Six Weeks Here, What I've Learned

Well I haven't blogged here on WA yet so I thought I'd take a moment to do so. I've been a part of WA for six weeks now and wanted to share what I've learned so far.

When I first joined I had found this community by searching for how to make money online. I really had no clue what I was even looking for or if I'd find something legit. When I made the decision to actually give WA a try and go premium I still had a mindset of "making fast money". I think it's human nature to what to see quick results! My first page I chose a niche that I thought would be a money-maker.

And while I had some good ideas in the beginning I began to lose steam. I skipped through training videos, I kept getting ahead of myself instead of taking it slow and following the step. This mistake led me to feel more confused and frustrated. Then for about a week I abandoned the whole idea of ever succeeding and was going to cancel my membership.

After some time to really think I had a change of heart and realized that I was just going about it all the wrong way. There wasn't anything wrong with me, or anything wrong with WA. I thought of a niche that I had passion about, not just something I thought would make money. Suddenly the ideas started flowing and everything just "clicked". I started my trainings again and this time I follow them. No more jumping ahead, no more searching for that instant gratification. I set small goals everyday and I follow through with them. I no longer look at this as a way to make fast money. I see this now as a journey, as my own business, and from now on I'm treating it as so.

I haven't made any money yet but now I have a page that I've so excited about, and I'm full of motivation and excitement. I wish everyone here lots of success and happiness in their journey!
