I have found myself in a quandary. When I walk by my computer, I quickly have an excuse in my mind to keep walking by. It wasn't like that when I came back to WA in late March with enthusiasm on getting my internet business off the ground.

What has happened?

I could think long and hard about finding an excuses. It's not going to get me anywhere by taking more time thinking about what happened. I have to admit it to myself and move on to get back into being productive and get positive results. I am complacent and made excuses to keep me in that negative frame of mind.

The list of tasks that I committed to with my internet business gets increasingly longer. I have not been focused while writing content. Disciplined responses to comments have gone the wayside. The thought of "Oh, I will catch up on that task the next time I get around it" has made its way on many of my to-do and reminder lists.

My social media schedule campaign has not given me the results I wanted to achieve. I feel like my shortcomings have increased, affecting the way that I look at my business. Second guessing myself, wondering if I missed something during my training. Did I skip a step, misinterpreted a training video, forgot to perform a task?

The excuses stop now. The time to act is now. What do I have to do to get back on track?

It's time to REGROUP.

There were goals I wrote at the time I signed up with WA, during the initial certification courses. I have gone back, today, and read them over again, quite a few times. This action reminded me of my mindset that got me off onto a running start. It created a spark- a burst of energy. By reviewing my goals, it allowed me to reset my thought processes I had when I initially wrote them down. A reboot, if you will.

I realized that by writing down my goals, if can refer to it if I lost my way. Or when I feel discouraged, or if I lose hope due to increased mistakes or bad decision making. My goals have set me straight. Now, what should I do next?

It's time to REFOCUS.

The training resources here within our WA community are an excellent way of getting an internet business started. It has been proven by many successful entrepreneurs, especially me when I created my websites.

I will go back to square one. As I go through the certification courses once again, emphasizing on parts of the training that I need refreshing, it will allow me to make sure that no stone is left unturned. This will reinforce the knowledge I received during my original training.

I will reach out to the hard working WA community members and ask for help and guidance. Review the websites and gather tips and techniques not only to see what has worked for some people, but also integrate proven methods into my website framework and foundation.

Why I decided to write this blog

The reason why I decided to discuss my dilemma and problems to my fellow WA members was to let others know, who are also in the same situation I am, that they are not alone. I could have let my ego get the best of me, keep these issues covered and go along my way as if everything was "just fine".

I won't fool myself by not admitting it. I need help- so the way that I helped other members with their questions and problems, I will rely on the same supportive WA community to help me get back on track.

The only way to solve problems are to face it, admit it then overcome the issues. And with our helpful WA community, I will overcome this episode.

Please share with me your thoughts, ideas and comments below. I welcome all input and I thank you, my supportive WA 'Ohana (family) for your help and guidance while I get myself back on track.
