Hello, and Welcome to our BLOG!
First, I want to thank you for taking the TIME to stop by and read our VERY FIRST BLOG POST EVER…
It just so happens that “Time” was one of the many reasons we started our business in Affilliate Marketing.
A little less than 2 years ago, I had a very special little girl come into my life. At that time, it became very apparent to me that I needed to come up with a different way to generate an income, that would be over and above what I was presently doing, and at the same time, it needed to be able to grow and expand if needed.
Working Two full time jobs doesn’t leave much TIME for anything else, including family. In the past, I had played with Stocks, Crypto, and even Selling on ebay, but none of those would work for me at the present time and for the present situation. At the age of 55, a lot of people thought I was crazy to start up a business, but I didn’t want to go into retirement with the dream of being a greeter and passing out Smiley Face Stickers at the front door of any business. 😁
But… that’s not the main reason I decided to start this new adventure.
Why then? You ask… Good Question…
This would be a good time to introduce you to my “WHY”
The Little Girl in the picture is Harper Grace. She was born with Spina Bifida. Harper Grace is not only my grandbaby, but she is also my Motivation, Determination, Business Partner, and much more. She is my “WHY”. When we are together, it is ALL ABOUT US…
She continues to amaze her doctors and her physical therapist with her progress. Her attention to detail is unbelievable and her determination does not allow her to accept that she has Special Needs. I could not have asked for a better business partner.
The reality is, Harper will need special equipment and even special surgeries in the future, and Grandpa will provide when those needs come. To meet those needs, and to gain more of that precious time (which seems to fly by faster as we get older) we decided on Affiliate Marketing as the business that would work the best for us.
With No Inventory, Very Mobile business model, which allows you the freedom to work from almost anywhere, a lower initial startup cost, and lower overhead cost than most other businesses, especially the Brick-and-Mortar stores. The PROS for Affiliate Marketing far outweighed the CONS when it comes to Making Money Online. With that said, Harper Grace Solutions LLC was formed as the Solution to our Problem.
We look forward to making weekly posts about our Journey in Affiliate Marketing, and we would love for you to take the ride along with us, using our Blog. We will be sharing our Ups and Downs as well as the Mistakes we’ve made and the Success we have had along the way. Harper Grace will probably have some tips to share along our way as well, and of course, we will include those.
We encourage you to comment on our posts and to be sure to join our list. By doing so, we can keep you informed of our latest posts.
Here’s to seeing Dreams Discovered!
And what a beautiful why! It’s great to see you having such a clear reason for what you want to achieve, I guess it can be easy to let ourselves down from time to time, but it is going to be very difficult to live with if you let Grace down!
I am interested that you call her your business partner, is there a specific role she plays? I would love to find out more about that.
I look forward to hearing more of your story.
Thank you Tony for your comments! I agree, I could let myself down and probably get over it, but NOT HARPER GRACE!
Everything about this Business was centered around Harper from the very beginning. The Bird on the our logo – one of her first and one of her favorite words.
She can spot them anywhere… It also represents that we can fly as high as we want to. In short, there isn’t one decision that she doesn’t have some sort of input in.
It only made sense for me to give her the credit of my business partner, since “HarperGraceSolutions,LLC” was HER solutions to HER future obstacles. 😉
thank you for a great post! I love that you focused souch on the “why” as it is so critically important for becoming successful. what gets me through those hard times when I want to quit is remembering my “why”. look forward to your future posts and wishing you all the best!
Denny, thanks for your comment! When ever I have a challenge that I come across, I think of Harper and what a drive she has. I even have a picture of her posted as my Background on my computer with a Huge smile on her face. A Daily reminder of “WHY”
Congratulations on your decision to start an affiliate marketing business. I am glad you have such a strong WHY to drive you success. I look forward to seeing Harper Grace’s progress. Keep us posted.
CJ
Thank you for your comment! She is a HUGE motivator and when she looks at you with those sweet blue eyes, I Melt! But that’s what Grandpa’s are supposed to do right? 😁
Your daughter is adorable, I too, am motivated to make a full-time income online so I can have the time and money for my family! Look forward to watching your journey, and wish you success!
Thank you Alison for your kind words! “Family” is huge when it comes to motivation. I hate missing Family dinners because of work obligations. This business will help me change that!
That’s really a cool why. You have all the motivation anyone can ask for as you’re doing it for a loved one. You sound like a proud grandpa. I wish you all the best!
Thank you Victoria for your comments! You are right, I am a very Proud Grandpa, and I guess you can tell “WHY” 😉😁
Beautiful! Thank you for so clearly communicating and for sharing the wonderful story of Harper Grace. Thank you for loving her in such tender ways and giving yourselves so fully to providing for her needs ahead of time. The Lord bless you as your grow on this journey together!
Michael, Thank you so much for your kind words. The Lord has truly blessed me beyond measure with this little girl. I never would have imagined that we would have the bond that we do. She is my Beautiful and Perfect “WHY”
I think 55 years young is a perfect time to start a business, especially when you have such a beautiful why. Your grand daughter will be proud of you. I wish you lots of success.
Thank You Alan, your very kind! I continue to learn something new every single day!
What a great and beautiful WHY! What a motivational force ! I wish you the best success ever!
I love your website. Minimalist and kept simple. Really I love it. Grandpa is still young and your WHY will keep you young and healthy for years to come. Commit to it, I want to read more from you. Thanks for sharing.
Martin

It’s good to see the due dilligence on your part. It’s a very smart idea to weigh out the PROS and CONS of making money online with affiliate marketing as the business model.
I look forward to watching your partnership as it grows.
Robert, Thank you for the comment. I look forward to the Pros ahead in this new year!
A wonderful first blog and a beautiful WHY. Harper is your inspiration and her needs can be fulfilled with the affiliate marketing you have started. That is very inspiring and will give you a lot of motivation. Well done and I will keep reading your progress. All the best. Atif
Atif, Thank you so much for your kind words. She is the perfect Motivator… I received a shirt from one of the Kids fro Christmas that read,”When she says Eee Eee!, that means come on GrandPa!” It was adorable and SO TRUE! Thank you again, we look forward to journey ahead!
What a great WHY… I’m right there with you, I now have 2 grandbabies… Such a great story…
I look forward to reading your blogs and see where this takes you.
Sandy
Sandy, It’s truly amazing what the Grandkids can get us Grandparents to do isn’t it? I could not ask for a better “Why”
Hi David.
I love to discover new blogs, and I’m glad I found yours.
What a great grandpa you are!
I am a father of two great boys and they, along with my lovely wife, are the biggest reasons why I started affiliate marketing. I have tried and tested a few online business models. Some of mentioned above I also did.
Flexibility with time and location-independent business were my two reasons to dive into affiliate marketing.
Looking forward to supporting you both on the way to the top!
Happy New Year!
Tom, Flexibility is a key factor for me. At the present time I work 2 full time jobs, which left little time to start something new. Affiliate Marketing model allowed me the ability to set my own pace and work on it when I could. I see my focus shifting more toward this business as I learn and progress. Hope you have a Great 2024!
