I have now been part of the WA community since 1st September and boy, has it been a roller coaster!
I have been diligently working through the lessons as time allows and enjoying the experience and the wealth of knowledge available. The community here and the tangible 'pay it forward' attitude is something I believe is unique to WA and is something that should be celebrated and cherished.

But, and you knew there was going to be a 'but' right? I am really struggling to get into the whole writing thing. I understand the lessons are constructed to develop our abilities step by step and I understand the concept of what we are expected to achieve here but I am finding the writing my biggest obstacle and feel pretty deflated by it all. Let me just confirm though, I am in this for the long haul and fully intend to see this through but I wondered if others have faced the same struggles and doubts I am dealing with right now? The Roller Coaster

I find myself going from excitement and happiness as I watch the video lesson to apprehension and sadness when I see that I am expected to write another post to complete the lesson and move to the next. And it's not that I can't write. Quite frankly, if I get into my stride I could talk the ears off an African elephant! It's just that I am not enjoying the process at all. I am entirely focused on getting the training done and learning as much as possible and the posts are definitely what is holding me back but is this normal because it's incredibly frustrating?
So I took some advice and started reading posts and blogs on other sites in my niche to see if that would inspire me. Sadly, it did exactly the opposite as I realised how little I know about what I chose as my niche and how so many sites out there have much better content than I am producing.
And the molehill
Am I missing something? Am I overthinking it? Have I chosen the wrong niche? How did you guys overcome this and build successful businesses?
