You Know Way More Than You Give Yourself Credit For

A fairly interesting week as it unfolded, but then again when was one week like another since coming to the world of online marketing, one can just have way too much fun for sameness to even get a toehold into your day to day activities.

Am I singing with or to the choir?

Picked up a new client this past week and I was reminded of two things with regards the world of online marketing.

Well three things, starting with number three, there are just so many aspects to this industry and just way too many ways to actually generate some income online.

Probably the hardest thing is to remain focused while learning the ropes and to then remain with that focus while you implement what you are learning and most probably the most important thing is to stick with your current train of thought while you embed it so that it remains firmly on your horizon and all tucked up in your old kit bag.


Working new clients through the on boarding process can be challenging, especially when the project has already started ( note to self there) and there is that scenario where there are just one too many cooks in the kitchen.

Ideas are good too many ideas are just totally unproductive, just like too many ingredients don't go to creating that signature dish that will do all you're talking for you.

The number two thing, it may be just me, but when it comes to online anything when folks talk about it everyone seems to have an opinion and can be an expert, or they know someone who is, usually an extended family member, and what they don't know they tend to make up.

Which raises expectations and devalues the work that actually goes into creating the desired outcomes.

It is kind of bizarre,

The number one thing, that I was reminded of this week even given our really highly connected existence is that folks don't know that much at all when it comes to the online marketing world, and considering everything.

That is bizarre.

The majority of folks can find their way around and accomplish what it is that they need from the internet, but beyond that, it is a kind of no go or don't want to go there kind of thing.

So being an early adopter can open a new world of possibilities.

You can kind of start understanding why there are so many scams and folks up to no good online.

And to take a line from the "official scammer's manual ", creating that too good to be true deal......

Can be compared to taking "wheat off, of blind chooks ".

So the closeout is that the majority of folks just don't know stuff.

Which on the flip side of the coin bodes well for folks intent on creating legitimate ways for people to benefit from online opportunities.

So the next time you catch yourself questioning, your self about your knowledge, understanding or abilities, stop yourself in your tracks turn around and start heading in the opposite direction, back to heading in the direction that you were tracking.

Back yourself at every opportunity. Not in that " hey look at me, look at me, now look at me" kind of style, but more in that reserved self-assurance of a marketer going about their business in a well-defined course and manner.

Because you know way more than you give yourself credit for, and if you look back to and observe folks standing in the WA foyer, just like you did once, you know that is exactly that, even if you have just landed and are making your way up the lift, a month in WA and your life will be different?

True.

Your triumph card is that you are here in Wealthy Affiliate building your online presence from the ground up, solid foundation equals solid building.


So keep growing, and developing and building that presence.

Rest assured that if you stay the course, you are creating
expert, there will come a time when you don't have to talk too much, it will be your creativeness that will do the talking for you.

thnx for sharing there Alex...

Hi, Gus thank you for stopping by much appreciated just some reflections, I may be off course, but then again.

Hey Alex,
Thanks for all the helpful information!! We all need to remain focused to get anywhere which is so true.

Tried and True

Elaine

Hi Eliane, thank you for stopping by, how is the shifting going, all good.

Some folks get concerned that they don't know enough and because of that have trouble engaging or joining in for fear of saying or doing something wrong. We all of us had to start somewhere and the fact is that even after a little time on the platform we will know more and have a greater understanding than most folks.

Alex, well said. I truly enjoy reading your comments. Lot of meat on the
bone, a southern term. Have a great day!
William

Hi William, haven't heard that saying for a while I get what you mean, thank you for stopping by and for your comment much appreciated.
For many folks, they are challenged by there so perceived lack of knowledge or skills, in just about every case they need not be, because they know way more than they realize.
Have a great day to William, how is your journey going.

Beautifully written post, Alex.
You are so right. We already know so much more than when we started. There is a vast amount of information to learn in this business and staying the course will get us to the point of success. Everything we need is right here at WA.
Members such as yourself are great motivators and so knowledgeable. We learn from you.
Have a fantastic weekend,
Colette and Philip

Hi Colette and Philip, thank you for your kind words, so true everything we need is right here in Wealthy Affiliate, it is just a case of using the knowledge and resources to get the most out of what we are doing.
It can be good to stop every now and then and do a stock take on where we are. Looking back and remembering where we have come from can be really empowering in the overall scheme of things.

Thanks for the wonderful post, I can see myself here quite a bit, I should have more self confidence than I do. I worry about steering someone wrong with my directions.
Mary

Hi Mary, thank you for your kind words, the great thing about WA is that we have the opportunity to create and participate in conversations, I see a lot of times folks are hesitant in joining in for fear of as you say starring someone in the wrong direction, the best thing is to just join the conversation, it all helps and in the process we can also learn as we go.
The more we immerse the more our confidence grows best wishes.

Hi Alex,
The take home here is Self-confidence, focus, and determination.
Thanks for this wonderful post.
All the best

Hi Regina, in the beginning, we can spend time looking sideways and over our shoulders, at some point, we can claim it and at that moment back our selves and at that moment there is not a lot that can stop us.
Like anything, it is a matter of building it a step at a time, and I guess like you say self-confidence focus and determination can be the cornerstones of our building process.
Thank you for stopping by much appreciated Regina
