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

Well I'm back on WA after a couple of days of 'doing' life and am trying to prevent myself from falling into old habits. I love learning, and can veeery easily become sidetracked when something shiny pops into view!!

Despite my best efforts, I've even found this starting to happen within WA. When the notifications come through about new blogs, or training vids I'm on it like stink on doo doo!

The trouble with this is:

Ready to put this into action?

1) It takes me into a time warp and I awaken hours later without achieving my 'action list'.

2) Some of the training is probably best utilized at a later stage of my development, and can actually add to confusion, or feelings of panic (that I don't know enough).

The solution? Refocus and 'follow the training brick road'. The training has been designed to allow people to get the best outcome using logical steps: Follow it and the endpoint will be closer so much quicker.

So for any other newbies out there, trust the system and stick to the training and get the 'first things first'. Everything has it's place, and I'm pleased to say mine is here at WA!
