First Steps Down New Roads
Everyone has to start somewhere - none of us were born with the innate knowledge of how to run a successful business. And if you were not born in an age where the use of computers was commonplace, then the chances are that you have struggled just as much as I have in getting your online business off the ground.
You will need to educate yourself and you are fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time, to do just that - WA is one of the finest 'learning academies' you will ever come across. Just make sure to follow the lessons one at a time and step by step and you will be able to move forward at a pace you probably could not have imagined. Education is everything - never assume that you 'know it all' without firstly going over each lesson, just to confirm and reinforce what you already know.
And yes, I am aware that if you have been 'out of the loop', (when it comes to learning new things,) for some time, that can be quite a daunting prospect. It used to be said that it takes 21 days for new things (when done consistently,) to become a habit. That has now been proven to be incorrect - it can take anything between 18-254 days for something to become a habit, rather than a 'chore'. (http://jamesclear.com/new-habit) So do not berate yourself if you are still struggling after a month or more, this is entirely normal.
The secret is to keep on doing it until it does become a habit, and something you can do without over-thinking or becoming too stressed. Every step you take is a step closer to attaining your dreams, so never, ever give up. Practice makes perfect!
And I know that might take courage, especially if you are so far removed from your comfort zone that it could be in a different zip code! 'Faint heart never won fair lady' and all that - nothing that's worth having ever comes without work, effort and consistency. Have the courage of your convictions - ignore those who are negative and keep on pushing until you get to your goals.
Have a wonderfully productive week - make sure to reach out for help when you need to, and let me hear you 'roar'!
Ciao for now my lovelies,
