We are all here to make a positive change in our lives. We want to become independent, no longer tied to the traditional day job and we have financial goals that we would like to achieve. I know I certainly do.

Fortunately we have all found Wealthy Affiliate which I truly believe will help everyone here achieve those dreams and goals more than anything else that's out there. There's such a treasure trove of information and training here that will get you started on the right path and we all do start on that path.

The problem though comes later on down that particular path and I can tell you that I still struggle with it a lot as have MANY other members here. It can be such a struggle that Kyle himself has decided to help some of those with that struggle so that they can be successful with their online business.

What is the big significant struggle that someone encounters at one point or another on their path to success? That struggle is taking CONSISTENT ACTION. If we want to reach our goals and put into practice what we've been learning in the training here at Wealthy Affiliate, we have to take action! It's imperative that you do it in order to reach your goals. If you are not taking action, you're not going to get anywhere.

Let me tell you, there's all kinds of stuff that comes up that it seems like it's the intention of all of them is to keep us from taking action because I can certainly tell you that once you jump off of that consistent action train, it can be VERY difficult to get back on. It has to be done however, so you have to find the thing to motivate you to keep pushing forward, even if it's the last thing you want to do. If that means looking at that aweful credit card or medical bill to remind you how much money you DON'T have to try and pay it, then that's what you have to do. Afterall, you're here to make a positive change in your life, correct?

Trust me, I have that struggle even today. I started getting back on a consistent plan of action, but it slowed down quite a bit the last week and a half and I'm trying to speed it back up again. I know a lot of us think that we can't write, or that our posts/articles will not attract any visitors to our websites, but if we don't do anything then that's exactly what will happen. With some of the newer tools that are here at WA, how can you fail? SiteContent is absolutely amazing and I've been using it A LOT these last few months. I've created more 1,000+ word posts consistently since I've been using SiteContent, than at any other time in the history of my website and it is easier than a lot of people think.

I'll give you a good example. I've been working on a post for nearly two weeks now that is tied to an experience in one of the products I use in my niche. I've been writing it after I have completed or experienced a certain section of this product, but I haven't been in that product very much in the last two weeks so I haven't been able to finish that article/post in a timely matter as it is still a work in progress. So I'm thinking to myself, "If it's taking me this long to complete that post, I'll never be able to come up with another post in a quicker fashion especially one that can reach 1,000+ words."

Guess what? A MAJOR product in my niche was released today and I actually went out and bought it and it gave me a GREAT idea for a new post. Even though I haven't been able to experience this product yet, it gave a great idea for a keyword that I was able to research for on Jaaxy and I actually created a 1,200 word post in under 10 minutes, I just have to put the finishing touches on it and get it posted. The most important thing there is that I took action and I took action when an idea popped into my head! Once you start writing, you'll be surprised just how many words can actually get into your post.

Taking action is the only way we're going to succeed here even when it feels like nothing is moving or nothing is happening. Trust me, if you do it long enough, I promise you, something WILL happen and it just might surprise you when it actually does.

Great Post Brian! We've all been there. Well, I have been there too anyway!

I have been with WA for over 2 years now, but I have NOT worked consistently for 2 years!. If I would have, I would be way farther ahead than I am now. But hey sometimes life gets in the way.

However, I did learn a lot in those two years, so I didn't waste all my time here. That is a certainty!

One new thing I did in 2018 is I started in January with the SWAG gang. I did more in a short period of time on my new, only a couple of weeks old site than I did on 2 other sites in 2 years.

All it took is consistent action. I work at it every spare moment I have (I still work a 9 to 5 full-time job) and I have seen my site coming along really well!

Determination is also another factor. Combined with Consistent Action, it can move mountains!
Cheers my friend!

I have a question for you, what is the "SWAG gang"
You are so right, with consistent action.
Jacqueline.

It's the Super Wealthy Affiliate Group (SWAG).

Kyle has taken a big group under his wing and we are in the 3rd month of "specialized" training using the "make money online" niche.

It's real name is the Super Affiliate Challenge. Some of the members taking the challenge came up with SWAG...

You can find it here: I don't think it's a secret :)

Cheers

You are sooo right, I will have to probably go right back to the beginning as I have forgotten so much.
Thank you for this super post, it will reve me up full time.
Cheers Jae ☺

100% correct Brian. I struggle sometimes to maintain the same level of motivation and action can sometime be elusive. It's not that I'm lazy, but I can get distracted quite easily with other things like life, having fun, etc....LOL

Moving forward each day has real meaning now, not just something smart to say. It is surprising once you do take action things sort of fall into place. Excellent post thank you

I am struggling with this all the time! It can be so hard. We naturally feel inspired at times and totally not inspired at other times. We also have busy times in our lives with so much going on it can be so hard to find time for a website.

When I am consistent my site does so much better. It is pretty straightforward and yet so hard to pull off!

You are so right. Doing something is better than nothing. Consistency is the key to success. I have lots of unfinished posts that have yet to see the light of day but it hasn’t stopped me writing totally new ones.
With Grace and Gratitude

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Brian. You certainly have touched on an important point. Taking action is definitely the key to success with our businesses.
Jerome

Thanks for sharing this. It is a case of pushing through to keep consistent action. Approaching things in a different way.

Great post! I hope your new article attracts a lot of traffic!

I totally agree with you that failure to take consistent action or procrastination is one of the greatest enemies of success. Many a times we wait too long before we decide to take action and this leads to time wastage on our side. Thanks so much for this insight.
