Taking the Advice of Other Members - Don't Give Up!

Hello everyone,

I am entering my 3rd month here at WA and thought I would write a progress report. I would like to say that I have mastered my training thus far and have money rolling in. Unfortunately that is not the case, but I knew that it wouldn't be. I did not go into this thinking it was a "get-rich-quick" scheme. I am wise enough to know that anything worth having takes work and perseverance (unless you win the lottery). I plan to stick to that.

During my second month I remember reading a blog post from another member that said, "take breaks, reboot and have fun". I couldn't see it then but I can now. As I progress in the training I have hit some stumbling blocks. I am NOT a computer savvy individual. I have no idea about "code", HTML, RSS, AWS, Plug Ins, Tools, Settings, etc., etc., etc. It can be very overwhelming and time-consuming as well. As I try to navigate my way through the dashboard on my site, and how to add items to it, I have numerous other windows open on my screen trying to find help. I love writing content and doing the research for articles but I need to generate an income! I think Kyle's advice in regard to "goals" made a lot of sense. I find myself trying to do so many things in any given day and I end up accomplishing nothing. Goal setting has helped. I take some time for content, separate time for affiliate links and analytics and now I am branching out and trying to get a foothold in social media. Along with that, of course, there is a house to maintain, bills to be paid, groceries bought, animals tended to and supper to be cooked ( which I should be doing now). I know I will be moving much slower in my training and content in the next couple of weeks because I have the grandchildren coming to stay. That is time I cannot spend attached to my computer. We don't get to see them often so time with them is precious.

The point is this; It can get overwhelming. It can be frustrating, but don't lose sight of the end goal. Have fun, enjoy yourself, take a break if you need to and remember we are all here to help one another. Joining Wealthy Affiliate has been one of the best things I have done in a long time and I plan to forge ahead and become a pro at this! I would just like to thank all those members that have come to my rescue and everyone else for all the support. This is a wonderful family and I am lucky to be a part of it!

Wishing you all the best in your success and now I really must go and finish supper!
