My rank tanked!

Cat1574

Published on August 31, 2016

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

I started WA in May and was active, learning and creating. But then life kicked in and with work (I'm a bartender), my business (I sell on eBay and Amazon), and general household duties (including me time) WA and building a website were put on the back burner. My rank was in the 7000's (still not the greatest) but now its way backup to over 20,000!

In the beginning of July I tore my calf muscle at work. I couldn't move without a ton of pain for 10 days. In that time, all I had to do were think, read and watch tv (not a huge tv person). I did a lot of meditating and realized that my business was not my passion and I was itching to get back here to WA to build my site. I'm glad I'm back! I'm much more mobile now and have been working hard on my site with plans for a second site. While I still have my business, I have scaled it back quite a bit and am going after my passion...to share information, help and teach.

I've got my work cut out for me to get my rank back down but I know that I will do it. Once I go back to work, I know that I will continue on this journey. I'm motivated and staying positive.
