Getting Back on Track
I have gotten off track, more like derailed, lol, so am back on again.
I am reviewing and/or redoing some of the lessons, as I have gotten myself lost somewhere along the way of taking the Affiliate Bootcamp. I seem to keep making things complicated when they are actually not. The information and terms are just new to me. Lately, I feel really overwhelmed. And sometimes it feels like I walked into a community of MENSA students And there is a TON of information here! :P-seriously-everyone here is very knowledgeable. But that is the best place to be and to learn, right? I am thankful to be here.
This situation reminds of when I would take my 3 young sons to the library often. We would all check out some books. But not me, I would try to check out half the library. I would be carrying a stack of books, and I am not kidding! My kids would say things like, "Come on mom, just check out some. You have way too many." I could not make up mind as to what books I wanted to read first, so I just chose all of them, lol! I think that is what I was doing with my training here too. Trying to gobble up all the information like it was candy or something. Too fast. And I love the creating part of the process, the making of a website and how it all fits together. I had no idea I would have so much fun with that.
I must admit that once or twice, the little thought of "Maybe this business is not cut out for me, and I should try something else," hit my brain. But I said "No, I am going to stick with this. I will do this. And I will see where I am on June 27th 2014. (I signed up June 27th, 20013)There is no way to fail if I don't give up, and if I give this time to work." Dedication, determination and being driven helps. And being a little stubborn. (haha)
Sometimes it helps to share my thoughts, so thanks for listening. I am back to work :)

Hi Jen, I saw your name - a thank you - to my blog " Well I finally have it, I think!", so I came to find out a little more. Like the above article - some of the same sentiment as mine. I was feeling overwhelmed myself. Now that I have glanced at your profile and this blog, I will be pressing that button that says Follow. All the best

Hi Jen,some days it seems like it will always be cloudy & dark,but when the sun does eventually shine,it seems brighter than before.Don't give up.Good luck!Lydia.
Jenna7, with three kids, I'm sure you remember how things were when each one started walking. Did they simply decide one day to walk and then start walking flawlessly? No! They had many setbacks. Many falls. Many losses of balance. However, probably not one of them went back to crawling again. Why was that? Because they could see and understand that there was a better way.
Working your WA program is a lot like that too. There will be some days when it's two steps forward and three back. You must accept that as a consequence of your struggle to achieve. But, just like your three sons, success is assured if you don't give up.
Hi Joshua, that is an awesome reply, and so true. Thanks for that. :)
I wrote a short piece on my site about not giving up and how babies crawl before they walk, and they fall down, but get up over and over until they are walking.
I agree, WA is like that too. I am having a difficult time lately, but am determined. If I keep putting in the effort and never give up, it has to work right?! Sometimes I need to reassure myself, lol.
And the journey to achieving your goals is kind of fun too, if that makes any sense. After I meet some challenges here, then I will have to create some new ones-that is cool to think about too.
Thank you again for replying to this. Have a great week!
Yes it can sometimes be beneficial to share what you're thinking. It just gets it out instead of keeping it bottled in. I've had to review quite a few lessons, whilst others appear to be ploughing through the course. I'm not doing the bootcamp for the moment, but my own niche. You can't go non stop, flat out all the time. It's harder when you are on your own, and you've got children and a home to take care of. You rarely get time to yourself - unless you burn the midnight oil. Sometimes it is good to tune out a little and take a breather. I'd to do this lately as the going to bed at midnight and getting up early were starting to take a toll on me. Know you are not alone, and everything you do IS a step in the right direction. Best wishes Jenna and I'm sending you "peace and calm" vibes :)
AnnieB, thank you so much or your encouragement and peaceful/calm vibes. I appreciate that! And I know what you mean about the mom/house/etc thing-I am trying to balance it all like everyone else. :)
I wanted to mention that I really like your blogs. I was not familiar with the ""Eat your frog," phrase, but I like that! And I love your blog about your thoughts become reality. I use visualization a lot too-have you done that?
Thanks for your reply.
Sure do Jenna. I started about 8 months ago. Before that I always thought what a load of crud. Now I have a basic Certificate of the Law of Attraction, and I do visualise every day. I've had my stress for the day already and the binaural calming music has been played to calm me down lol.

You were not kidding Jenna there's a lot of information here… And sometimes I find myself getting distracted by other material that I come across on the site I'm like you I want to gobble up everything at one time! But then I feel like I over ate smile
Yes, there is is, lol.
I like how you put that, it's like overeating haha.
Let me know if I can ever help you with anything, and thanks for the follow back. :)
