Work Hard Or Being Lucky? When you work to build up your own website, which one will take you to be the next success story everyone wishes they could be?

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are doing good and safe.

Today my blog is about the myth behind every success story, no matter if it's about a successful business person, a chef, an artist or an affiliate marketer.

Many people will look at the moment when someone is getting good results at something and they will think... how lucky is that person!

Today's story just happened to me a couple of days ago, as Mother's Day in Canada was last Sunday, I shared a collection of flowers I grew at home during the last years.

It was a collection of 6 or 8 pictures of some beautiful flowers that I was "lucky" to achieve.

As I'm getting also a fan of capturing good moments in life, I took those pictures. So I shared them on my personal account on YouTube to send a Mother's Day to all moms who follow me.

A good friend told me this - Wow, you're really lucky to have a green thumb, those flowers are beautiful!

-

This phrase took me right away to another phrase I read on the internet a few weeks ago.

Many people will think a person is a lucky one, when they see this person on the top, but just a few will think about how hard this person have worked to achieve his/her goals.

-

The same happened with my gardening adventures.

A few years ago, I started doing some gardening, at the beginning, I bought some plants just because they were pretty, I never thought about if they will be growing good or not in my back yard.

Some of these plants didn't end as a happy story, but I didn't quit there

I started looking for some information about how to grow plants and flowers.

I started to look to my neighbours yards to see what they were growing here and I dared to ask them how to grow those plants.

I even got lucky to get some plants from them.

I kept growing different plants and I started to take some notes about weather, watering, and even about growing plants and flowers during different seasons here.

-

Today, I have some knowledge about what plants are easy to grow here and what plants will never grow here.

I love to share some tips to other people, young and old who ask about my plants.

-

But the most important for me is that I really enjoy my time taking care of my plants and trying new things.

To be honest with you, I feel proud of myself when people say how pretty my flowers or plants are.

It Takes Time, Money, and Lots Of Work To Become Successful On Something

The same happens with building a website.

At the beginning, any beginner might fail with its first, second and mabey a few more websites.

(I have a good list of plants that didn't live enough in my hands, and a couple of failed websites)

I signed up to Wealthy Affiliate to learn the right way to create a successful website.

(I've spent many hours watching videos and reading articles about how to grow a plant or a flower)

Today, I'm getting some good results from my website, and my website is making money for me.

(Today, I love to go for a walk around my yard, and see how many plants have pretty flowers)

I can feel proud of myself of my achievements from working on my own website and growing pretty flowers at home.

-

The same will happen to you!

At the beginning you might not get the results as good and as fast as you wish you would. but don't quit, and keep at it.

In a few weeks, months or even years, you will see how far you can get.

Building Up A Successful Website Is About How Hard You Have Worked On it.

The next time one of my friends tells me how lucky I am to have a green thumb, I will smile and I will think, yes all that work I've done, it's paying off.

Keep at it, it will get better and better!

Thanks so much for reading my blog, give it a like and leave a comment.

Yes, you are so right. Just like a garden, we have to spend some time tending our plants and giving them what they need. I believe that success can be a combination of working hard and being lucky. Hard work can create situations where luck can play an important role. Let's have both!

Alejandra with your vision and work ethic success will continue to follow. Well done.

Thank you!

My pleasure Alejandra

I too think we make our own 'luck' with hard work Alejandra.
I agree, many see the successful end result and consider them an 'overnight' success because they hadn't heard of them before.

I agree with you Linda, we know how hard we need to work to achieve our goals, but as we keep at it, we know well we will get there!

Lovely post, and as they say, you have to work hard at luck. Turning up is half the luck! A great read, Phil

Thank you Phil!
