My Disappointment-Should I Give It Up Here Or Try It Somewhere?
Disappointment is the worst word everyone hates, becaue it can lead people to different directions. It can be explained as the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest.
I have decided to take good of this lock down moment to finish my Wealthy Affiliate bootcamp training as soon as possible so that I can have the time to check back my website and fix everything that needs to be done properly. But unfortunately Here I am, stocked out of the door without any key. And I don't really know how long is going to take.
Why Am I Calling It A Disappointment ?
Before starting this new and perfect journey at Wealthy Affiliate, I have been a victim of scam many times. Fortunately from the day I have got access to this community all my ordeals have come to end and I have noticed it from the beginning.The only thing I was missing at the start is how to be active and serious with my training. So, it took me a month before I did realize that, because I was thinking that it is just a process of sit down and get rich without any personal effort, before knowing it through a message sent to my email box by someone. I am very grateful for that.
Therefore, from the day I have taken the decision to be serious and active, I faced some difficulties to login to my WA platform account. I have tried everything to no avail on that day. I have to leave it and look for another alternative to calm down the disappointment. When I came back to carry on after two days, my laptop was unable to turn on. I have to take it to the repairer and leave it there for one week.
Honestly speaking I have met with many difficulties which push me to give up on my dream of setting up online business since. But I always say to myself, I will be a looser if I give up but a winner if I carry on whatever the obstacles. And luckily that I have found a place like Wealthy Affiliate, I am sure this is my time and there is no reason for me to abandon in the middle of the way.
A Repeat Of Disappointment.
The time is money and it not at our hand. So I did not want to wait for my laptop to be repaired before continuing my training, because I was wondering if waited longer, it would have taken away my eager decision to carry on as soon as possible. Having noticed that I did buy a new laptop the next day to turn the fight alive. At this time,things start nicely and smoothly such as my training is concerned till the moment I have to accomplish my first task on my website.
When I tried to login to my website the system was not responding properly and the only message which is coming out was you can not login, there is an error. Oh an error again! Where exactly all these are taking me to? I said in desperation to comfort myself and look for an answer immediately. So my prompt answer was to continue with the training anyway to avoid being late on both side, not knowing that the training, in normal way,must work together with our website so that everything must be done correctly, to avoid a few missing points, especially such as the newbies are concerned.
I did continue the training along without completing the tasks till the end of PHASE three when our lock down regulations and social distance rules have come into place in a fight to prevent corona virus disease. Then the only opportunity I have at this time is to tried to carry on with my training and strive to sort out all the problems with my website, because I have much time to do it at this particular moment that everyone is locked in for while.
A House Without A Foundation.
Yes I finally realize that the journey I am taking is like building a house without a foundation. It will fall one day, so I am in obligation to go back and restart everything new. That was my own advice and I did take seriously with an immediate action. I deleted my old website and built a new one but at this time not with free domain. I have decided to purchase a new domain through Wealthy Affiliate platform with which I built a new website, thinking it will the end of my problems. Yes again it looked like everything was OK and things start moving up for. A house with no foundation can not stand for so long.
After updating my laptop and building a new website, to login to it has become easier than ever. Thus, I have checked through all the unfinished works and start building up my website slowly by step and step process. I have even started writing my contents according to the tasks regardless the difficulty I am having to do it, because to be honest I am very new to this online marketing business in which we have write content on contents to get free traffic from google.
Writing content remains my hardest tasks ever in this business. At this point I have no choice than to manage to do it my way. For me it is another disappointment in fact that every obstacle that I face, I do consider it as a closed door to block me achieve my dream. But as I have already said that learning is basic and principal tool or key to succeed in life. Without it this world can not be where it is today. We have started since we were in our mother's womb and from since we were born till this day through different situations. So I have to keep learning whatever the matter, either in good time or bad situations.
Where Did I End Up ?
Everything was going well till I have reached the phase five of the training where we have been asked to send our last content to the platform and take part in the discussion so that we visit each other website and leave a comment. A friend of the WA community went through my website link to leave his comment. Unfortunately while he clicked on read more section to read through my post, he has been directed to a blank page. And kindly he sent me a private message to notify me of it as quick as possible. And since then I have been trying to sort the problem out in vain. I try to speak to some of the top helpers about it and got a help from some of my community friend but till now the problem is not solved yet.
I always say I can not stop at this point whatever the situation, that is why I have to move on and keep seeking the solution. And till yesterday, on the phase 5 with lesson 5 I was completely blocked and there no way I can continue the training because the lesson 5 and 6 are interlinked. If I don't finish off the lesson 5 properly it will be difficult to go through the lesson six and understand it.
I am grateful, yesterday I contacted Mr Kyle for help in less than 2 minutes he got back to me for some details so that he can check the problem and look for solution. I can confirm again that WA is the best place to start our journey at, and I am so glad to be here.
Actually I am waiting for a solution. In case, no solution is found as I am 100% sure there will be a solution, there will nothing I can do than regretfully leave you guys here and look for another alternative because I have to achieve my online business dream.
If you were at my place what will you advise me to do?

Thank you for sharing,
"It is at the time you want to give up that success is around the corner"
Personally I think you should stick with it especially as Kyle is going to help you out.
I joined WA 1 years ago but did not become a premium member until April this year. I find things tough despite writing posts and working on my website but I am learning all the time. People here are amazing and I know help is around the corner.
Success is around the corner if you believe.
All the best

I know it has been hard, but please don't give up. Kyle is helping you now, and for anything else you can ask us here to to help. As for your laptop issues, I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes we get so many obstacles thrown at us that we wish we had not taken such a difficult path, but once we overcome all those obstacles, we are always glad we jumped the hurdles and made it to the finish line.
Your heart is in the right place that's for sure and your writing is superb looking at this post it really relays a message so I can Only say pick yourself up, wipe off the dust and come through this knowing it's a lesson you have learned.
Not every day is as good as the first so get into your writing and treat it like a hobby, something you don't have to do but more enjoy doing this is an important message and try to be like me where it simply isn't in my vocabulary to give up so soon.
I have written about 70 posts but still await Google to pick up on some of them. Bing seems to like my posts but I feel the need that my main traffic will come from Google sooner than later I just sense that I'm getting better.
Please don't give in because your hearts in the right place and you seem like a genuine man that deserves a break and your writing is really cool looking at your blog not to mention you have a friend in me if you need some support.
In Friendship

We have all been there my friend. You are doing really well (believe it or not). You are strong and you have sticktoitiveness.
Don't be too eager. Take a deep breath.
It has been my experience when a link (in your case - read more)
doesn't work then either the page its linking to is not there, the link is misspelled or there is a problem with an internal pointer.
Write another article click on read more and see if the same thing happens.
I see you asked for kyle's help. That's good. One way or another it will get resolved.
Just remember as a newbie you are going to run into many glitches. Facing them and resolving them will all be worth it - trust me.
There is a lot of website training (wordpress specifically) that you may want to check out.
I clicked on the website in your profile and it is broken.
This is just my suggestion - back up your article(s) and start again.
Even right out of the box on WA's website initial setup you should not get an error.
Then - one step at a time work on you site - document what you did for each step - check out each step as you complete it - then if you get an error you will know where it came from.
As you gain more knowledge and experience with the wordpress platform and your theme it will become a lot easier.
Keep going
Liz

I have been there and with faith, a deep breath and consistency things went forward. When things get complicated and seem to be out of control take a step back, take a break and relax your mind and body - stress only makes things worse.
In your case I would not give up. Your current problem is only a glitch - just proceed forward even while Kyle is looking into it.
As you learn more the glitches will get less and less.🙃🙂🦋
