Disappointed

I was felling disappointed and discouraged in my progress with WA.

My friend Dan suggested I look - backward - to the past - and appreciate how far I've come.

Dan calls this the reverse gap.

Dan explains it this way:

The moment I start felling disappointed or discouraged or I start feeling really tense, I immediately say, "Okay, what are you measuring against?" and sure enough, I'm measuring against the ideal. And the moment I say, "Okay, turn around, where did you come from?" And the moment I turn around and measure backwards (from) my starting point for this particular activity - bang, I feel great.... I've learned a lot. I go from the negative zone of being in the gap to the positive zone of measuring my actual progress.

MY ACTURAL PROGRESS

  • I have my very own niche website
  • I have optimized my website for SEO
  • I have created content
  • I have created 17 post on my website and 16 are ranked in Google

I created a foundation for a long term business

HAPPY

No Longer disappointed

Hi Andy,

Seems like you have a great friend in Dan.

Where is it you would like to be.

Are these things you have done

I have my very own niche website
I have optimized my website for SEO
I have created content
I have created 17 post on my website and 16 are ranked in Google
I created a foundation for a long term business

If so I do not understand your disappointment.

Best wishes,

Michael

It is always good to look at how far you have come rather than where you would like to be.
