Cancelled my membership
Hi everyone,
Today I cancelled my membership. It does make me feel sad but at the same time feel good because it had to be done for mainly one reason; motivation.
Other reasons are financial, health and perhaps slight disbelief in affiliate marketing. It's all fair though that I did not make money because I admit not spending enough time on my blog. Financially I am doing bad because of that but also because of my health with this mysterious chronic pain that my terrible doctors cannot seem to diagnose.
Having said that motivation is just not there
I am afraid you really need to enjoy blogging and shooting videos on itself if you want to make it in WA. I really HATE IT. I remember reading some of nathaniel's articles which somewhere said: "if you are passionate enough, you have a recipe for failure." The problem is I am passionate about surf and travel, not blogging about it.
When I blog, 30 minutes later the first thought is:
"ughh am I done yet?"
My guess is you need to enjoy blogging even if you are not making money. I do feel attached to my blog. My next thought has to be whether I want to keep my blog or not. WA is too expensive for just blogging.
Thanks for reading my blog. My name is Daniel and I wish everyone the best in business and life.

I think I might have said, "If you areNT passionate enough", or "recipe for SUCCESS", lol.
To succeed in the online business world, it does take a certain amount of desire to write about your opinions and connect with people that are interested in the same stuff as you. I DO agree, that it can be much more boring to write about surfing than actually surfing!
Anyway, sorry to see you go man. If you ever decide to pick up the biz again, you're always welcome back.
Hi Daniel sorry WA didnt work out for you and all the comments below say everything I would have said. All the best for the future and whatever you decide to do.
be sad to see you go Daniel hope your health will improve if you could just video etc your surfing skills that could be a way forward for you, take care and I wish you all the best
It's sad to see you go my friend. Hope you gain good health and hope to see you once again here in the near future.
Daniel please know that I hope nothing for you but the very best. Trusting also that your doctor is able to correct your physical challenges. Be blessed!
Daniel we will miss you. If you have chronic pain then that is going to make it difficult for you to do much of anything else. You need to find a way to get yourself healthy first. Once you have joy in your heart and life then that can flow from your heart to words on a paper or blog. You are simply sharing with unseen friends the things from your heart. There are topics which I would have difficulty putting on paper myself.
It sounds very much like you may have fibromyalgia. Whatever it is, if you will remove dairy, grains, and sugar (along with artificial sweeteners) from your diet for about 3 weeks, and see how you feel. Yes there is still plenty to eat. It is called good natural food.
If the pain has decreased or gone then you may start slowly adding things back into your diet one at a time. You may discover that something that you have been eating has caused your pain.
I do wish you the very best and hope you find what you need in life. Take care and God bless.

Thanks teacup, according to my holistic doctor I've got Lyme disease. She has pills that have made a lot difference. I am off pain killers! Still suffering but atleast there is some progress. I want nothing to do with conventional doctors they seemed to make me worse than I was.
Lyme disease can really take it's toll on you. I pray that you will gradually get your health back. Business can wait. We all wish you well. Take care.

Its hard when you are not feeling motivated, frustrated at lack of income and have health issues so maybe you just need a break from WA. In the meantime since you enjoy being outdoors why don't you join instagram. You can get a following by posting photos of surfing,quotes,selfies etc and if you build it up on a regular basis you will have an audience for your products and your blog if you still feel like blogging you don't have to spend much time on this You can get the app on google playstore and it may take a day or two to get your head around it but at least you will be making progress Watch a few tutorials on youtube Hope this helps
Daniel I know it's hard to stay motivated when you're in pain. I've been there. Almost died 4 times and spent 3 years in the hospital. But after I came through it all, I found it a blessing to be able to blog and make my living online. It sounds like you really have different aspirations and need to follow those at present. I wish you and yours all the best in your surf and travels.
Hi Daniel, sorry to hear that. Please take care of your health. Speedy recovery. Wish you all the best.

Love your openness, Dzimmerman. However, if your were successful at Cancelling your membership, you, most likely, will not see my post.
Good luck at following your passion.
