Disaster! It's All Kyle & Jay's Fault . Well Mostly Jay
My mind has been in quite a spin lately as I consider taking my business in a whole new direction. So why is this a disaster and why is it Kyle and Jay's fault?
I have been mulling over and then setting aside this major decision for quite some months now. Wondering if I truly have what it takes. I've tried to push down the thoughts. To quell the rising excitement mixed with a good dose of anxiety as I sway between action and indecision.
Why A Disaster?
If I jump and go with my new vision it will probably sound the death nell for my two
existing sites.
They will probably sit there unloved and stagnating with no new content until they fade into oblivion ... which is kind of sad to me considering the amount of work I have put into them over the past 15 months.
Plus I will basically be starting again from scratch. Building a whole new site, all new content and trying to get established again with Google and on social media.
BUT as people do, I feel I have grown and changed since I first joined WA back in Feb 2018.
And That's Why It's Kyle & Jay's Fault!
The wonderful training which is provided here, through the Certification Training & Bootcamp coupled with Jay's weekly live webinars has caused me to grow and re-evaluate what I have to offer the world.
The one on one mentoring I have received from Jay has not only been immensely helpful in my journey but it has inspired me to try to offer more value also.
You see I've decided when I grow up I want to be just like Jay.
Coaching - A New Direction
My vision is to create training and a simplified path to online success specifically for working women. Using task based training like we receive here at WA so busy women can cut to the chase and be guided step by step to build a successful online marketing business.
I want to provide so much value that my tribe consider me their mentor not just their coach. I want to offer my skills, knowledge and experiences freely and fully as Kyle and Jay have done for me and continue to do for all of us here in the WA community.
So there you have it, the decision has been made.
I don't feel like my hard work over the past 15 months has been wasted, it has been a learning curve to set me on the current path.
I look forward to providing immense value here within the WA community and outside as I build my new coaching business and if I grow to be half the coach and mentor Jay is I will have fulfilled my mission.
What traits and skills do you think make for a great coach? Do you have a mentor? Who has been the greatest influence on your business growth so far?

I have two sites in the background now for two years and one here in WA that I working with.
Tom.
Hey Tom I was so certain when I started that my chosen niche would be what I started and finished on ... lol how wrong I was.
But it's all good, every site has something to teach us and hopefully each one gets just that little bit better (and more profitable) the more we learn.
I believe that no experience is ever wasted if we learn and grow from that experience. Good luck!!
Yes indeed Rebecca, no time learning and growing is ever wasted and I do not regret one minute of my journey thus far.
Hi Heidi, wow that's a big move. Can you repurpose your Rat Race Escape website? Or must you start a new website for your coaching?
I don't think I can re-purpose the Rat Race site, I have a new vision for the coaching site and it just won't jell.
There are a few select blogs I would have liked to be able to put on the new site but I figure I'll just have to re-write them if I end up needing that content.
Heidi,I commend you making changes like this. As I have gone through life, "many, many years", I have changed direction and it proved to be rewarding in many different ways.
Having a renewed purpose is fantastic, and surely with your ambition, drive and now online knowledge, will do very well!
Stop in and say hi. We would love to know how you are doing.
Take care,
Bill
You are so right Bill this feeling of having a renewed purpose is simply wonderful. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's my life's mission just yet but I sure am happy about the direction it's taking.
Thank you for your lovely comments, most appreciated.
Heidi,
I do applaud you and I fully encourage and support your decision.
In varying degrees, when one such as you having benefited from all of the training WA has to offer here, there comes a time when, at least this is how I feel personally, it is almost a mission to bring that same knowledge base to others by creating training or coaching.
Most often, people are excited to start a new program (remember the countless New Year's resolutions?0 and then get the products or digital products and just keep them unopened neatly near their desk?
That is why the failure rate is so high because that drill sergeant like coach or trainer is not in the picture and there is no self motivation in sight, nor there will ever be, as that well intended project fades into obscurity unachieved.
So I am truly seeing you in that role and in the massive reach and good you can bring to countless people.
Some may say that such a role is a crowded market but I disagree. With millions slowly awakening to affiliate marketing who can ever train and coach them all effectively and ethically?
Wish you great success in that endeavor and I too, although not at your skill level or rate of success, will consider that path as well. Soon.
Blessings!
Thank you Gabriel your words inspire me to be the very best I can be and I truly believe we can all help to produce ethical affiliate marketers, who not only improve the world, but crush it financially as well.
Looking forward to having you on board when the time comes and you feel coaching is right for you also.
Hi Heidi
What a great mission to begin and I love coaching and have been doing this for a long time now and it never gets stale.
I wish you an awesome new journey and you will be amazing, I just know this
Work well my friend
Vicki
Thanks Vicki, I am building a clearer idea of how I want to approach this as the days go by.
It's brillaint to hear you say it never gets stale. I am so excited to be able to help people in a meaningful way, maybe even change a few lives - how wonderful would that be :)
That is so good Heidi.. I made the same decisison when the S.A.C. stsrted. My old website is not dead by is definitely not getting a lot of love at the moment.
Wishing you luck but with a clear focus and resolve like that you will smash it!
Paul
Thanks Paul, I am starting to consider the existing two sites as a training ground and if they do fall into obscurity then that's simply the price of progress :)
Who knows maybe these new sites are that something better and will eclipse what went before them.
I love the clever title of your post. This is what brought me here to see what the hell is Kyle's and Jay's and Carson's fault. And you handled it clverly.
Thanks for the great post. I learnt a thing or two from it.
Thank you Akoli glad you took the time to have a read and that you enjoyed it. My best wishes to you on your business.

I have been going solo and beating myself up trying to master building a website. I found out that there are many connected tools that must be invested in, in order to hopefully get the site running. I can already see that, just like you, I must start from ground zero. Wealthy Affiliate appears to have an "all inclusive" package and I'm gonna take the plunge. Hopefully this time I will do it right. Thanks for your insight.
There is absolutely everything you need right here Ricky, without a doubt and the step by step training leads you to all the knowledge logically.
If you feel like you need any clarification at any time, or you need a gentle push in the right direction or just a chat and a second pair of eyes drop me a message I am happy to help.
Best wishes on your journey.
