Have Your Expectations Changed From Fast Profits to Effort = Rewards?

A lot of people who come to Wealthy Affiliate want to make money!

Considering we are encouraging people that we can help them be Wealthy, they are coming to the right place.

Unfortunately, the part of our brain that wants money, also wants it now! We have an emotional reaction to Wealth and to the things that we can buy with it.

Every day we are bombarded with advertising trying to create an emotional connection with us and the product they are trying to sell. This emotional connection makes us want to buy their product so we can experience the emotional satisfaction that we are being promised.

With so many strong desires for things that require money, it is no surprise that many of us really want to get more money and are in a rush to do it.

People who are able to make money and build wealth are then able to introduce logic into their thinking to keep things in perspective, make a plan on how to create the wealth they want without spending all their money on every product that appeals to them.

When I first came to Wealthy Affiliate, I came because of the promise of making money through effort, not through some magic scheme of getting rich overnight ( ie It didn't sound like a scam )

Having said that, I still had the expectation that I was going to start making a lot of money within the first couple of months. When this didn't happen, I got discouraged and focused on other things.

Now I have thought about things more and realized that while profits are not easy to attain, they are very achievable. The reason not everyone makes a profit from internet marketing is because it requires a lot of hard work and dedication.

I would love to hear how your attitudes have changed since coming to Wealthy Affiliate, surely I'm not the only long term (more than a month) member who came wanting to make some fast money and decided to stick around when it didn't happen as quickly as I wanted it to.
