The Beginning of my journey starts here.
How is everyone out there doing? i received a message from Kyle this morning, and appreciate so much the personal interest he has in our success.
How did you start and keep on track? I started the course and am still on course 1 one...lesson 3... and sidetracked by reading so many interesting blogs! In reality I have so many things going on at once, I don't know where to start first... it seems I am in a whirlwind and none of it is progressing....
I know that I need organize my time to continue on with the courses, then it will clear. I haven't got a website yet for this niche, although I have had a website for my magnetic therapy set up for 3 years on Word Press, but never hosted it. I don't feel comfortable to sell my own magnetic therapy products online at this time, and would like to link to other sellers or affiliates....
I am planning to create a website to promote Wealthy Affiliate. I am so happy to be here, but truly overwhelmed. I see how many of you set up your blogs, so that you can offer practical advice, and it is so interesting what so many of you write. I am looking forward to doing that but I need to build the foundation first.
So with my anxiety that keeps hanging in there, i am on the diving board....ready to take the plunge and sign up for a year, and apply myself to perfecting my stroke. The water right now is muddy......there are too many waves at once!
First: I am cleaning out my closet..which now takes up a spare room that is only empty this next two weeks before a new roommate moves in. I must de-clutter, but it is not easy for me to part with my clothes. Yes, a bit of a hoarder with clothes and books, likely from years of not having much and having a love of thrift stores and garage sales.... What will I actually use? I plan to use all of them but what is reality?
Reality: A family reunion this weekend of all our mother's decendants. (11 of us plus mates)..except for one in Toronto who can't make it out west...(Vancouver Island). This is a celebration for my mom who passed away one year ago on July 11th..and some of the grandchildren who could not come last year. Also, for us four siblings, to remember a cousin who passed away on the 9th of July this year. My mom was the youngest in her family and the last of her immediate family to pass away at 90 years young! My cousin was the oldest of the decendants, and the first cousin to pass away. His mom was 20 years older than her sister, our mother. So my mind has been on preparing for the reunion. I am sure many of you can relate to these times.
I will have my brother for a few days, he is a survivor of a fatal car crash that killed his two friends 40 years ago, and left him with a progressive brain injury, so he was not able to pursue a career. He will share the room with my clothes for a few days!
My daughter and her husband and my son will also be here and we are having a BBQ at my sister's place 30 miles away. We will all be together..except for one grandchild...my niece.
I have a deadline of July 30 for my closet "reorganizing" and am overwhelmed with too much clothes for my closet space. Seems that is the way with my courses too....too many for the hours in my week....I have to set priorities and organize my time to follow the courses and make progress.
I have a book on ADD-Friendly ways to Organize your Life. I have read to the third chapter where it charts 10 steps to ADD Habit building. I also listened to Brendon Bouchard on how successful people start their morning, the first place to start a new beginning....
Brendon advises that the first place is to do something healthy is when you wake up...stretch,.. excercise. The first of 10 steps to ADD Habit building is: "Tie a new habit with an old one"... radio alarm & dance moves :)

It is difficult to schedule everything in at the beginning but it does get easier as time goes on. Hope you enjoy the reunion, it sounds like fun! :)
Hello Elena. As I read the beginning of your blog, I felt you were writing for me as well. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with WA and had to take a breather yesterday. I don't think I realized how hard I had been working at this because I was really, really tired. There is a lot to see and do within this platform. Between thanking followers and following back, watching/completing training, working on website(s) and engaging further in the community--it can become overwhelming. It's fun, I'm learning a lot and I know it's worth it, but it's overwhelming. I, too, am curious how successful community members structure their time.
I hope your weekend with family has been WONDERFUL! Start fresh on Monday and do what you can.
Take care!
Thanks Elena for sharing your journey with us. Your book sounds interesting. I like an early start to my day. It is my time for myself.
Have a great weekend
