No matter how difficult the shifting terrain and conditions may become, everything is figureoutable in life.

Success Life Coach Marie Forleo came up with this phrase and wrote the great book. She mentioned this is one of her recent podcasts.

Immediately I became captivated by her podcast, and this phrase purely rang true to me.

We are Amazing and Resourceful

We are amazing resourceful creatures, and in a pinch there is nothing we cannot figure out.

Open up the hood, check all the parts. Read the manual several times if you have to everyday this week, then put some elbow grease into it and the solutions will eventually come to you.

You will be surprised. Usually if we are willing to put our “skin in the game”, the solutions will come even more quickly.

Don’t know how to find the best affiliate programs in your niche?

Research on Google, or go to one of the affiliate networks such as Clickbank or Rakuten. Ask others “in the know.” Through trial and error, you will figure it out.

Trying to figure out how to decipher all of your stats in Google Analytics?

Go on your Google Analytics account and cross-reference data. You will figure it out.

Want to learn how to create a successful Shopify store?

Just open one, and start doing it. You will figure it out.

These are all things I have done on my own.

And this is how I’ve always run and currently is still how I get things done.

First Do The Training

Of course, I will always recommend you should first cover the great training on these topics provided here at Wealthy Affiliate in all its many different forms:

• a) the Online Entrepreneur Certification (OEC),
• b) the Affiliate Bootcamp (AB)
• c) Jay’s weekly video training
• d) SAC Challenge videos by Kyle
• e) Member posted training

Also find other non-WA information and training on the topic to fill in your knowledge gaps.

Ask a ton of questions directly to some of the awesome members here. You will get some excellent answers to help you fill-in those gaps.

And remember, the grey search bar on top of every WA page is your friend: Use It!

Don’t just take the training, run through it once, move on and forget it.

Take action ASAP.

Review the training countless times if you have to. Then let your own creativity fill in the blanks as you constantly apply the training.

Personally, when I start applying and ‘figuring out” solutions to something that’s completely new to me, I usually go back to review the training over and over as a supplemental tool.

However, without practical hands-on experience for the task at hand all will only be theory. Often theory that is meaningless without the practical application.

So definitely start doing something today.

My Everything is Figureoutable Experience

I would like to end this post with a true story.

I remember back in January 2011, I entered into this national singing contest that I initially had zero interest in doing. It was only due to my friends “egging me on constantly” that I ever entered into the contest.

Every week, there was a new round. First in smaller local venues, then moving to a larger ones. It started with 50-60 singers competing. Judges were present at every round, and singers were eliminated. The Top 5 or 6 moved on.

Somehow even though I started out with zero interest in competing, every week I would sing a song that I had chosen and kept advancing in the Top 6. This went on weekly for 6-7 rounds.

By the 5thRound, we were first told that winners of the local Regional competition (or the Final 4) would compete in the 8th Round at a large local venue in NYC for a chance to sing on National television on ABC.

Wow! All of a sudden I was psyched.

At this final regional competition, there would be competitors from other regions vying for their chance to appear on that National television show.

After beginning my journey with zero interest, all of a sudden I was pumped!

Well, I made it to the 8th round or the “Big Show” at Pulse NYC on May 21, 2011. Unfortunately, the timing could not be worse. I entered the “Big Show” with a bad cold, and was not singing at my best.

Still I thought I nailed a commanding performance. And the audience loved it.

But heartbreak would soon follow.

Despite my confidence in my performance, I was not chosen by the judges to appear on that National television show. The final 3 (out of 40 something competitors) were chosen and they were going.

It was the end of the road. After a long great run.

I lost.

But I still wouldn’t give up.

Now that I made it so far, I would not be denied.

My survival instinct immediately kicked in.

Within 2 days, I recorded a video of myself singing my best song and sent it directly to the contest organizers and the National TV show.

I wrote a very endearing yet factual letter pleading my case why I deserved to be on the National television show. It was obvious from my video recorded performance the Regional was bad timing, as I had a bad cold.

Others supported me, where one wrote a testimonial of how I worked so hard, and even entered contests in New Jersey.

On June 20, 2011 I received an email that I was selected as a “wildcard” to appear on the National television show.

That’s how I landed a spot on “Karaoke Battle USA” on ABC-TV.

An interview on “ABC Nightline” would soon follow.

Success! In the end, all of my efforts were rewarded.

What’s the lesson here?

You see, even when there appears to be no hope….

Everything is figure-out-able.

I hope you will find your solutions and figure out your way to Success!

Cheers,
