Why I Took 2 Months to Reach Level 2? Newbies, Attention Please.

Because I Made 3 Mistakes:

1. I started with a "niche" thinking about money, get stuck somewhere in the training, only to find that it's not the niche I'm passionate about. Then switched to Bootcamp for sometime and hit a bump another time. Finally followed my passion and without thinking about money. That "Finally" took me 5 weeks after joining WA.

2. I'm "no writer", fell into "Writer's Block Syndrome" often, and wasted hours without producing anything. It took me more than a week to write my first post. One evening struggling with Writer's Block, I took a break to read a book I love, it gave me some inspiration to write a new blog and got my momentum to continue the post. I followed the trick afterwards and carry on writing 3 more posts to my site to complete level 2.

3. I followed the training, got some problem doing the tasks, and tried to fix by myself. I didn't realize the Power of Community in WA. Actually, most of the problems have been encountered by fellows before, and the solution is already here! It could take me an hour to solve a problem by myself while a solution is readily available in WA community in a minute.

A Word to Newcomers

I'm just a Premium Starter, who took 2 months to complete 2 levels. I'm not in the position to teach you. Yet you are welcome to learn from my mistakes. Help yourselves, please.

• Follow your passion. Go for a niche you're passionate about, even you have no idea about how to make money with it for the time being. Then you will move much faster in the learning and enjoy more on the journey as well. Some day money will come to your surprise. Still not convinced? Read this great blog from a fellow of us.

• Take a Break. Congratulation if you are a writer who finish a post of 1,500+ words in no time. Otherwise, you might also fall into "Writer's Block" from time to time. Perhaps taking a break like reading a book, brew a cup of coffee, go for a run, play with your kids or grandchildren... could keep you refreshed and inspired when going back to your writing. Sometimes we can move faster by slowing down.

• Look for help. Whenever you have a problem about your training and learning in WA, don't keep it to yourself. Search on the platform, post a question, live chat your fellows, even PM someone who doesn't know you! There IS an answer here. Don't waste time reinventing the wheel. Hitch-hike instead!
  

My dear fellows, though I can't teach you anything, I'm here to give a hand.
