yes! great words of wisdom.

David that is great that you're already generating traffic! Means you must be doing something right. Keep me updated on how your progress goes and pass along any tips you have for getting over the blocked hump!!!

Thanks so much! I am not too sure how this traffic I am getting will relate to overall down the road traffic. I hope it is good! RIght now I am working on Pinterest. This is a good temporary diversion and something I need to do for my web site. Hopefully it will increase more traffic!

Thanks Tae! Its good to hear I'm not alone when it comes to lose of steam in the beginning. How is your site coming along?

I'm doing ok. I mean, assessing how we are doing is all about perspective. There are so many perspectives like emotions, progress, website development, networking, financial gain, etc. No one lives by the simple facts alone. We all live by the interpretation of those facts. And so, it's an ongoing challenge to have the right interpretation of what is going on. There are many days I share your emotions. But I try to treat it as work where I simply go to work whether I feel like it or not. I try not to get too high or too low or too excited about a small success or too discouraged by some big mistake. To be honest, I am a very emotional person. But I have to let my mind over-ride my heart. I post monthly updates about my progress to encourage others and to keep me accountable and count my blessings. Yesterday was exactly two months at WA and so I posted this: My TWO Months Update

Yes, I did make some progress. But it was a roller coaster of emotions and many moments of discouragement. But our faith in what we do must transcend our emotions and push us along. It is not easy. I mean, we committed to do this because it was the right thing to do...not because it was quick way to make a dollar. Let's just do it and I believe we will feel better about it later when the success comes. You're definitely not alone. Many in this WA community sympathize with you....including me. Many of us are in the same boat together. Blessings to you.

Thanks David its slowly coming back. I actually took the time this week to discuss my goals and brainstorm several ideas with some of my closest friends and career mentors. I think I'm shifting the whole thing towards my life in general. Really focusing on the millennial generation and some of the burdens that come along with that generation.

I really have a deep seeded need to "spread" my knowledge of how to become accomplished after college, starting a great career, paying off student loans, living a simplistic lifestyle and being self sufficient-all of that fun stuff. That is really the thing that comes most natural to me in terms of just talking about it so I think that is the direction I need to be headed at first.

I forgot I had written in this threat for some days while I'm working with my own motivation for other things. I'm glad you are recovering some motivation.

That sounds interesting, especially simplistic lifestyle.

I recognize this so well both for my website and for my other projects.

"I found myself over thinking this whole thing and creating so much pressure for myself that I often avoid working on my site all together!"

Planned tasks can become so big and so many so I don't know where to start or where to focus. I always do something, but usually not the things that would actually be best to start making money or achieving the legal resident status i need or so on.

Can i see your website even if it is not at the status level you want it in the end?

Maybe there is some way our sites/projects can help eachother through links or cooperation of some kind.
