Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a prosperous 2022!

I started on my new years resolution a month ago, which was to get serious about my business by going back to the WA basics! My other new years resolution is to post a WA Blog more frequently as well, I am aiming for every Saturday since we are starting 2022 on a one (hope that means its a relaxed year!). I would love to hear your feedback and if you comment and have a WA blog you want me to look at and comment on just message me!

I have been a member of wealthy affiliate here for so long it feels. Sometimes the progress feels so painfully slow. The main reason for this is not devoting time every day and also getting distracted with tangential things.

When I was learning about keywords I got obsessed with the rankings, I downloaded a program to analyze keyword rankings and agonized over that. I became obsessed with trying to learn every SEO trick and add these to every article. When I started the social media section I became obsessed with social media and felt I needed to learn all about how to get more followers and got distracted again with similar results.

Not to say all my time was wasted, working to support my family, spending time with my kids, taking internet and college business classes. All of these are valuable things. However these are not the problem.

Getting off on tangents (mentioned above), becoming overcome with depression when my dad and grandmother died, getting overwhelmed with all the bad news coming out of the media the past couple years, these are the things that have sapped my strength and damaged my focus.

A few weeks ago I asked someone in the WA chat why my keywords were not ranking very well on my website, fairycirclegarden.com . They seemed shocked that I had only gotten out 18 articles in 2 years. My reply was "Well I am very busy!" and "Yes but they are really good articles!" It took me a day or two to realize what a cop out that was.

I am done getting distracted with tangents, tricks, and unproductive thoughts! My advice to everyone is just stick to the WA training! If it says publish 3 short articles a week of 1000 words, do what it says! Don't listen to some SEO "expert" tell you your articles need to be 3000 words each and have this, that, and the other. KEEP IT SIMPLE!

I am now 100% committed to doing things the WA way. I sat down with my wife and we planned out our blog content publishing schedule for January. We are going to publish articles every Monday, Wednsday and Friday come hell or high water! We plan to publish more articles in the next month than we have in the last year and we are allready well on our way. Then keep that going into February and beyond for the rest of the year.

It is so easy to get distracted, so don't wander in the wilderness like I did. Get up in the morning, make WA the first thing you open, and make your website your main focus. People all over the world, get up, drive across town, work all day to make some company richer and then drive home to do the same again the next day!

When it comes to working on our own success however, sometimes it feels impossible to do the same thing for ourselves as we have done for others. From now on I will be working on my WA and blog for most of every day just as hard as I worked for all those other places my whole life. After just one month of making this my top focus I am more happy than ever before.

I wish you all a physically and spiritually healthy, wealthy, and happy 2022!

Getting serious and going to basics is a great goal. I believe in achievable goals. Wish you success in 2022.

Thank you I could not agree more! I have been achieving most of my blog goals so far this year and feel like I am mastering these basics a little more every day.

Wow, Stanley! Looking pretty dapper in your new profile picture, my friend!

Jeff

Very awesome, Jeremy! You have the right attitude, my friend!

Best success to you in 2022!

Jeff

Thank you for the encouragement and I wish you a successful 2022 as well. love your avatar picture, I am from Texas too!

You're very welcome, Jeremy! Where in Texas, my friend? I'm still a "Texasnational", but have been living in Kansas for the last 36 years after getting out of the Army! (or perhaps an expat Texan!)

Jeff

Sorry I missed this comment! I was born in Dallas, grew up in South Garland, Terrell, and Wylie, lived in East Texas for a few years around Sulphur Springs and Texarkana, and currently live in Wylie.

Wiw, Jeremy, you've been around then! I basically stayed in Dallas and the southern small town of Desoto, before I left for the Army, my friend!

Jeff

That's crazy, I know right where that is although its on the other side of Dallas from me. My Aunt lived in Desoto and I used to go there every Christmas from the time I was a little kid until just this year when she moved away :(

It's good to know that we know some of the same ground, Jeremy! Small world, eh?

Jeff

Having a plan and seeing it happen is what separates the people who make progress and those who just make plans.
John

Thank you so much for your comment. Unfortunately I have been guilty of having "vague" plans and that has caused difficulties with my goal setting. I don't know if its my ADD or what but It is so easy for me to get sidetracked sometimes! I have a firm plan now and that plan is WA EVERYDAY!
