under the impression that I should be able to get it up and running in a 5 week holiday I took from my nursing job…. Lol… Gotta laugh.  Well… you can stop laughing now!
If you have been trying to get something started online, then you know the chances of me or anyone being able to do that, are… well perhaps similar to winning the lottery!

Fact is, despite my overly optimistic start, during these years, I have learned a lot.  As do a lot of others learning this ‘trade’, I spent most of those with a ‘Newbie’ and a ‘Learners’ mindset.  Constantly thinking I didn’t know enough to recommend anything or to teach anything…

Well, there is nothing wrong with always learning, in fact we have to do that with pretty much anything we do, but eventually we are not really a Newbie anymore, and at some point in the last few years I decided I should embrace my Non-Newbie status.

Do I consider myself an expert?

Well, no I don’t, however, that is really a subjective thing, because truth be told compared to those who are just trying to get started then with the things I know how to do now, I could well be perceived as an expert.  As in any sphere of life, there are always people who know less than you and those that know more…  Online business is no different.

My Business Shift

When I started out, I didn’t know who I could trust and who I should follow, and when you are trying to weed all that out, you can sometimes make some not so great choices, but you don’t find out until later… after you have spent your money, and perhaps even more importantly your time.

When I started this site it was with a non-personal focus, and really I didn’t want to ‘put myself’ out there online.  I mean, why would anyone what to listen to me anyway? Right?

Then in more recent times when I looked at the people that I respect who run their businesses online, they actually DO put themselves out there, and I came to the realization that I need to change my direction.
So…

I put my picture in the header…. That was actually difficult.  And I still have not brought myself to do videos, but that is what I intend to start sometime soon.

In the meantime, you might notice some older things on my site that don’t reflect this ‘new’ approach… however, my aim is to gradually change things and to include myself as part of the ‘package’ and focus on what I can offer other people learning this online thing.

Sure some people won’t like it, that’s fine… but there are some that will, and they are the people that I want to work with.  People who resonate with me, who I am and the journey I have had, and am still having.

What makes me different?

Well, ultimately that will be for you to decide… but my intention is to always be ethical (which I have always tried to be, even with my ‘impersonal’ approach), honest and with YOUR best interests as a priority over my own potential gain.

I can share information hopefully that will be easily understood and helpful, particularly for those just getting started and I will occasionally review a product or suggest a purchase (which will in most cases provide me with an affiliate commission), however, I promise that I would never promote something that I don’t believe in.
Anything that I promote that are other people’s products will either come from someone who I know shares similar values to myself, and their product is quality and superb value.

I will often have purchased that product myself, although may not always, depending.

I want to be approachable and contactable to be able to help you with things that you find challenging online. So if you have any questions or comments, I am very happy to receive them, and you can easily use my contact form.  I will endeavor to get back to you as soon as possible, although occasionally there may be a delay of a day or two depending on the day of the week.

So that just about covers ‘About Me’, and I look forward to meeting you online and perhaps getting to know you better.

Take Care,

Lynne
