Discouraged????

I have been here for a month now, precisely one month and four days and I have not made on penny.

Now some may say, "give it some time", "keep working", "be consistent" and things like that, but in my opinion it's really not about how long you have been a member at WA, but more so how much time you are spending on your website. Two people could have joined WA at the same time but person "A"is putting in double the amount of hours as person "B".

In the weeks that I have been here, I have seen success stories, but there are more people complaining about not seeing any results than those that are (as far as income is concerned). And why wouldn't they? alot of people are working really hard, putting in more hours on their site than they would at a regular 9-5 and to not see any results can be discouraging.

Now, I promised myself, the day I joined, that I would stick this out for a year. I know typically, any new business needs a year before it has, not just steady revenue, but also profit, so I gave myself the typical year.

This post it to piggy back off of one of the WA members, (I won't mention any names) but he made a post, that to me sounded like he wanted to quit, so if you are reading this post, or anyone else who may be discouraged at this point, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Set a time for yourself, whether it's six months, a year whatever give yourself that much time before you throw in the towel cause once you give up on WA, you will find yourself looking and searching AGAIN for another opportunity.

You came here for a reason. You joined for a reason. You stayed this long for a reason. Let that reason have it's purpose, in it's time!!!!

PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP, not just on WA but on yourself. A lot of us are not seeing results as fast as we thought but don't let that discourage you.

ANYTHING THAT IS GOOD, IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!! and to be your own boss is a good thing!!!
