Getting into the right entrepreneurial mindset

Lack of awareness of the surrounding circumstances

Not knowing what I was not knowing...

Not documenting, :)

I got the trust part but forgot the verify part. Trust but verify should became a watchword.

Not trusting your instincts which are normally right.

Not bringing your new website for review and constructive criticism specially at WA . .

Assuming it's all about the techniques, processes & tools and forgetting that people are the most important part of the equation

Not knowing your “Why are you building this business?” strong enough to make your “How to succeed with your business?” (Having Big Dreams more than the tangibles, Giving us the passion to Succeed)

Tidbitz: Here is an easy one, replying to a group email and accidentally leaving the customer on it when it was internal only.(hehe, have you ever experienced this one . . . on the course of creating your website or specially in the corporate world! )

I'm not even a rookie yet...I want to get into the trainings yet! Need someone to give me a chance!!! Lol . . .

. . . . . Let’s learn, read and listen from our WA members who have been in the system for a longer period of time. Sharing your experience could save a lot by not committing the same costly errors in our journey . . . . .

Your comments and inputs are appreciated . . . . . Thank you!

Note:

*Likes is appreciated but sharing even just a short line would be great! Lol!

Oh I have made quite and few and will no doubt make some more as I learn , even the mistakes are part of our learning

Yes indeed, we just have to follow some successful blueprint to make our journey smoother and less costly . . . .

I definitely made a few mistakes along the way, and I'm definitely still learning. Although my first site is about a passion of mine it is probably too specialist a niche to make huge amounts of money ... You learn as you go, though, and you constantly tinker to improve

Well said. . . . . . thx!

Watch as many training videos you can!!
Have a great day!!

Indeed, as the saying goes a picture speaks more than a thousand word. . . .
How much more for a video, :-)

I am still a frggin' rookie, lol. Trust me

What ever you need to know is at you door step and that means any one on this site, good luck

Indeed, it is only a matter of having patience and willingness to learn and invest your time to grow and succeed. . .

There are not only newbies making errors, even more experienced IM sometimes fail. Perhaps my post can help you to avoid some common errors:

Thanks!
"10 Internet Marketing Errors – Why So Many Fail?"

You're so right. We can avoid a lot of the mistakes if we just keep our eye on the prize and watch what we're doing along the way.

I can relate to many key points! I am hoping in the next 2 months my site will be done enough for others to look at it here at WA review it, let me know what they like, what I should work on etc.

We are looking forward to see your website for review!
For feedback on website, Post it at:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/please-give-me-feedback-on-my-website

I would love to visit your place (Alaska) someday - want to see the serene atmosphere, :)

Like your post. The problem is that most of us have to learn from our own mistakes and although we may read, and take on board the sound advice given it's incredibly easy not to follow it! :) Beverley

Hehehe. It's true - learning, reading and absorbing what we study is entirely different on the actual application. Just hoping that by reading some, we could at least reduce some of this mistakes cutting the cost of the journey, :)

Great checklist. We've only been in for a short time, but can relate to a lot of these already.

Thanks!
Speaking of checklist, it is always wise to have a notepad with you specially when you are at WA to take down on important notes on our subject. Do not trust our memories to remember everything we have read.
