The Path To Finishing

Have you ever find yourself been easily distracted sometimes temporarily or in other ocassion long duration of time from various things you are doing, whether is reading a book, doing a Google search on a particular topic, or going through WA's training, or even learning online business?

If you are, just want to let you know that you are not alone, and I believed that 1000s if not millions of people, including myself are experiencing similar thing.

Let me tell you a little bit of my story:

I started noticing that I have this problem after migrating to the United State. Please feel free to call it whatever you like; an addiction, urge, a unneccessary distraction, etc.

I notice that I will start reading a book and before I know it, one reference in the book will lead me to another textbook, next to another, and continuously before I know it, I'm completely reading on another book, another topic.

Sometimes, I will be on the computer researching on even unrelated topic. There are so many instances during my military and medical school were I had I ended up buying countless number of books and study materials just by people's recommendations that I didn't even either finish reading, or start.

Why should You be Worry?

At first, I didn't see it as a problem that need to be address, rather I thought is due to my curiosity attribute and passion for knowledge, and beside every intelligent person must be behaving like me.

Until recently, to be precise, 2018 when I started showing interest in doing business online. I started with learning how to trade stock. I started with Google search engine reading about trade on Investopedia, which I got bombarded with so many information (OverLoad), bought so many books on trading stock; day trade, long term trade, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, etc.

The I moved to other type of online busness. To name a few, affiliate, dropshipping, etc.

The interesting part of it is that I didn't read most of them, the few ones I read was imcomplete, and to crown it all, I never even start any actual trade.

The only kind of trade which I don't really think it is is losing couple of 1000s through Fidelity brokerage account from buying penny stocks without any research.

During the crisis before and while training with WA, I have been scammed by some so called expert claiming to have the secret to making money online. Sometimes, I want to say it wasn't my fault been that everyone seems to say they are the good guys, the information looks authentic, at least to me a novice.

Trying to Do So Many Things Same Time

Just to give you a guide: During this crisis, I bought a Real Estate 6 session courses with blueprint, then I stop half-way looking for something that will fetch me money in a short period.

Then I started WA and another called Messenger as a result of recommendation from the people who said they wanted to help me, but in reality they want my money (even when I'm down).

Part of what inspired me to write about "Integrity" in the weight loss, affiliate marketing, etc.

How Did I Solve my problem?

Just like Kyle mentioned during the training on how to succeeding during the Pandemic about setting daily goals and stay focus, I started implementing it and doing everything I can to block every distraction.

Setting a goal on a paper and follow it is not my strong arm, but I'm very good at planning in my head. At least I used to be but it seems age is catching. LOL!

Another thing I did was to write all my online business book in a sheet of paper, arranged all the books in order of my plan to read with a check box. Making this change alone has tremedously helped me.

I also try to compartmentalize my life like do my personal stuffs in the morning and later business stuff later in the day.

Lastly, I'm still struggling in sticking to my goal and finishing the race, and I want to encourage the millions out there to continue to fight and stay focus ignoring the distractions. I prayed someday, we will overcome this struggle.

This change has also made me finish my second training. AMAZING!!!

Thabks and I hope you enjoy the psot

Please comment on this post and let me know if there are other tips or ways to stay the path until the finish line.

Have a blessed day.
