What's Holding You Back? Success Stories
.
Each person had something different about them that they could have easily let hold them back from achieving their success.But they didn't.
And they were able to go on and post some of the most inspiring success stories you could read on here.
Here are three reasons why people might end up quitting and three success stories that would make you think twice. Which one is holding you back?
This is too hard. I don't understand anything.
This was what JohnMiguel thought when he got here. He still did the training and implemented all the steps.
About a year after starting, he posted about his best day ever.

If you've new to something it's never going to make sense in the beginning. It might seem so tough to understand.
Wealthy Affiliate breaks down this barrier with the way the training is laid out. The courses are broken down into lessons that have easy tasks that you can check off as you complete them. The lessons have video and a discussion area where you can ask questions.
Want quick guidance? Jump on chat where you can always find someone to answer any questions you might have.
Asking questions was the key to me making progress with affiliate marketing and I've always encouraged people to do the same. No one here is going to be annoyed because you ask what you might think is a stupid question. There are no stupid questions - just questions you don't know the answers to yet.
Don't quit because you think the courses are too hard or you can't seem to understand what's going on.
You have to write!? Gaawd I hate writing!
This is another one that keep a lot of people back.
Writing isn't as hard as it looks. You've probably written long social media posts before, or emails, or complained in 500 words about how you hate writing.
The truth is that you can write. Although content doesn't have to be written online - you can make video - if you're going to have your own website then you would have to write.
I hated the fact that I had to write in the beginning but regularly post 1000+ word articles to my websites.
Wealthy Affiliate member DougBeney hated writing and equated it to "slaving away". However success was on his mind and he learned to love writing. Everyday now he wakes up eager to write some content on his website.
His profile is filled with success post after success post and even though he hated writing he has even written a Kindle book.
One of his latest posts?

Look at your goals and think about the reason why you decided take the plunge into affiliate marketing. Think it's worth developing an interest for writing?
You might be forfeiting your potential success if you let your disinterest for writing hold you back.
7 months in...nothing! Am I wasting my time?
Success doesn't happen overnight. Most of us know that. You're not guaranteed an income just because you're a member of Wealthy Affiliate.
You have to consistently apply the training and keep at it until you're successful. There are a lot of factors that determine when that time is.
Some people earn their first money in the first month. Some don't earn until their 6th month. Some take a year.
One thing is for sure. If you apply the training here at Wealthy Affiliate, you will make money. It's just a matter of time so if you're doing the training and haven't made anything yet, it's going to happen.
The people who quit after a month or two do not understand this. Or maybe the other things I mentioned above are holding them back.
For example, one member who goes by saco, didn't have any website traffic for 6-7 months. Not even a hit. He could have easily given up and deleted his website.
If he had done that he would have never been able to post this:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/saco/blog/14-000-i...
He's making an average of $4000 - $5000 per month now and grew his site from no traffic to 25000 - 30000 visitors per month.
Not seeing any result from your efforts after 2 months? Don't throw in the towel yet - if you're doing the training, it's going to happen.
The common thing about these members is that they believed that they could do it. They believed in the training and they put in consistent effort to realize their goals. And it happened for them.
What's holding you back? Are you thinking about quitting? Is your reason something other than what's mentioned here? If yes, I'm willing to bet that I can find a success story on here about someone who should have quit because of that same reason.

Thank you Jay! That was very inspiring! l am wondering how Saco finally got all that traffic! What ever it was it sure was successful!
From his post, I can deduce that he wrote a product review post, got some traffic, noticed that review posts were working well and did more of what was working - more review posts.
Hi Jay, thanks for introducing us John Miguel and Saco. We now have more guys to follow!
With regard to your post, my position is, "If they can do it, why can't we?"
Yep. I believe everyone who joins WA can do it. They have the interest and I think each one has a reason why they want to be successful.
