Don't sweat the small stuff

IT'S ALL SMALL STUFF.

When we first start at WA we tend to agonize over every little detail. I did. Is this niche good? Should my domain line up with my site name? Amazon has turned me down. Lions and tigers and bears oh my.

We think, I AM SO UPSET! I'M BLOWING IT! I AM LOST! No, you are not. You're learning. That's why you came here. Calm down. You are suppose to be unsure.

IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER MUCH.

Even if we don't know it when we start, with dollars signs and Mercedes on our minds, what we learn here are the fundamentals.

The vast majority of us are not going to put up our first website and get thousands of visitors a day or be the next Neil Patel.

He's kind of a big deal online. Ask him, he will be glad to tell you. Unless that's your goal. You could be. But maybe complete the lessons first.

DO YOU WANT A SKYSCRAPER OF A BUSINESS?

If you goal is to build your business high into the sky you better start with a strong foundation. Build a foundation to build skyward. That's what you are getting here.

Anyone that has been here any length of time may confirm this. Ask an old timer, "do you still use your first site ever?" You probably won't either.

When we first start, what we are doing is a dress rehearsal for the big show. It's called learning, testing, getting better and growing. So why worry about it.

WHAT WA REALLY TEACHES.

Here's one of the real values at WA. If you look hard enough and stop sweating the details the big picture starts to become clear.

It takes a little time, but you'll see it. All you have to do is stick around long enough. Keep interacting, reading and growing. You'll see the possibilities.

I have recently discovered that I do not even really like content marketing. I am tired of blogging all the time, even though I like to write.

Thanks to all I have learned here and all the people I have learned from I know I do not have to blog to earn money if I don't want to. My dues are up to date and I don't mean money.

I have a million ideas in my head that I am planning out as I write this. They all started at lesson 1. You will too as you progress. This is just the beginning of a journey. Your call where it ends.

WAYS TO EARN ONLINE ARE COUNTLESS.

Right from the jump, lesson 1 or 2, we are told there are many ways to make money online. Each and every one of them require the training that WA offers. The foundation.

That's what we are building here. We, the people, are the key. You are one of them.

The successful people don't have to help us they want to help with our foundation and beyond. Have you ever tried to contact a successful internet marketer? Save the time. They won't reply.

Stop worrying about everything. Stop it. It doesn't matter. Keep following the lessons and learn all that you can. Have some fun. You'll get there.

Be active in the community and keep learning. You'll find your niche and I don't mean for a website. The possibilities are endless.

You will find your path look back and smile. Maybe even remember this piece and say, "you know, Barry was right." he's not a moron.

EVENTUALLY YOU WILL SEE THE BIG PICTURE.

The big picture is if you keep going you can take what you learn here anywhere online. Use what you learn at WA and go where you want to.

Follow the lessons step by step, take your time and commit to the long haul. How long doesn't matter.

And when you are ready, and you'll know when that is, take what WA have given you and blaze your own trail.

You may even be the guy or girl that other gurus online talk about and say, WOW! why didn't we think of that. It's new, it's fresh, it's innovative. Smart.

PAY YOUR DUES AND I DON'T MEAN MONEY.

I been peaking at websites at some very successful people here at WA and elsewhere to see what they are up to. To determine my next move.

No, I am not sneaking around. I let them know what I am up to. So far everyone of them has told me, "let me know if I can help. I would be happy to. Everyone one of them.

THE REAL MONEY AT WA.

And that my friends is the true value of WA. Part of it is the lessons. the bigger part is the wonderful people you connect with here. Always trying to pull you up to where they are.

Enjoy yourself, stop sweating the little stuff, find what you love to do and it. The money is just a by product. All you have to do is keep going.

Love this! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Thank you Tara. Here if you need help.

Barry

Good point. Keep things in perspective.

The big picture is what we are learning. So why sweat each and every small thing. Thanks for stopping by.

Good share. Ironic timing. I was thinking about this earlier, with life in general. It's easy when you hit one stumbling block to feel like the whole program is crumbling down, when in reality it's a tiny, tiny piece of the whole puzzle. Perspective is key.

Thanks for reading it.

You're absolutely on point Charlie it's not what happens with us that matters it's how we perceive it.

Thank you for sharing it.

Great post Barry - I agree, success is about so much more than money :)

Thank you Jude.

i like your post well put together Barry,I always say listen to those that are successful Because the are doing something right.
Thanks,
Gerard.

I have a post on my website about "swipe files" everybody is swiping from everybody and everybody knows it and it is an acceptable practice.

Stealing from others is a different matter. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you Gerard I appreciate it. I am successful but I do not make consistent money at WA yet.

I do make some money and I expect to make more. When, I do not know or does it matter.

It's not that money is not important to me because we all need it to live. I have just been fortunate in my life and at this point I do OK.

I have at times been flat broke with bills due too. That's not a fun place to be for anybody. I'm rambling!

Good luck Gerald.

Just started WA thanks Barry for the encouraging words.

The guys that started this know what they are doing. Follow the lessons and enjoy the journey.

I spent many years as a personal trainer. Now I just train me.

Thanks for reading it. I hope it helps.
