A week off to recharge.

So after an emotional week in the forex markets last week, culminating in me losing what would have paid for my yearly WA membership. I decided to take a break from all trading related activites. This included my website as my niche is...thats right...Forex trading!

I have still been floating around the WA community a bit but had a week off of 'working' on my website. I say 'working' because it doesnt feel like work to me anymore, I am enjoying it that much.

Which is why today I ended my sabbatical and returned to the training and building... Its been quite a productive day to say the least.

Patience always pays...

Now the reason I had such a dire week in the markets (well mon/tues were profitable- weds onwards it went severely downhill) was due to a lack of patience. I was trying to cut corners and skip steps in the process. But as we all know, that is just not possible.

PROCESS - a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end

The particular end I was after was trying to make money alot quicker than my plan allowed, and guess what happenedI didnt follow the steps laid out and I got burned badly... Another harsh lesson learned.

But then I thought to myself, I am planning on building my website knowing it will take me a good year or two to get where I want in the google rankings (my niche is highly competitive with some big players who have been at it a LONG time)

So why the heck am I trying to rush my trading and become an overniight success, it is extremely unlikely to happen. With this in mind I have now vowed to have the same level of patience across ALL aspects of my life.

So that was my problem, and the solution is to really live my life with TRUE patience. Now for the positives upon my return to the training and my website building. I cant believe the progress I have made in the last day!

-I am signed up to an affiliate program with my forex broker and make a % of commisions (I already have two people linked to me, these being two friends but hey its still %)

-I have my amazon affiliates up and running and have my first item link on my website where visitors can click through and actually buy something - via my website! Just wow.

-I have put links to my affiliate program on a few pages on my website so even random visitors I dont know can now be inked up with me. And on top of this I have added banners and widgets to my website to make it have a more professional look and feel!

I didnt even know what the hell a widget was this morning :D

-Google adsense is reviewing my site, so hopefully that will be ready for next week too.

-I now have a whole host of ideas for products to review that are more high value to hopefully monetize my site in the next year or so I could start actually see some £$ coming through... Patience... I am here for the long haul thats for sure.

Finally I am seeing the path to making money online....

But by far the best part of my week is thanks to my unexpected tax return, I have cleared a big chunk of debts (these were ruining my mindset as I was getting pretty desperate).

AND.... I finally paid my monthly membership ON TIME for the first time since i joined back in december. This really did put a smile on my face.

Progress. Progress. Progress...

Next stop paying my yearly membership with the money that I make in the coming weeks from my actual online niche which is forex trading... I cant wait for the week to begin already. First a weekend with my son :D

Heres to the path to financial freedom and the crazy journey that will take us all there!

All the best everyone and I hope you have a great weekend! Thank you to everyone who has helped me so far on my journey I am truly grateful for everything.

Kind regards
