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

So I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for almost 2½ year now, and it has been a very interesting ride. Getting a lot of new acquaintances and been overwhelmed all the help and lessons available inside this community. However time and time again I met this guy who kept standing in my way of success.. Apparently I have been following this guy ever since I started in here, I just didn't know.

Well about a 3 weeks ago I decided to really spend some time in here... And by being active, helping others out and observing the successful people in here, I ranked better than ever.. But more important: I finally found out what this guy is called...

Mr. Procrastination

Have you ever met him?

He is the guy sitting on your shoulder whispering thing like:

  • This is hard, why don't you just look at funny cats on Youtube instead
  • Think it over once more.. It must be difficult. Otherwise everyone would do it
  • You better watch some more videos before you start creating content

Well illustrated by this cycle:

Have you also heard him?

Well I have, and he have been sitting on my shoulder almost since I started in here.. But now I have decided to unfollow him as a friend and follow the the words of Nike and lately Shia LaBeouf (https://youtu.be/ZXsQAXx_ao0):

...But is it really that simple? Well time will tell for me, but what do you think? Is it better just to get going and learn from your mistakes or do you prefer to have everything in control before starting up?

Let me know, and please follow me if you like, then we can follow up on each other's success and motivate each other when needed.

To success!

Cheers
