Overnight Success- Is there such a thing?

Overnight Success Takes a Long Time. Does it really? I'm a few weeks in to my journey here at Wealthy Affiliate and tonight, I spent a lot of time reading the "Give and Take" comment thread. I started thinking about this photo I used in one of my website post and thought... for a little while about time.

It says "overnight success takes a long time", but time is only relevant to the one who is measuring it. A long time for me, may not be a long time for you, and vice versa.

Tonight, I spent the last few hours reading other post in the WA community to leave comments or give feedback. For me, this took a long time.

Was it worth it?

Yes. It was well worth my while to take the time to read post from someone I may never meet, or to leave comments when it might not be reciprocated.

Why? I learned just as much by going through articles from different stages of this journey. Some were very insightful and some were completely new to everything. Some were speaking directly to me, and now that I am aware of target audiences and what not; I knew that I was the audience of various articles (and even booked marked some for future reference).

When you come across an article that speaks to you, pay attention to it! You want to apply the same methodology to your own niche.

It's okay to be your own self critic

I realized, after reading some pretty awesome post, that I might not be as informative as I could be. Sometimes, rushing through a post so that I can get to the next training video and put another mark in my "completed tasks" isn't the best thing for my growth and sustainable success!

So, back to my caption, --Overnight Success Takes a Long Time...

Success can happen in a short time but it doesn't happen overnight. Take the time to invest in yourself and find the value in investing in others!

Wishing you all the best,

~Elissaburn

What a great post I enjoyed reading it very much. I agree with you because success does not happen overnight I wished that it did but it takes hard work, determination, persistence, and passion.

Those are the keys to succeed in this business. We are all going to be successful because we are all working hard.

You are off to a very rewarding journey. If your article posts can convey to your target audience like you just did here. Your journey will be well rewarded. You already have a great mindset and that is half the journey to success. And I do wish you much success.

Thank you Cav1966. It's been rewarding thus far; but I do look forward to the financial rewards later. (sooner rather than later:))

It will come, usually when least expected LOL
The training does work so if you can follow that and if you can be consistent on your website writing then you will do fine. :)

Wow, decided to chill for a bit and read, maybe comment on some posts and I find yours:)
Extremely fitting for me at this time. I've had a hard time moving forward because of other commitments and kept thinking 'I just need to get another post done'.
Thanks for reminding me there is much to gain from listening to the thought shared in this community.
All the best to you.
