My previous goal month was spaced over two months which made my hurt sometimes, remembering how long I had left to do stuff.

In order to make my life easier, I've reverted to a calendar month instead. July has approximately three weeks left so I've made my goals accordingly.

The previous goals

I accomplished all of my previous goals except for two:

  • Publish four new articles to my niche site
  • Focus on the training and content creation, allowing my rank to drop below 35 but stay within 200.

Why I failed these two goals


I don't have a lot of time to pursue the goals of the WA training, once I've got my kids to bed and taken care of any client work I've got on.

Over the last few weeks I spent so much time enjoying reading people's WA blogs, answering questions (both in Live Chat and the classroom forums) and saying hello to new members that I didn't leave myself much time to create my actual content.

I absolutely love the WA community but I realised that something's got to give. There just isn't enough time in my life to be as engaged as much as I want to in the WA community AND write enough content to find true success here.

The last two weeks have been so intense due to a client project deadline (which I'm proud to say I achieved) that I was forced to spend much less time in the WA community and the net result is that it's helped my addiction to the community, somewhat.

I even wrote and published a new article on my bootcamp website yesterday (and that felt great).

My aims for the new month

We're almost half-way through this month but there's still more or less three weeks left.

My plan is to be much more focused on creating content for my websites.

I'll still be dropping in and commenting on people's blogs, saying hello to new members and helping in Live Chat when I can but I am going to force myself to prioritize content creation first.

I feel a bit of a jerk even typing this but I have to make this choice or I'll never make that step to financial independence. Once I've achieved some measure of passive income, I'll be under a lot less pressure time wise and I can spend more time in the community again. :)

I now have three websites on the go:

  • One in the art niche
  • One in the health niche
  • One in the MMO (WA) niche

My goal for the next three weeks is simple. Publish three articles to each site. That's one per week for each website. If I'm on a roll for one of the site niches, I don't care if I write more than two for one of them.

The simple fact that I've come to accept is that if I don't create the content, I'm going to fail.

So July's goal is simple:

  • Create six pieces of content across my sites.

Great message I need to take a much closer look at my goals as well. Just cannot keep up with all the e-mail.

Great goals, Phil.

I know how tough it is and I realise I have to get tough with myself.

I think I will have to formulate so goals myself. I tend to drift a bit!

Using goals are my main method of keeping moving forwards here at WA. They've worked so far which is why I'm making sure I keep making them! :)

Good one, Phil.

You go. feel your pain. I so enjoy reading a everyone's blog and comments. TODAY has been a very SHORT WA day, had a doctor's appt., had errands to run, plus caring for my husband. No much time left - - - BUT like you I've made a decision to FINISH the training and "get with it". God bless and keep up the good work.

Thanks Esther!

Sometimes, to keep going on WA, we just have to make that commitment to keep going... but real life demands must come first.

Best wishes for your progress on the training!

Thanks for publishing your July goals Kettei, they are all excellent, and it's very motivating to see it!

Thanks Kaju! :)
