My WA Secret
Everybody loves a good secret, and since I am already sharing it with the world, this is one you don't have to worry about keeping. Recently I blogged about my excitement in receiving my six-month dedication badge.
This badge is very special to me, but probably not for the reason you think.
Now I will share my secret: a few months back I got so frustrated with my niche, website, writing skills (lack of) that I canceled my WA membership.
Yep! You heard that right. I deleted my website and told WA: "Hasta la vista, baby."
That feeling lasted about 60 seconds before regret set in and I saw all the tremendous Wealthy Affiliate opportunities going bye-bye right before my eyes!
So I quickly rejoined WA, and thankfully Kyle and Carson didn't get all technical on me, and I didn't have to start over as a brand new member.
Although I feel like a fool for doing this, it was an excellent lesson for me; It helped me to realize that no matter what happens, I need to keep moving forward. There are going to be some difficult days where doubt is going to set in.
The critical thing to remember is not to quit. There will be times when you think success will never happen, and to that, I say just keeping reading posts from members that didn't give up and are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel finally.
The answers will come. Things will begin to happen. Just remember that it will take more than a few months!
So that is my WA secret, and I am happy I was able to share it with you. I hope it helps someone who is struggling today and I hope you will give yourself I chance to be successful.
Have an awesome weekend!

Thanks, Kinwan. I appreciate your comment and agree that we need to continue to persevere; I believe the payoff will be worth the time and effort!

Thank you for sharing Gina. I hope many WA members see this. The learning curve is just that ... it's a learning curve. If you're not a digital genius or you've discovered your writing skills are part of the learning curve there will be some times of frustration.
This "learn and do" training can be difficult at times ... especially the "Do" part. Just remember that every one has or will go through this. Just remember the only dumb question is the one that is not asked.
You can do this ... I wish you the best.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your comment and agree that there is a learning curve. For some, it will take longer than others, but I believe if you work hard enough and stay the course it will be worth it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post:) Enjoy your weekend!
Congrats on sticking with it Gina!
Next time you have those feelings, check out Simon Sinek's website, startwithwhy.com. I have no affiliation with the site. It is just good information!

That's awesome Gina. It does take time and effort to build a online business unless you just go pay someone to build it for you and even at that. you will pay a lot more money than what we pay here for Premium. Glad to have you back.
Take care

Thanks for this, Gina. I question myself all the time. But then I realize that I love this WA family...it's kind of like a cocoon and no matter where you are in this journey, it's a comfort to know there are thousands of us all in this together.
Hi, Cheryl. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. I question myself a lot too but like you I love WA and its beautiful people. I see the value of this platform, and I have committed to work on my business for at least two years before I re-evaluate.
Hopefully, by then I will be experiencing some success, and I wish the same for you.
Thanks again for stopping by and have an awesome weekend!
