58 minutes last night

by Wellesley
(Jamaica)

Last night I had the pleasure of speaking to an ardent fan of my website, Jaynia (she doesn't mind me referencing her at all).

Jaynia is a fellow Jamaican, and though not living here at this time, she is still rooted and grounded in the Jamaican culture. We definately have that in common!

In fact, she has a popluar Youtube channel about Jamaican patios, called Jamaican Sinting.

Two days earlier she sent me an email saying she'd like to speak to me.

She was very very impressed with my website and have been (secretly) following my site for a while now - finally decided to reach out to me.

Well we talked, and almost an hour (58 minutes to be exact).

At the heart of the discussion was about how I did it; how I created and maintained such a successful website. She wanted to get something like mine going as well. A hub to share her passion.

Well before I answered her, I stunned her by telling her that I still have a full time job! And that up to two years ago, was also studying by distance education - with a family!

Now I certainly would not encourage you to try all at once, absolutely not, but I think you get the idea, yes you CAN have your online business and still have your day job, like me - at least as a start.

I told her about this, the SBI way, the simple (not easy), but a simple and most effective way to a meaningful source of income from the internet.

Of course, I didn't need to say much, she was already sold, my website was a living, breathing testimony..

I just encouraged her to watch the 30 minute video they have.

In my mind, it captures everything you need to know about how SBI works in the simpliest way.
I then gave her this link to my personal story.

SBI allowed me to share my passion for my country in a fun way - and profit from it too!

Well Jaynia is off reading more about SBI, but I enjoyed the wonderful feeling of sharing my site, my 'how-I-did-it' and my success story with others, especially those close to me.

I can't wait for my first daughter to get big enough :-)

A great friend to Jamaica!
by: Guinevere

and all who know Wellsley Gayle! I wish the best to any of you who venture into this business model. I have followed this site for years and continually watch it grow and prosper! This is mostly a testimonial to Wellsley's kindness and generosity, but if he say's something works...I trust him!

Wellsley, you are a gracious man and deserves all God's prosperity for the good you bring to this little corner of the Internet! May it grow in bounds with the love that you share!

I am humbled
by: Wellesley

Oh Gosh, thanks so much for the positive feedback my friends :-) Believe or not, but you are a great part of my inspiration.

For the person, I think Candy, that said she emailed me and did not get a response, I apologize, I really do try my best to respond to every email.

Could you please resend to wellesley(at)my-island-jamaica.com again?

But, all in all, I really, really, really appreciate your comments my friends. And yes, you too are my motivation!

And just in case, I get too busy later, please note that I do wish for you and yours the very best of this season.

-Wellesley
