Four Things I learned about Myself Since Joining WA
One: I give up too easily
Two: I'm a little impatient when it comes to making money online.
Three: I second guess myself so much that it slows down productivity.
Four: I struggle with allocating time and energy to be productive.
Now what do I plan to do with this new information that I learned about myself.
Just try to do better.
One-
I know I give up too easily on things, so I tried to set daily goals. Like work on another post, or just finish another lesson, practically things.
Two-
As far as being impatient with trying to make money online. My issues is, I'm so desperate for this to work that I put pressure on myself to get the results that I want. So when I don't get it I kind of crawl into a hole. I guess One and Two are tied together.
To fix it---I honestly don't know what to do. I'm sure WA community can offer some suggestion
Three-
Second guessing yourself is good to a certain point, but there are just somethings I wish I could just leap in and think about it later. I mainly do this when I am to write a post. I've learned that its best for me to "throw-up" on a page first. Then go back and clean it up so it can be something worth publishing.
But I'm still not where I want to be.
Four-
You would think that since I'm a SAHM, I would have more time and energy to do stuff, and in regard to a full-time worker I do. It's just that by time I put my son to sleep, sometimes I don't have the energy to do stuff. I only have the energy to take a nap too.
So what do y'all think?
I'm a being to hard on myself this early?
Do ya'll have suggestion on things I could do.

Hi Juanite
You are going to do well here - how do I know? Because you are introspective enough to understand that you have strengths and weaknesses - that is the start of learning to work within your limitations, develop your strengths further and either find a way around your weaknesses or learn how to turn them into strengths.
Think about building a brick and mortar business, how long would it take you just to find the premises, set up the offices or shop, recruit and train staff etc.? Building a business takes time, the online business world is no different. I don't see impatience as a weakness necessarily, I use my impatience to motivate myself to write another blog even when I am dead tired. Please don't limit yourself, you have everything it takes to create your online business - including the reasons, your family is just one!
Go for it! You can be a huge success if you choose to be!
Blessings

Gosh! I think you just described everything I've been struggling with lately! But, I think I'm working it out. I just couldn't think when I was trying to write something. And then I would give up. BUT! I started to journal - just write down the things I'd done during the day. It wasn't every day, but it was something to start out with. I realized I did a LOT during the day. I had a LOT on my mind and I needed to focus a little bit more on my goals. Like you, I had to start setting daily goals.
I actually got OneNote and that was where I started to journal. The more I learned about that little app the more I feel like I was getting more and more focused. I'm getting more goals that are practical for what I do during the day and the week. If all I have time for is half an hour to work on my website or get on WA, then I take that half hour and I do what I can.
I was a stay at home mom for a while and I know how there really isn't as much time as you think there is to work on your stuff. Really! Besides, you've got the most important job in the world right now. You're raising a little one. No worries. Focus on him and the rest will come. Take the little breaks you've got to work on your site and WA.
It may take a while to get it going, but don't give up. It will happen for you. Just keep plugging along. It will get there for you. :)
I use OneNote a lot too. It's one of my favorite digital journals.
Thanks for the encouragement.
The blog probbaly has your name all over it.
Don't worry too much though coz it happens to everybody at some time or another.
You reach out to the membership anytime you need help.
Enjoy your Thursday.

Maybe then you need to quit because this might not for you
still you have a son because this is not easy at all, it takes more energy from you then you actually think but if you don't have another choice you must continue to support your family,
Good luck,
This wonderful! You have done a self evaluation and have found solutions to make you a great affiliate marketer.
I think you are truck to success.
All the things you have said are relatable to members in this community. The most important thing you can do to help yourself is to keep a positive mindset, even when you aren't feeling so good about yourself. If you find yourself in a slump, watch some of Jay's live training. He has great webinars about writing content, keeping a writing schedule, how to set clearly defined goals, research, how to find your target audience, etc.
There are so many wonderful resources here at WA. Use them!
If you still can't get your groove on, ask the community. Many of us want to see you succeed and will be happy to help you.
Best of luck on your journey to success!
You are not alone in this problem, its what most people do when it comes to building an online business
You are focused on the outcome and not the process
Process = Add value to the people in your niche
Out come = Get paid for doing so
99% of building an online business is process
1% of building an online business is getting paid
You are focused on the 1% part and so its not working

Hi. It is hard wanting everything yesterday and realising it may takes longer than that. I have been through the same thought process . You are doing amazingly well. If you work on being more patient with things. It will all fall into place and success will make its way to you. Good luck and best wishes.
Oh wow! You just joined at the end of February? Then, yes, you are being WAY too hard on yourself.
If you're following the training and taking action on it, then you are doing GREAT!
You will learn more and more as time goes on. Things will get easier and easier.
I know what it's like to be a SAHM, and that is the toughest job there is. It's a BIG job. So, please be easy on yourself.
The money isn't going to come super fast. You have to be OK with that. What's the alternative if it doesn't come fast? I mean, time is still going to pass anyway, so why not work on this as it's passing by? Eventually everything will come together.
Once thing I've learned is that you can't be desperate for money. Because it causes hurry in the mind, and hurry causes confusion.
Let the money go for now so that you can think with ordered thoughts. That will help you be much more productive with your time, which will allow the money to come faster.
