In a rut! Slow down and go back to your foundation, the beggining!
This week I am coming up on 4 weeks here and have been a premium member. This week I have hit writers block and information overload. I have also been trying to do some self searching and trying to figure out where I will go next in this endeavor.
Never one to completely quit, I got up today and started to review my site, all my notes and figure out why I am spinning my wheels!
I started thinking about stopping premium because of the cost and after much review find that the solution is not to cut my Premium membership but to figure out where I got lost and in so much turmoil with myself!
I have worked so hard the past few weeks that I burnt myself out and didn't organize some of my foundation as I should have. So now what I have figured out is wrong is this, I am going back to the start of lesson 2 certification course and redoing all of Kyle's trainings and making sure I got it right the first time because I know I didn't get into this rut by doing everything I should.
I've got to admit I got ahead of myself in my excitement! Like I kept saying in the beggining, Learn, Learn,Learn! And with that being said now I am saying don't be afraid to go back and redo what you didn't get right the first time!
If anything I'm definatly learning is that this is complicated and here at WA I have a good jumping off point but its up to me to slow down and stay centered and apply all that is here.
I know its not going to happen in a day, week, month, 6 months I should be okay and at about a year if I'm not somewhere than I really am doing it wrong. But here in the beggining I 'm realizing I have alot of work to do! WA is the tool that will teach me but if I don't monitor and manage myself everyday and motivate no tool or teacher will help me!
So, back to the drawing board and this week I will slow down and go back over my first lessons and make sure I take time to make that foundation solid! I will also concentrate on how to make my content rock out! Use my keywords better and organize my pages and thoughts and make my site more organized.
Yeah, the first month was fun and energized and I learned alot now it is time to apply and redo and really see what I've really got!

I understand this situation, but it's important not to become "comfortably numb"(referring to Pink Floyd) to excel with your blog and marketing. Make a schedule and figure out what your problems are and get your business going! And be outgoing! You already are ! Ask..and the WA forum is great for just that:) Let's Go:)Kristo
honesty with one's self is always the best policy, and if we can suspend the negative self talk and accept us where we are, then so much the better.
Schematics or mind maps are really useful to give a navigational oversight of what we have done and to reference things to go back to.
It also helps to embed things at a deeper level.
Wine also helps. I recommend it, or its equivalent for most situations. LOL.
Thank you for sharing, Andy

I am where you are are now. I have been here for weeks and I have my site up and running, I don't see a big change in attitude or altitude so I'm thinking!! Where do I go from here.
Perfect timing on this post. I am feeling the same way and about at the same time. I also suggest to others to take a step back and gather their thoughts, wonder why I didn't take my own advice. Back to basics it is.
Many people hit that block if not most people. Your not alone. Take your time and figure out where you want to go with this online endeavor.
Work, review, have fun, energize, work, review, set new goals, focus, review, take a breather….this is the life we love. Success will happen, it is the foundation and tweaking our sites that get you there.
Am following you, so if there is any way I can help, or when another rut arrives, please ask. ^_~
