Tuesday Afternoon Motivation #3 - One Month in & STILL Motivated!

Well, well, well WA Community, I never thought the day would come where I dived head-long out of the Friying Pan into the Fire and do something I had NO knowledge about. Yes I had heard of Affiliate Marketing. I mean, in this day & age, who hasn't? Everyone is talking about it on ALL the Social Media Platforms. But to actually make a conscious decision & begin the Long Road to Financial Freedom by investing the time, effort & resources (physically, mentally & financially) and make a #ProperGo of this Affiliate Marketing Hubbub ;-) was for me a Super Scary day. But hey, if you don't move out of your "Comfort Zone", you will NEVER amount to anything.
Look at all the Successful/Influentail People in the World today, they ALL have the same thing in common...
...It’s not fate. Instead, it's: resilience. The good news is we all have it in us. All we have to do is learn to develop and utilize it.
Some call it hustle, moxie or grit. In the military, we called it “intestinal fortitude.” It’s the ability to overcome adversity, learn from it and push through to new heights. And it’s what separated the successful from the defeated.
I'm really proud of my accomplishment so far & know that this is just the beginning, but with the Motivation I have of leaving the 9-5 Rat Race behind to become Financially Free so my Family can enjoy life to the "Fullest" Stress Free, oh & be able to Travel the World knowing that I can generate an Income no matter where I am in the World (just need an electronic device & a Wi-Fi connection).
So, I have been here a Month and achieved so much in that time:
- Signed up to an Affiliate Marketing Platform- you'll never guess which one ;-)
- Created an account on said Affiliate Marketing Platform
- Started to work my way through the in-depth Training Program
- Purchased 2 Domain Names
- Created a Website for one of those Domains (the other is an investment)
- Started to work my way through the Bootcamp Program (I intend to make this another stream of Income)
- Created several Posts for my new Website and Published them, to be told bluntly by a fellow WA member that I was potentially in breach of Copyright Rules (thank you so much @DianeScorpio for pointing this out). That could have been a catastrophic disaster (even before I had started).
- Signed up to several Affiliate Programs (been accepted on 2 to date)
- Continuing to write Posts, but having them vetoed now before Publishing
- Finally, continuing my A/Marketing learning journey by reading up on everything I can
So, in essence, what I'm saying is, to all those who have just started their journey or to those who have lost their "Mo-Jo" or "Way", don't treat this descision of wanting to become financially free like a "New Years Resolution" (we ALL know how they normally end up), because, this is "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life".
Ready to put this into action?
Start your free journey today — no credit card required.
Treat it like an "Adventure"; Find something (a Niche) you are "Passionate" about, or if not, something you can talk/write about "Until the Cows come Home". That way, it will be easier or more interesting to continue your journey.
There is nothing worse than, waking up in the morning to go to that Dead-End job of yours, to pay your bills and maybe put a little something away for that "Rainy Day"...
...Well guess what! IT IS THAT RAINY DAY!
No? You're here right now reading this.
Find that one thing that Motivated you in the first place.
Write it down, put it up on every cupboard you have. Put it on all your Mirrors, until you "GET YOUR MO-JO BACK".
Then, leave it up there as a constant reminder.
Even better, create a reminder for a month from now in your phone. Then, when the month is up. put it in there again for a month from that date.
Guess what. That is exactly what I do. I WANT TO BE FINANCIALLY FREE.
Nothing is ever handed to you on a Plate. You have to work bloody hard in life to make something of yourself.
As a final point, I wanted to thank each and every one of you who have reached this point and taken time out of their busy day to read this. My only wish is, I have inspired just one of you to #CarryOn.
Wishing all of you success in your individual journey.
Until Next week
#CarpeDiem
