*Don'stop believin...Hold on to that feelin...* - Journey

(I wrote this blog post on a whim so there might be poor grammar, mispelling, yada yada)

When I joined Wealthy Affiliate back in February '18, with my birthday coming and going days ago, I thought to myself: What do you see yourself in 10 years? Do you really want your own business? Then it lead to other questions: What was the purpose when you decided to have your own online business? Why did you choose this niche? What was the purpose you set for yourself when you were setting up your own wesbite? Your blog post?

The reason why I was thinking like that was because I finally realized that I was getting older. It felt like my life was passing me by real quick. Then my thoughts led me to my online business.

All these questions came up while I was looking at my wesbite too.

When I started my wesbite, I wanted to do more than just my specific niche. I actually wanted to do multiple niches but it led me to being so distracted that I lost my exitement to write and even just be motivated to do anything on my site.

Fight the best you...

One of my favorite bloggers that I get emails from time to time wrote about "fighting the best you". He was referring to when you start your online business, you will get excited, happy, and ambitious. The best you was the one that motivated you to start this wesbite and kept pushing you through the night when you had work tomorrow (and you would regret not sleeping that night), and how you sacrificed your days to work on your laptop when you wanted to watch Father Brown on Netflix.

However, along the way, you lost your "best you". You stopped being happy and excited because it was tiresome and hard.

Even just writing a content was difficult, especially if it was about a subject or niche you sort of knew nothing about.

Your best you wanted you to be perfect, write awesome contents, and etc.

Nothing is wrong with having a great wesbite and wishing millions of viewers to come on your wesbite, buy your products, and you making unlimited passive income!

For me, I was hooked on this wesbite/blog thing (and I still am!). I got so excited that it led me to make choices that weren't very smart and not well thought of.

It's even leading me, right now, to delete my website and start from the beginning.

I mean the VERY beginning of finding a new niche and all that jazz.

Sometimes, I think the reason why I stopped writing was because of my niche. However, it was more than just my niche.

As much I was interested in my niche, I got sick and tired of writing about it.

So WA community, I am going to start over and take my time in understanding what I really want my new wesbite (which I have not started yet) to be, who I want my niche audience to be, and what I want to gain from myself, to the respect of my business.

and this time... I am going to take my time. BUT IT'S HARD!!!

I will be successful

i want to be successful.

I know I will be.

i want to make passive income!

I know I'll get there.

I won't work a 9-5 job.

I..will...get...there...soon.

It just takes faith, wisdom, and knowledge. As a christian, I believe God will pull me through this bit.

I think being in business, especially when you haven't been in one, really helps you understand yourself as a person, with your strength and your weaknesses.

I've learned both pretty quickly.

Every journey is a learning experience and honey, the experience is worth driving all night long for.
