Hi there! My name is SzMin Yeh, but you can call me Chris. I’m in my 40s—a time in life that often feels like being stuck in the middle of a very full sandwich. On one side, there are my aging parents who need care and support. On the other, my two adorable daughters who light up my world but also rely on me completely. Thankfully, I’m not doing it alone—my incredible wife and I are a team, and she’s my rock through all the chaos.
If you’re in your 40s too, you might feel a similar weight of responsibility. It’s a time when the reality of time and financial pressures hit hard. Between career, family, and planning for the future, it can feel like life is racing ahead faster than we can keep up. I’ve felt that stress deeply, but I’ve also learned that challenges like these often hold the keys to growth and change.
A Wake-Up Call
Two years ago, my father had a serious medical issue that shook me to my core. It was a wake-up call—a reminder that life can throw curveballs when you least expect it.
In that moment, I realized my stable 9-to-5 income wasn’t enough to protect my family. What if something else happened? How would we cope? The pandemic was also in full swing, and it became painfully clear how fragile the world’s systems really are.
But during that same time, I noticed something extraordinary happening. Despite all the chaos, one industry—digital marketing—was thriving. People were finding new ways to earn money online, building flexibility and security for their families. I wanted to be part of that.
Yet, I had no online presence, no followers, and no experience in social media. I felt completely out of my depth.
The Words That Changed Everything
Then, I attended a virtual event that flipped my perspective. One simple phrase stood out to me:
“Do it messy. Do it scared. Do it anyway.”
Those words gave me the courage to start. I didn’t need to be perfect or fearless—I just needed to take the first step.
So I did.
Starting My Journey
Every evening after work, I devoted three hours to learning. I bought my first digital product and dived into it with enthusiasm. But like many others starting out, I hit roadblocks. I’d try one product, get stuck, and then jump to another, thinking it would be the solution.
It was frustrating and, honestly, disheartening. At one point, I almost quit. But then I realized something: success isn’t about hopping from one thing to another. It’s about choosing a path, sticking with it, and putting in the work—even when it feels tough.
“If only someone had told me that earlier,” I thought.
And that’s when I had an idea. What if I could be that someone for others?
Why I Started This Blog
This blog is my way of giving back. I want to share my experiences, my mistakes, and my lessons with anyone who’s struggling to make money online or find their way in digital marketing.
Affiliate marketing—the path I’ve chosen—isn’t just about selling products. It’s about helping people. It’s about connecting others with tools, knowledge, and solutions that can genuinely improve their lives.
I know how it feels to be stuck, to feel like giving up is the only option. But I also know that when you keep going, when you refuse to quit, you can achieve amazing things.
A Message for You
To anyone reading this who feels lost or overwhelmed: You’re not alone. Life is full of challenges, but there’s always a way forward. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s scary—but you can do it anyway.
When you visit this blog, I hope you find inspiration to keep going. Whether it’s in your journey to build an online business or simply navigating the ups and downs of life, my goal is to remind you that you have the strength to overcome whatever comes your way.
Because of you, lives—including your own—can be changed for the better.
Let’s take the next step together.
