In it For a Long Haul
There are many of us that get to this Wealth Affiliate platform after going through a lot of online and offline scams that promised a lot but never delivered. Instead, we carry the scars of financial losses, mental and emotional buttering by scammers.
We got here after being seriously looted by these scams, yet our expectations of this platform are still very much based on the old unsuccessful mindset. This is the same thinking that drew us to those that promised to deliver instant successes. It is as if we are still fixated in that mindset of overnight success. There may be many reasons to why we continue to use the standards of what hurt us to try to go forward with the programs and training on this platform.
The gamblers' mindset
Many of those ‘overnight success’ programs and schemes are more or less designed around the framework of gambling. The more you play and lose money the more you want to play hoping to recover from your previous losses until you have suffered devastating and life altering losses.
In spite of successive losses a gambler always has the feeling that the last loss was the final and the next one is a jackpot bet. I suppose the same playing and betting mentality and expectation through successive losses becomes embedded in our way of thinking as we move from one online money making scheme to another.
What we disliked the most about some of these schemes seemingly tends to be what we are drawn to ultimately. The various online scam encounters do in a way frame and shape our viewpoint overtime towards many seemingly similar programs of life and business in particular.
As we await the indexing of our websites on search engines, getting the approvals of various affiliate programs; the growth and earnings from our referrals; the earnings of our various affiliate programs there is need to constantly remind ourselves that we are on a steady wealth building journey. Otherwise, if we don’t we will be frustrated with the seemingly slow progress towards substantial periodic earnings on this platform.
Unrealistic Expectations
The edge to quit will come to some as many have done so in the past. This edge is usually borne out of unrealistic expectations; some which are derived from how we as members package and try to sell the platform to would be members out there. In my short stint here I have come to a conclusion that WA is not a money making scheme but rather an online business/entrepreneurship building platform.
While I’m sure there are some who may have had overnight success opportunities here on the platform, I would consider that’s out of the norm. Growth here is dependent on input and strategic instruments used to promote the products and services within our niches. There is no luck factor here. You cannot last here I believe if you lack the requisite patience and are not in it for the long haul.
Declaration
Allow me just to declare to myself; for myself and also encourage others who may have come a long way to get here. ‘I’m in it for the long haul and I will succeed’.
Let me hear from you if you are here for the long and will do whatever it takes to attain your goals. Your comments will be most appreciated.
