I'm Not Going To Quit
As a new WA member, I was so extremely excited about my future as an affiliate marketer, I could hardly sleep! I went into the lessons on fire with enthusiasm. One month later, life's gotten in my way. Kids' school events, household chores, errands that couldn't be put off, fatigue, stress, commitments, responsibilities, you know all the usual suspects.
Now, my initial enthusiasm has been diluted and is less palatable. I'm realizing how much I have to learn and how little time I have to do it! This could take a lot longer than I anticipated back in my glory days- just a few weeks back. I look at people's questions and think to myself, "oh boy, I don't even know what that is, or that, or that either...." There's still so much to do and learn!
Luckily, I'm not so easily knocked down. I am not going to lose focus even if it means I have to readjust my timeline. I will embrace my doubts and frustrations and limitations, as natural side-effects of progress, and keep pushing through to success.
I know I can do this because all the folks at WA are on my side. I've made some new friends, I'm learning every day and little by little it will add up to something great. And, I want you to know, I am on your side too!!

Just take it one step at a time. You CAN do it. Success is waiting for you when you step outside your comfort zone. ~Marion
Hi, Andziabel. I hear ya. It's been somewhat of a roller-coaster for me. My kids drug me kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.
I had no clue what people that develop web sites and conduct business on the internet do.
I've made some progress, but I still have a long way to go. Thanks to the WA 'Angels,' I manage to get through those troubling moments.
It is truly an 'occupation' in every sense of the word. It grabs you and won't let go. There is always something more to be done, and new horizons to explore. It's really a 'cyber adventure.' There is something new to learn every time I log on. That is never boring and really kind of exciting to me.
This is just a small segment of the big 'Journey,' and it's challenging.
In this community, we are never alone. The 'Angels' can direct you to solutions in the 'blink of an eye.' Even at 2 a.m. when I just have to have one more question answered.
You will have fun. It gets better and better.
I pray you have Joy, Confidence, and Good Fortune on your journey.
I look forward to 'seeing' you on the trail. ;-) Johann.
It is an adventure! And there are angels here. I like how you phrased it- "cyber adventure". Thanks for commenting! I wish you all of the same
Thanks for the blogpost Andziabel...as newbies in this new world of "Online Marketing", we ALL get trapped in the beginning by "Information-overload"; it's contagious! I too fell into that trap and just NOW, finally, have become much more focused and getting a sense of what I should focus on with the right guidance and support.
Focusing on the "ONE", Determination, Stamina, Prioritizing, Following a system with proven results along with Accountability, Moral support, Being apart of Masterminds and having Mentors, Remaining Humble, are just a few of the necessary ingredients that make us into "Entrepreneurs"!
Much Success 2u
I was writing the very same blog as this myself when I first started here, I became really overwhelmed with information overload. Then I decided to slow down at a comfortable pace and now I'm doing ok.
We all want it to happen tomorrow, but the reality is, most successful business people the world over didn't achieve their success overnight. The good news is, when building a business like this, once it does start to begin to bring in cash you simply repeat the process on another site (Think multiple Income Streams)
You're creating a future not a quick buck and when you come out at the other end, the hard work will have been worth it. Glad to hear you're not quitting :)
You can do it!
I started here without knowing anything about blogging and affiliate marketing.
I had zero writing skills (I didn't finish high school), my only computer knowledge was because of Facebook, but I still managed to build a nice website that is starting to show up on Google more often.
So, yeah..
If I can do it, you can do too! :D
Totally can understand and relate. I believe with everyone's help and doing little bits as you can, you will in fact be successful. It will build - maybe slower than anticipated but it will progress. There will be many swings like this - highs and lows - persevere - you will be rewarded
This happens to the best of us honestly. I've even had to take days off in regret that I might be missing something. You can't think like that though you know. If you're doing everything you can then that motivation is still there...don't lose sight of how you felt from that first day and you will prosper.
Blessings to you, and if you don't understand please ask.

Thanks ProjectFrame! It's a whole package- one has to take in the let-downs along with the up-swings!!

Oh my it is as though you have read my mind!!! I am feeling very much the same way. Confronted and overloaded. Disappointed that my ranking is not moving and my training is not moving either!!! (happy to socialize with everyone though!!!) Thank you so much for sharing, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my struggles!!!! Toughing it out will be so worth it though.
Thanks so much! You are not alone. Big hug!
and a big hug back to you too xo
