Advice on getting started at Wealthy Affiliate (or anything else for that matter)

If you say you are going to do something today, then DO IT!

Don't believe your own excuses when they raise their ugly head to remind you why you couldn't do it, because there will always be a million 'reasons' to procrastinate and avoid things.

  • I don't have time
  • It's too difficult
  • I have to do a million other things first
  • I'm waiting for the right moment
  • I need things to be perfect first
  • I've only got one pair of hands

What you need to focus on instead, is the ONE REASON you said you wanted to do it in the first place, because that will give you your motivation to get started and succeed.

So whether it's going premium, writing a new post, asking a question or listening to some timely advice, find a way and get it done.

Remember the words of some of the great spiritual teachers of our time......

"Just do it"

Nike

AND

"Do or do not - there is no try!"

Yoda from Star Wars


(Well, there's no requirement to where long robes and sandals to be a great spiritual teacher ...........the answers are everywhere in the universe if we could only see!)

I hope everyone has a very productive day.

Gail

Thank you. I needed that.

All the best.
- Joe

Great - then 'on to it Joe, on to it!' Hope IT goes well, whatever IT is! Gail

You are absolutely right, Gail. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Well done. You go, girl! Great post that ties the past with the future. I have always love Yoda! Thank you for reminding us all not to give up.

Thanks for reading Sylvia and glad it was helpful. Giving up is not the option for those determined to succeed. And succeed you will. Gail

Doing it I am. I have a few half baked things to clear up here Gail and you make a great muse and ,mentor to kick me forward! :)

Kicking I like not! But gentle nudge in the right direction we do! :)

Oh ok - it you need a kick - you have it! :)

Loving it I am Gail! :))

I can relate Gail. Procrastination and the fear of failure are very powerful. I intend to step beyond that this time. Been with WA quite awhile, so I know I'm in the right place.

Ever Forward,

Joe Maggio Jr

Great Joe. There's plenty of motivation here to keep you accountable - that's what's so great. Thanks for reading and replying. Gail

You only fail because you fail to try!

I have used all the excuses listed above, and the next day I wish I could have a 'do over' day!

Thanks for this!

Hi Noreen - I think we've all wished for a 'do over' day - and many times a 'duvet' day to boot! :)

Always start at the bottom. Starting half way up a ladder of life will cause an accident.

Haha - indeed Tom. That might be a bit difficult. :) Have a great day.

I like to see everybody smiling as it shows their inner beauty. so keep that smile going.

Tom.

Will do. You too. Gail :)

I loved the Star Wars reference one of my favorite movie franchises. Other than yoda r2-d2 is hilarious despite not being able to understand him. I liked the post really motivational plus yoda does speak the truth.

Thanks Matthew. Hope you are getting on well here. Star Wars was also one of my favourite franchises but I'm so old I remember the originals! :)

You are welcome actually I am doing good here learn things without actually watching one of the video courses. The original star wars a new hope came put 11 uears before, I was born I am 29 now. My mom and older brother got me ans my younger brother as kids into the movies. The original three are my favorites, the prequels were cool but not the best like the first three. I liked the force awakens I haven't seen the last Jedi yet though but want to see it.

Haha - now you're just making me feel old! :) . Glad you are doing well - it's all good.

Just getting up and starting is half of the battle. Nice post.

Thanks Richard. Glad you liked it and you're right - getting up and staying up is the secret! :)

Great blog Gail, and tying Yoda's favorite quote into the blog was great work.

Thanks Rodney. Yoda is one of my all time heroes! :)

Mine too. I love listening to him talk. Yoda rules; every time he talks and finishes his sentence I respond "I want to be like you, I want to be you". Yoda is Awesome!

Awesome indeed is he! :)
