I Almost Gave Up - But I am Gonna Try Again
I just decided to jump on here and put it out there that I am not giving up yet. I have been on WA for over a year and for the most part I enjoyed blogging but I have not made money worth writing home about. At some point I felt like it took too much work and I shelved it for a while and went back to a full-time job.
Problem is, every time I want to shut down my account, I know deep inside that I am making a mistake. I did not believe in myself enough, I did not put my best effort to succeed and I know for sure that the system works if you work it because I have made a few coins. Truth is I hate to give up before I have tried everything and it failed, and I know for sure I have not tried everything here. In fact for the most part I underutilized the resources available to me here.
So at the beginning of this month, after a lot of personal work that hhas gone into restoring my self confidence, I decided that I am going to give it one more chance. And I am so excited about this. For some reason I feel so confident that this time, I am going to experience the success that I have desired.
What am I doing differently?
I am setting and breaking down my goals into sizable bits that I can achieve daily, weekly and monthly to avoid getting overwhelmed.
I am going through the training again, this time I am determined to finish it and I am taking note of everything that's on there and implementing it.
I believe in myself. When I started here the first time, I was not sure I could do it and I allowed that to get into my head. I was just trying and I ended up slacking. This time I am going all in and I truly have confidence in my ability to build a successful online business.
I am avoiding distractions - This time I am staying laser focused on my goals and I have learnt not to fall prey to the shiny object syndrome.
I am putting myself out there - this one is always a scary one for me but hiding my struggles has been one of the biggest things that has kept me down. This time I am intentionally choosing to put myself out there, my flaws and all, to ask for help when I need it. I am considering getting a mentor because I feel like sometimes I just need one-on-one guidance when I am stuck.
New Chapter
This is a new chapter for me and it is as exciting as it is nerve-racking but I am not focusing on the nerves right now.
I am back and I cannot wait to do exactly what I am capable of - make magic happen online!
So long WA family, I'm happy to be back.

I'm glad you're back, Debbie! It sounds like you're off to a better start this time. I believe you can do this b/c we have such great training and tools here. And also we have a very supportive community that can help us any time we feel stuck or unable to figure things out. I can't wait to hear about your successes! :)
All the best to you!

Its tough to break the 9-5 mindest of getting instant gratification and return on time put in but in a business, you must stay the course, never give up, not give yourself breaks and know that the money will come. God bless your journey.
