"OH" Come on.
Everything is stagnant
You know the feeling, put up content, put up content, keep checking sales, any money coming in. In a word "NO", it reminds me of the old John McEnroe phrase - after looking for almost two weeks since the last sale on your site, you shout at your screen "OH Come on, you cannot be serious"!
Traffic is coming in, people are leaving good feedback, is there anything that is missing. Checked with your affiliate coach, yes all is fine just trust the process, content, content, content. It feels like you are playing this game and someone is just laughing at you, why are you doing this again?
Immediate results
I do think I'm caught up in the culture of today, I want everything to happen now, I said NOW. Then when it doesn't happen you get disillusioned, feel like giving up maybe starting something else. I then go back through people's blogs, the training and it is so good the way that the community helps you. Reading the blog from Kyle really helped put things into perspective ( Blog ) again it reemphasized the long haul, not the short term gain.
You okay
So I'm back to enjoying this all again, even got a sale yesterday when I wasn't seeing much traffic. I think I need to put down some goals - targets to stick by, so that I don't keep going on a massive roller coaster of quit / stay / quit / stay. To be honest it's probably what we all do at some point but I need to remember, no one is laughing at us, rather cheering us on to do better.
Keep on, keeping on - you can and will succeed.

That is what happened to me the last time I was here at WA. I got into that quit/stay round and then had issues at home so, left for a while.
Now, I come back and things are going a lot better this round thank goodness. Just stick with it. It will happen. Its like watching for a pot of water to start boiling. You wait and wait and think it never will start, you look away for one second and its boiling
I remember seeing John McEnroe play when I was a kid, and he was in true form that day! There was much "OH you can NOT be serious!" and there was also some racquet abuse going on. The tournament was on grass courts and he was digging up the grass with his racquet because he just couldn't deal. It was thoroughly entertaining.
I think you are spot on. It doesn't happen right away. I am one of those people who is still waiting for the 'shift' to happen, but that's OK. I think we all need to continue working and building. This is a slow burner, not a quick winner. At least that's what I'm hoping!
And everyone wants you to succeed. Keep going.
