Feeling Overwhelmed

Getting Frustrated

I am getting really aggravated with trying to build my site. I can't even decide on a theme and even if I could I just can't grasp how to build the site. Nothing is sinking into my numb little brain right now.

I am getting articles written and that is something, but none of that matters if I can't piece my site together. I can imagine what I want the site to look like, but just can't make it happen.

I feel like I am missing some very key training, but I have gone back through all the traing that I have checked off as complete and I have in fact done those things.

It all boils down to developing my site in wordpress and I just can't seem to get it figured out. With just this one thing standing in my way it is becoming more and more..AAHHHHHHHH!!!!

That is all. I feel better.

**No I don't **

You are not alone.

I tend to overthink my theme too.
Here's what I did: I dedicated one eveining to finding one I liked.
Criteria: mobile responsive, white background with black text, WIDGET PLACEMENT.

The widget placement in the themes can be different. They really impact the look of your site. Give yourself 1 day to fiddle with it.

In the end, themes can be changed at anytime, so don't let this halt your progress.

Don't be shy about asking for feedback, even if your site is still in progress. Might be someone can help.

Good luck!

This is what you do take a step back and take a breath and breathe go do something fun to clear your mind. What you can do is read a book, listen to some music to relax with.

If you can take a drive just get away from the computer for a while. Then when you are ready to come back and start fresh. With a clear head, you will be able to accomplish anything you want.

That way you can stop feeling so overwhelmed and frustrated. I know when I first started I felt the same way and that is what I did and things starting coming together for me.

If you need any more help don't hesitate to ask and I always around except on the holidays. You can always PM me as well I will do my best to help you out.

Hey Brandon, step back and take a deep breath. Relax, Rome was never built in a day. What you are dealing with is the samething we have each done.

I have had many challenges while working this business. I have short term memory los. So I have to go back several times and constantly review different training.

Brandon, I feel if you just take it slow and follow the training first. You will have a very strong website that will make you quite a bit of income. But if you jump around and do other things on here. It's gonna be a long road ahead.

Stay focused

Don't overthink it, Brandon. I struggled too when I set up my first time. A few months later after I had developed it a little, I had a light bulb moment and knew exactly what I wanted it to look like. So I redesigned it and changed the theme and overall feel of the site. This is allowed!

Just don't let setting up your site take too much of your time. It is time you can use to start building your online career.

By the way, there is a site comments platform here at WA you might consider using once you have done the setup. The guys commenting on the sites usually give great advice which can aid you in further developing it.

All of the best to you!

Don't be hard on yourself Brandon!

Everything is hard before is easy ...

Follow Nicki's advice and you'll get there ... Step by step ...

Thanks for sharing. If you feel comfortable, can you please share your website? I'd like to have a look at it, and whilst I am no expert I may be able to provide a tip or two :)

cheers

At the moment it is not worth sharing. I will share it at the point that I am ready for some feedback, but currently it is very naked and unstructured.

I can appreciate that. Well, if you change your mind, feel free to direct message me and I can have a look.

Good luck! :)

Cheers
Karina

Hang in there! Remember going through the training alone has given you a massive advantage over the people that are trying to figure this out by themselves.
Be patient and kind to yourself and things will start dropping into place.
You can do this!!!!!

Thanks. I will get it sorted out sooner or later. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Hey!

I know it can get frustrating when that happens take a breather, and come back later and see if it is a little better. Browse different themes and layouts and see if that is the problem. If you really can't get it ask for someone else's opinion two eyes are better then one.

I just came back from a 4 day break from working on any of this and I just feel like I lost all traction.

I believe you will figure it out, be patient and keep trying.
