Hi Beth...hang in there. It's a steep learning curve. I've been here several years but taken long breaks in between and still haven't finished all the basics. Some days feel like it'll never happen, but then I read others' comments about persistence gets the worm and I keep my dreams alive. Hopefully you will too!

Best,
Susan

We all had those moments when everything looked complicated, not knowing how to make "arrows out of the wood", like said before, take small steps , and if you are stuck, ask this community for help. There is also a fat chance that they have asked your question before. You can use the magnifying glass in top menu to find possible answers to your issue.
Last but not least, I wish you all the best in reaching your goals, Beth :-)

Try not to be so hard on yourself. Remember to breathe...grin.

It is a simple process...some of us get it and some of us feel we need to complicate it, as though that is the only way we will understand...

Follow the lessons, and you will see progress where there was none before.

Need a break? Go play solitaire, video games, watch a movie, take a nap, take a walk, go eat some ice cream...wait, you don't have ice cream?
Store trip!
See, get out of your way and do something different.
Then return and see what you can accomplish...

Works for me!

Hey Beth,

Frustration is simply negative energy. I was right where you are once upon a time.

You're experiencing what I refer to as. learning pain. This is normal when you're trying to grasp something new.

After all you did say that you do not have much technical skills. And, that's ok too.

Guess what, we will all guide you along until you get that menu bar in the right location. Or, whatever you need.

Also, you are not a moron because you're smart enough to have the sense to join this brilliant platform.

My dear Beth, walking away from a task for a wee bit is " just taking a break".

Throwing in the towel is quitting.

Would you want to become a quitter today?

No. Why?

You're a winner because you came to community for help and you're getting help, right?


This is not a race. Follow the training with Kyle at you pace.

Zone out all the sounds around that buzz on the platform.

Focus on learning. There should be no pressure from others or anything. In other words avoid distractions!

Now tell me specifically how I can you. I don't mind walking you through this task.

Relax my friend.

Hey Beth, we all get stuck and have problems from time to time, this is perfectly normal!

From checking your profile, I'm not sure that you have completed level 1 of the training provided here yet.

If this is the case, may I suggest continuing with your training step by step, at a pace that suits you and things should become much clearer to understand and implement.

Or if you are really stuck, reach out and ask the community. There will always be someone with the knowledge you seek willing to help.

Have a wonderful weekend!
