Success Anxiety!
Hey all, before I start, I just want to say how glad I am that I ended up here at WA, and I want to thank, not only Kyle and Carson for building this great program, but Marcus WFHW as well, from whose website I was directed here.
Now, I don't know about any of you, but making a success out of my WA efforts is VERY, VERY important to me. Maybe I should add another VERY... that's better. It's so important to me that I feel a level of anxiety about it. Although I don't feel it, I'll be hitting the big five-oh in January, and despite my best efforts, I still haven't quite reached the level of Freedom! that I desire in my life.
I've worked hard at everything I've ever done, but it took me a good 45 years of my life for it to dawn on me that what I was doing, wasn't making me happy, in fact, it was killing me. Now that I'm on the right track, it's hard to ignore all the nay-sayers, and all the media propaganda that pushes the whole 'regular job' slavery paradigm. But there's hope!
After everything that I've tried, I honestly feel that the program here at WA is the one that can work for someone who's willing to work as hard now for their own dreams, as they've worked for other people's dreams in the past.
So if you;re like me, and you're desperate to make that massive change in your life, and you're feeling that anxiety, my advice is to have faith in the program that the boys have put together here. Don't jump ahead in your thinking, don't allow doubt to creep in and distract you, just work through the lessons, one by one, whether you're working on your niche, or you're doing the Affiliate Bootcamp, or both (like me!)
Focus on each lesson, because each step on your jouney is just as important as any other, some are harder, some are more fun, but you won't get to the end, to see your dreams come true, if you don't take EVRY step.
Feel free to let me know how you go.
To Freedom!
Michael

Hi MIchael,
Thank you for the follow. Sounds like you have plenty of desire. I want to give you an idea that works You know that the best time to review your goals is just before you drift off to sleep. You know that your subconscious is sitting there like a hound dog salivating over a steak bone waiting for something to work with overnight.
Write out in the first tense where you want be and when, in your business and personal life. In other words, "I have mastered the web and I am having a ball helping the newbies and my earnings are up into the solid six figures." Go big, no limits. One full page. Read before you so hit the rack and first thing in the morning. IT WORKS....Dick
Hey Dick, thanks for the great tip, I'll definitely try it, and I certainly won't be holding back in thinking big! Here's to you achieving and exceeding your goals. To Freedom! Michael.
NEver give up! Realizing our dreams only comes when we choose to do things and believe things that we have never before considered. You can do this,...and so can we all. Our greatest struggle is to learn before we earn. I am really getting more patience with myself...I always have to remember that the success I'm looking for willn't be immediate, rather it comes with our consistent effort.
Hey Evan, I wish I knew at your age, what I know now! For someone in their early 20's, you've already grasped the most important concept when it comes to success, the incremental nature of it. It also indicates to me a very mature attitude towards the idea of delayed gratification, it's something that most people struggle with today; "I want it now!" You definitely need to learn before you can earn, and that's been one of my sticking points in the past; I'm a pretty intuitive problem solver, so my brain's always jumping ahead of what I'm doing now, in order to prepare for the following steps, but I can't afford to do this here. The program that Kyle & Carson have developed is well thought out, and comprehensive, so I need to calm down and focus on the task at hand in order to succeed. I'm really excited to watch your progress, with the excellent attitudes and insights that you have. To your success, and to Freedom! Michael.
Thanks Michael! I appreciate your kind words, I struggle relating with my peer group because we think so differently. I want to go to law school, but I haven't because more than going to school I want to live debt free. I have big dreams that have always won we weird looks and earned me some nay sayers...yet at the same time I use this to push me forward. Maintaining the right attitude doesn't always come easy, it almost always is a daily effort.
I know what you mean Evan, my biggest struggle has always been with the nay-sayers wanting to whisper negativity in my ear. It does get to you because you're working to create something that doesn't yet exist, so there's nothing to keep you going except faith in your dream, then there's that person telling you how hard it is, and that hardly anyone has achieved what you're working towards. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! These are people who fear failure and disappointment so much, that they don't want to see anyone succeed, and so have to face that, if only they'd stuck their necks out and risked criticism and failure, they might have been able to do it too. The convince themselves to hide behind "can't be done" and 'impossible". You do it, and maybe it will lead one of them out of the darkness. To Freedom! Michael.
Anxiety is not only the unnecessary burden, having no constructive purpose whatsoever, but it also serves as negative force that pushes the desired things away from us. I know it`s not easy, but see if you can drop it. It`s just a thought.
I want to suggest you to maybe consider the business I`m into. I make money giving away free app. Would you like to get more info about it?
Hey Igor, thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you, there is no positive outcome with anxiety; you make your plan, and get going with it, knowing that you can adjust it as you go. Thanks for the offer, I think I know which app you're referring to, I'm totally committed, time-wise to WA right now, so the opportunity isn't there. I look forward to following your progress though. To Freedom! Michael.
Yes, there is a level of anxiety working through the lessons, answering emails and commenting on websites etc etc etc, but you can see progress/success since you started, I'm sure. We certainly can !!!
Absolutely guys, and that's my point; it's possible to get derailed by fears and anxieties, but we're onto a great program here, which will, with consistent effort, deliver the results we all want. Thank you so much for commenting and I look forward to following your progress as well. To Freedom! Michael.
I'm with you on this one, Michael! It's been a great journey for me here in WA as well.
Here's to continuing the awesome journey ahead!
Hey Raphy, thanks for the comment! It's great to see you're enjoying WA, it makes it even easier to follow the program and get the results you deserve and want. Here's to our Freedom! Michael.

Hello again, Michael. I hit the same age number next year in March, so, besides living in the same city and interested in a similar niche, we share the same year of birth. I remember first time going to naturopath around 6 years ago and she told me that after working as a lawyer for so many years, going through the divorce, she decided to change her career and her life path at the ripe age of 49, and I thought , wow, that's drastic.
But only now, I started to understand what I want and what are my passions and desires at the same age as she changed her career . I feel a positive envy for people who found their interests and successes earlier in life, but it didn't happen for me. I have a degree in music, but worked in a Fund Management for many years. If I turned back the clock, I would go straight to animal welfare or natural medicine. My interests changed dramatically throughout the years.
What I am trying to say It's never too late. Embrace the change and go with the flow. I am super excited to see the results and wish you a great success.
When some people are getting ready to retire, I am getting ready to start over and utilise my past experiences for a better results.
to your success.
PS had a look at your health website, huge changes, love the look and enjoy reading the content.
Hey Milla, it's great to chat again! There's even more we have in common, I first went to my naturopath 6 years ago too!
You know, sometimes I think about what you wrote in your comment, that we're looking to start on something new, at an age that other people are looking to wind down, but then again, I don't believe that I'm ever going to want to wind down.
I'd rather think of life as a stairway to the stars, that doesn't end until you get to the top, rather than a hill that you climb when you're young, and then roll down the other side when you get older, finally falling into a hole in the ground at the bottom.
If you're doing something that you love, and that fulfills you, then I believe that concepts of time-off, holidays and retirement lose their relevance. When I've taken holidays in the past, although I'm enjoying the holiday, I still miss my hobbies and past-times, the things I do for pleasure; so, imagine if you're on holiday, while still getting to enjoy your passions, and then getting paid, on top, for doing that, would you ever want a break from that?
Anyway, I'm rambling again! Thanks for looking at my health website, I'm glad you like the content, I've got heaps more information from my journey to post, so keep a look out.
Here's to your success, and to Freedom! Michael.
