Arrogance and Shiny Object Syndrome

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Am beginning anew at step one after wobbling all over the map trying my best to not get started. I believe I suffer from a fear of success that is stronger than my fear of failure.

I came to WA after years of wandering through the garbage that is the vast majority of "Internet\Affiliate Marketing Training" available online today. Having a "been there done that" attitude is hazardous, I've tended to skip things my mind deemed unnecessary.

That said; I've purchased a new domain and will shove my past experience aside to follow the WA way beginning at Level One Step One. No more I know better BS because, if I did know better I would not be here.

Once I succeed, and I believe I will, with this new domain then I may return and pick up some of the pieces of past disasters. Nose to the grindstone, here I go!
