Complicated versus Determination
I browsed on the lesson about Email Marketing, Creating an Email List and Autoresponders. Why do I think it is going to be pretty complicated? Why am I beginning to feel that I might lack the determination to do it. Why do I think that online business is such a torture?
I feel like I am not me anymore, or that I have become very little of me. I sleep late, I lose track of time, I shorten my meals to rush to my pc, sometimes I don't know what day of the week it is. And all these for my desire to become an online marketer. It seems like a long winding road. When and where do we get to meet MR. SUCCESS?
I need some inspiration. I need more motivation. I need to see that what I am doing right now, all the hard work that I do will lead to something good, something better. Because 6 months or 1 year of work like this without any signs of accomplishment or achievement, I am afraid that my dreams will just deteriorate.
I need to know that what I am doing is right. I need to know that I am not crazy staying up so late at night doing contents and working on my website. I guess, I need to feel some assurance that I am going the right direction.
Oh well, its all " I need, I have to, I am afraid, I am worried, I give up, I don't want to do this anymore". I guess I am just exhausted and maybe saturated for the day. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better.
Sorry guys if I sound like I am whining......I am whining...that's me. Well, that is "scape goat mechnism". So I am done for today and tomorrow is another day. I hope that tomorrow will bring me the light that i need and I hope that tomorrow will be a better perspective for me.
So goodnight guys......I mean good morning!!!

Hi Rebecca, the next day has come and has now gone since you posted this...I sincerely hope that you are feeling in better spirits :)
What you are going through right now is shared by everyone who has ever embarked on this journey, myself included and anyone who tells you differently is frankly lying to you.
Lets get something straight right away. If you follow the plan, educate yourself with the necessary skills and work consistently towards your goals you will get there. It may take you 3 months, 6 months a year, or longer...there is no definitive time scale as we are all individuals and have different kinds of businesses and personal goals. The key is to understand that Rome wasn't built in a day.
It's really important to take back control of your daily routine. Set yourself a daily schedule and establish some boundaries...one of which is that you must be in bed by a sensible time. Accept that what you don't get done today will simply be carried over to be completed tomorrow.
I find it important to set myself intermediate goals..which help me stay focused and on track and which give me a sense of measurable achievement.
The wonderful thing about this community is that we've got each others backs..use it to your advantage. When you are down..stop and lean on it and when you are flying...give a little back.
Little forward steps performed daily will get you where it is you want to go. To your success Rebecca!
I hear you, Isabella, I have similar experience but I believe if I keep at it then there will be light at the end of the tunnel :)

If you have gotten this far (and, of course, you have) you can implement an email management system and make it work!
Hi, Isabella, I hear what you are saying. I think we are on about the same schedule. I have those days, too, but I turn to this community, read posts etc. and my anxiety and so on subside. I certainly can't be your mentor but I can be your "colleague" on the same journey. Keep in touch. Katherine
Hello, Rebecca. I hope that you are feeling well right now and I wish you strength to let go of all the anxiety. I looked at your profile and I saw that you have been two months with us over here in WA and that you have reached module 5. So you are doing very well.
Sometimes it is good to have a mentor or a coach to help you through the lessons but if you don't have a mentor you have to ask, seek and persist in asking and seeking for the right info.
So don't give up and let go of all the anxiety.
Nelson.
I find that roadblocks are removed when I sleep on it. Best of luck and today will be a better day. Jay
Hey Isabella 4198, there are times when success tests our patience.
The sweetest songs are the ones that tell our saddest thoughts.
Anxiety, worry, nervousness and hardships normally precede for a big thing to happen,
You are in the right direction. So worry not, because Mother Nature isn't biased to anyone. She supplies according to our own investment of hard work.
Keep up the good fight. Don't look back.
Oh, I feel for you, I really do. But you need to look after yourself first. Eat well, get enough sleep and stop stressing about things. There is a lot to learn but you need to consider this a marathon, not a sprint.
Take your time learning one aspect before moving onto something else. Believe me, I've had a crappy week myself with nothing going right, worrying about finances, not making sales etc. But I keep plodding along.
Perhaps write a list the night before with just 3 things you want to accomplish for the next day, and don't stray or get distracted. If 3 is too many, focus on just one thing.
Sleep well :)

I love your honesty and your willingness to share where you feel discouraged. To be vulnerable means that you trust. Naturally I hope that you gain the reward of reinforcement for your work; I cannot say that it will be there as I have not seen it, yet -- at least not in terms of any financial gain. And that is a part of what all of us here on WA seek. I urge you to get feedback, to find out how others who are earning are doing so, and to -- once again -- do what those who are succeeding where you want to succeed are doing.
Bob
Thanks Bob, I will bear that in mind.
