Lessons From 2020. As this was not an easy year for many, we all are here today and it might be time to make a list of what lessons this year gave to each one of us.

Hello everyone at WA!

In a couple of days we all be saying "Good Bye" to 2020, but we might wake up on January 1st 2021 to see everything might be the same :

I wish I could have a magic wand and make everything better for everyone around the world. but life is not this way, so here I am in front of my laptop and writing about what I've learned from this year and taking notes to make 2021 a better year.

Nothing Is For Sure

As 2020 started like any other year, and it looked like it was another regular year, with some challenges and some changes, but I'm sure to think just a few people knew about what was going to happen.

We all went from one day living a regular life to the next morning where everything changed.

Our lifestyle, our jobs, schools, healthcare and you might have a few more things on your list.

I've learned to listen and to be ready to make those changes that will help me to keep going.

Learn To Adapt To Changes Fast

Once a good friend told me, if I don't make the changes I need, I will not be doing good at all!

This year, I learned how to make some changes in my lifestyle fast, but I also I learned to be fast to take decisions to keep myself and my family safe.

I'm lucky to be part of this amazing community and have my website to keep working on it and I'm sure I took the right path.

I also had to get used to stay at home all the time and quit going out once in a while. It was sad for moments to think about all those business owners I couldn't support anymore as I quit going out to restaurants or other stores.

Learn Fast

2020 came hard to teach many of us how to make some changes about how we do business and how we learn.

Many business owners and employees are working from home and students are learning from home.

We all are learning how to get conected with the internet and make our lives keep going.

Understand Others

We are not the same, and some might need to think and do different things.

Some are lucky to stay at home and work from there, while some need to wake up early to go to their jobs.

As a mother of two sons who are doctors, and my daughter in law who is also a doctor, I know how hard some people are working every day with no stopping.

I learned to understand others and understand why other do things differently.

While some do better, some need to work harder, and everything is good.

I learned we all need from each other, and I could also can help other from my little place where I live on this world.

I've learned we can help each other, as we work on our websites, we can help each other, and we can make things happen.

I've learned that we might do things in a different way, but I love to see how each one of us share here at WA, as each one of us can achieve a goal!

Learn To Relax and To Take A Break

2020 has not been an easy year, and it has put in front of each one of us different challenges.

I've learned to relax and to tell myself this is also OK.

Taking a break once in a while is also good for everyone, as we all work on our website, there might be days the to do list might be long.

Taking a break and enjoying a good cup of coffee or a cup of tea will help anyone to feel better and go back to work later in better conditon.

Go out for a walk was also recommended by the government and by the doctors to help us to stay healthy and fit, but this is also good for our business, as you might get a new idea for a new post while taking a break.

It happens to me often, that I can think about how to write a new article for my website when I'm taking a break.

I also learned that I can take a break from the news for sometime.

2021 ... What's Next?

It might be a new year that will be better or might be here with new challenges, I really don't know.

But I need to be ready to keep going and never quit.

As an affiliate marketer, 2020 gave me also a few challenges to work on, we all see a few changes, we learned to work on the new Wealthy Affiliate platform and we are here today, Amazon gave us a few challenges also, and we got also the new AIOSEO plugin changes.

And I should not miss adding the changes Google gave us this year also, as we need to focus to write content to answer the questions our client is asking.

Thanks so much for reading my blog today!

Do you have your 2021 goals ready?

Don't quit, you can do it!

Alejandra.

Good Morning Alejandra,

I think that 2020 has taught us all to be flexible and have patience.

I am trying to read between the lines, and that actually is not even necessary anymore. It is there for everybody to see. Our world will not be the same anymore.
Here in Spain, as in Europe, they will make a list of people who do not want to be vaccinated. This will create 2 classes of citizens. The ones with certain freedom and the ones who are denied this freedom. I do not like the turn this is taking.

Wishing you and your husband a good start of 2021.

Greetings from the south of Spain,

Great article. The two main lessons that I learned that are on your list are "nothing is for sure.' Despite planning, saving, guessing about the future, things can change in a moment. I have always thought that I tried to understand others. I am finding I have to work harder at it. Thanks for the article.

Alejandra,

Great points. In spite of this being the most tumultuous, trying and confusing year in memory we hopefully have all learned some valuable lessons. I for one can't wait until 2020 is in my rearview mirror.
