The road to success isn't straight ...

One of the subjects that often comes up in the Live Chat is writing articles for Street Articles (SA). Some people find it quite easy, but equally there are a number of people who find it really challenging and find it difficult to find things to write about. I'm very fortunate - I sit in the easy camp and never run out of things to say.

As a Confidence Coach with a large Coaching site as my main niche I have no problem in finding topics to interest my readers. I schedule topics for 3 months at a time and as well as writing a minimum of 20 articles and blogs a week, I also write an additional 4 or 5 articles that are inspired by the news of the day or articles or books I'm reading and conversations that I hear. An hour in a hospital waiting room is always great. - it only has to be one tiny thing I hear to spark an idea in my head

WA is also fertile ground for me. I get so many ideas from in here. Please don't think I write about all of you and use people's names because I don't. but people write blogs, or hold conversations that leave me thinking about related topics. This is what happened with this post.

Last week, One member of WA wrote a couple of sentences on their blog space with a link - suggesting there was something controversial that people might like to read. I had some moments to spare so I did. The link led to a blog where there was a lively debate about something Kyle was reported to have said regarding PLR (Private Label Right) articles and many of the people who had commented were outraged at what he said. Not knowing what Kyle had originally written, this wasn't of interest to me. But what sparked my interest was something not directly related to the topic that was being discussed and that was people's views of success.

Some of the people who had commented on the blog were complaining that they had tried WA and thought it was a con because they hadn't achieved the success they had expected. Well there's nothing new in that!. It's a comment you hear from WA members and it's a comment oft repeated by people in other contexts.

Even though most of us would acknowledge( if asked) that success won't just fall in our laps - that is so easily forgotten. Lots of people look for someone to blame when they don't get the success they believe they deserve. The fact is success is not something that is guaranteed and success is something that actually comes from our own efforts and learning from our failures.

So whether you have just joined WA or you are a longer standing member who is disappointed where you are right now. Don't look outwards - look inwards and take responsibility for the part that you play in your own success. If you're struggling to understand something have you asked for help? If you're struggling to make money from your website - have you asked someone to review it? Have you set yourself any goals and if you have are you following them? There are lots of questions you should ask yourself first if you're not getting the success you want.

The fact is the road to success is not a straight one and there will be many distractions, failures and frustrations on the way. The amount of success you gain in WA or elsewhere will be dependent on your ability to weather the bad times as well as maximise the good ones.

Good luck

Wow, that was wonderful and great pic too!

Thanks Lisa. Glad you enjoyed it.

***** Five stars earned for this blog, thanks for sharing and caring.

Thank you.. Glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic blog Beverley!
Great infographic as well. Thank you for the inspiration. I haven't even thought of using everyday experiences as fodder for article content yet, as I am still working on my "30 days". Thank you for the idea.
P.S. Happy belated birthday! Many happy healthy years to you!

Thanks Amy

I really do pick up loads from every day experiences. I actually generate about 20 new topics every day - so I have huge back log that I can use.

Thanks also for the birthday greetings.

I pinned your infograph is that OK? It really shares a great message.

No problem at all.

Love your infograph. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Thank you - Glad you like it

So well said Beverly. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Shawn. Glad you enjoyed it.

What Beverley, it's your birthday? You need to celebrate every chance you get. Don't miss even the smallest reason for celebration. Birthdays are big reasons. We'll have a virtual party for you right here on WA. I know you are across the pond, and wonder if you are having meteor showers like us. Our showers start tonight. Great way to kick off or finish up a birthday.

I love this blog. You are so right. IM is an entirely new way of thinking for many people and they get frustrated. I've fallen into that camp myself. I like a good fight, however. Must say I think WA is a Godsend.


Thanks Jean. I'm glad you liked the blog.

It's my 50th but I'm not hot on celebrating.Rather glad tomorrow I can forget about it. Onegood thing that has come out of it is that my oldest friend reached that milestone a year ago and when we were having a little moan this week about feeling washed up and useless - I had a brainwave for a new site for 'late bloomers' which we are going to run together. So that will be fun! We will make a success of it and that will be something to celebrate.

Your so very right, some days it feels like it would be easier to just give it all up.Your constant support keeps me motivated. Enjoy your birthday.

Thanks Linda. Glad I can help
