Practice Makes Perfect
What Does That Mean?
A Doctor that's working is said to be a practicing physician. The same with a Lawyer, a practicing Attorney. For that matter any professional that's working is said to be "Practicing" his/her profession.
So What Are We Here at Wealthy Affiliate?
Along with our regular jobs / responsibilities, we have taken on another profession. We have all become Bloggers. We are Information Agents, spreading knowledge and entertainment about specific subjects throughout the world wide web. We are Story Tellers seeking an audience that is interested and related to the topics we write about.
What is Our Goal?
Obviously our main goal is to increase our income, but to do that we need to strive to be perfect. "Perfect" is a state of mind in this business. It's something we will never reach because we are always updating and adding to our sites to keep them fresh. If they were perfect we wouldn't need to update because you can't get better than perfect.
Practicing means "Doing". As long as we are "doing" our jobs and updating our sites, we are heading towards perfect.
If we stop "Doing" / "Practicing", then "Perfect" slips farther away, until we can no longer see it.
Never Give Up, Never Surrender. Success is Out There!
What Have I Learned and My Goals
What Have I learned so far in this World of WA? Other than some good information:
- My First impression is NOT always the best.
- Sometimes hitting the Reset button and starting fresh is the way to go.
My website which I thought might be a bust - "Why does this old guy have a website called Moms Choice baby Clothes". I attribute it to thinkers block when it comes to niches. After picking it I've thought of an array of other things I should have tried.
My three month plan - Keep pumping out the content and expect nothing
My six month plan - More of the same and hopefully by then my google rankings will start to come up, but still expect nothing.
High Expectations can cause depression if you don't get results right away. This business is a process that takes time to build. I think Google likes it that way, because it looks more legitimate.

This is so true, all of it. Great blog! Sometimes we build up these expectations and then when we check our sales, it makes us depressed. I like your mindset, "Work hard, expect nothing" I've been trying not to check my affiliate sales page on amazon, but I also know that there's a deadline to sell at least one item in 180 days. You'd think I could do it!? Lol.
No but seriously, we shouldn't forget that it's all about improving and pushing forward. Not making excuses, and not feeling sorry for ourselves. That's what I got from this post..
All the best,

You're absolutely right Stu. Cheer! :)
