Over the years I have had the privilege of working directly with 100,000’s of people, from all walks of life, of all ages and with an amazing vast and wide subset of skills. I love working with people, and I also love helping people accomplish things that they never thought was possible.

However, a large majority of people have an incredible amount of doubt when starting out though, in particular when learning something new. Because of this, I want to open up a discussion surrounding this doubt, because overcoming this and being able to free yourself from the constraints of being unsure of your abilities is going to speed up your path to success drastically.

This leads to me asking a few questions of you.

These should be YES or NO answers.

(1) Have you learned anything new this week, through your own efforts to learn?
(2) Are you confident in your own abilities when you are learning something new?
(3) Do you actually think that you can create a successful business online?

Did you answer NO to any of these? You can be completely honest with me here. If you answered NO to any of these, I want to know why you think you answered no.

What is the reason that you haven’t learned something new this week through your own initiative…or why do you lack confidence when learning…or why do you doubt the idea of you creating success online.

If you answer YES to all of these, you are in a great position to create a life long business within the online world, one full of constant education and evolution. If you answered NO to one or more of these, let’s discuss why and help solve these problems as a focused community here.

We are family here. We can solve ANY problems together. And I want to install the confidence in you that you should have in yourself. There is no reason you should doubt yourself and there is no reason you can't be uber successful within the online world.

I completed the Entrepreneur training and now on to the Bootcamp. I now have 2 websites. My Gardening Niche and my website to promote Wealthy Affiliate. Every once in a while I get some doubt if this will work or if I can be successful. I try to squash that thought immediately. I am excited to see where this takes me

I too started OEC and am now doing Bootcamp. I wish you all the best on your new journey.

Hi Kyle,

I restarted Affiliate Bootcamp today, after almost 4 months of break. I had stopped halfway earlier.
I started from the beginning and it has brought me thus far.

My answer to all the above questions is YES. I am COMPLETELY confident that I can build a fairly successful business online.

Why did I stop earlier? I was wondering if I would rank for a few articles that I had written. Basically, I wanted to wait and see what it looks like after they get indexed and (probably) ranked. Luckily they ranked for a few keywords, and that has made me understand that if I continue, I shall get better at keyword research and consequently rankings as well.

Just dropped in to express my feelings, and garner inspiration to build up a resolve to start producing better content. It sure does help when you and we members in the community push each other to be more, do more, and achieve more.

Regards,
Aparna

Hi, thank you for your notes, I really appreciate.

I also believe you are aware site maintenance is never finished, the recommendation is writing 2 - 3 posts a week a niche a site and that's for the foreseeable future. Consistency is key and Google loves consistency.

The aim is to try best we can keep updating quality original content and with consistency.

Hope you are well and doing great.

Aparna, I am like you.

I did OEC, went to Bootcamp, completed OEC and have now returned to Bootcamp to build my WA MMO site.

I think it is all about what works for you.
The most important thing is to keep moving forward.
Every day work on your business and of course, keep learning.

Wishing you the very best.

Cassi

Thank u Abie. I shall remember the advice.

Cassi, do u know that for some unknown reason, you are my biggest inspiration.
God bless u.
We have to meet in Vegas someday :)

You are very, very kind, Aparna.

I treasure your sentiments and look forward to our meeting in Vegas.
Speak it and it will happen. 🙂

Have a wonderful day.
Cassi

Thank you Aparna for your sincere thoughts, thank you. As I'm in the thresholds to stop bcs I haven't had any income or ranking or whatever to make my heart jump a bit. It is really demoralising.

Mrs, do not give up too soon.

Affiliate Marketing takes time.
From what I see, you have only been here for a couple of months.

Cassi

I know my dear CassieifTroy, I know. But life is not so easy and I'm, really trying. Do you have any advice for success?

🥳

Oh no Angel, I will never stop. I took a short break to see and understand results.
I have planned on dedicating 5 years to affiliate marketing. So I have loads of time ahead of me.
Anyways, I am convinced that if anyone else can make money online, so can I.
Lets not stop.
Keep going.
Give yourself an year or two at least.
From what I have seen, anyone who sticks it out for 2 years or more has started making money.
Love,
Aps

Ty Aps for your encouragement. It mean a lot.
Beside I have to take my mind of the bullying, discrimination &all; sort of sh..... thinks....and because most of all, Iwa t to be my own boss, my own noss. Like you and Everyone else here.
Yes. I love to do sometning for myself just. All my ljfe I've tried to satisfy and help others. I still have this in my blood.
But now is time for me, for us TO SHINE!
MUCH LOVE TO yoU AND MANY BLESSINGS
XOXXO

Lovely to hear that Angel. Do keep in touch.

Hello, I've trued to learn new things this week and I believe in my abilities to succeed online.
However, I've been having a motivational problem as I have websites in different niches, but the niche that makes money is not the niche of my passion. And the niche of my passion doesn't make me money. Of course, because it is too popular.
The niche of my passion is personal productivity and time boxing. Any advice?

Hi, I'd say keep updating original content with good choice of keywords and since it is your passion you would excel at it. do a whole review of site and check everything tip top shape in according to the training. The recommendation is 2 - 3 posts a week a niche a site.

dreamGirl
build a site. Get your feet wet get comfortable with the program, Learn how to "ride the bike" before you take on the HARLY.
Have some fun. When your ready and ABLE you will get all these niches and decisions sorted OUT. PICK ONE and work it.

All YES, but human as we are, we are not at our very best in every moment of our life. But the good thing here in WA is the supportive community, by reading the posts here, it brings inspirations and ignite the fire once more to go on.

Thank you WA family.

That is great to hear Maria!

Yes I do learn something new almost everyday....And it give you more interest in doing things because it will really build your confidence...
Sometimes Making mistakes is really good because you won't forget the answer .on it. You will learn so much on your mistakes..❤💥.And as I said you hardly forgot the answer...✡💥

That is great to hear...and mistakes are certainly one of the best ways to learn (although it doesn't feel like it at the time). I really look forward to working with you and seeing your progress as you do move forward!

1. Have I learned anything new this week, through my own efforts to learn?

Yes, I have learned a great deal about using Quora to help others at Wealthy Affiliate. Also, I am learning new things by reading other peoples blogs and tutorials, and if I'm not at work, I try to attend Jay's Live session. All so I am using search to find answers to questions, and I research on Google.

2. Am I confident in my own abilities when I am learning something new?

Yes, what has helped me build confidence in myself was doing the SEO certification first before commencing Boot Camp. I wasn't expecting my new site to be indexed so quickly, so really I am learning new things every day.

3. Do I actually think that I can create a successful business online?
So long as I continue to learn and grow, I can create a successful business online.

Wonderful 👏

Thank you so much!

1) Have you learned anything new this week, through your own efforts to learn?
YES. I know that I can apply the the data and techniques offered here. I have achieved some success.

(2) Are you confident in your own abilities when you are learning something new?
YES! I am confident as when I "TEST" them in the REAL WORLD I am getting results. Which keeps me in training and learning.

(3) Do you actually think that you can create a successful business online?

YES!! I REALLY DO. I have a GOOD REALITY that I am and CAN be successful with this industry and work. I may even MAKE some MONEY with this.

Awesome, love those answers Dave!

Kyle I did answer no to #2 and #3. Why #2 because I am second guessing myself and thinking I am not going to win. As for #3 I am all around the spectrum because I thought my website was good which I like my niche but for some reason I just think it might not do what I need it to do but actually I have to make it work from the content but sometimes I think too much should I make an article on products not a review???

I just all over. But I will succeed. Alicia

#2 is natural for a lot of folks, but if you don't think you are going to win, it lowers your odds of winning drastically. Lacking confidence (and for no reason, other than fearing the unknown) tends to be a recipe for failure. You are just as capable of me, or the next person, when it comes to creating a successful business.

Don't doubt yourself, it leads to inaction, which leads to the inability to PRODUCE. If you cannot product (ie, take action), that will lead to failure.

Thank you Kyle. Alicia

Hi everyone!
Sometimes I get that doubt in my head. Motivation has also sometimes dropped.

Now that I bought a new domain and have been building it until December 12, 2020, a few days now. It feels nice that I've had my blog post written and published every day.

One thing is that I don't find those my new website blogs very helpful, so there's a lot of doubt sometimes.

Okay, but now I have to find the keyword and write the next blog post.

My goal is 365 posts in one year, and I noticed that I have some doubts. Okay, but I am going to give all :)

Timo

Hi Timo,

You have my full support in your endeavours.
I know that once you put your mind to it, you will succeed at whatever you decide.

Take good care.

Cassi

This is a really late answer for you, Cassi.
Excellent encouragement and I appreciate it!! Excellent support!!

I've been working on my website, and I'm trying to find time to write here because, in one blog, I clearly take almost 10 hours. It's too slow for me.

The blog needs to be written in a couple of hours, that's how I think, and the blog needs to be helpful. Unfortunately, at the moment, my blog isn't helpful.

I've done SEO exercises, and I can see that SEO needs more than a keyword to the title and first paragraph.

I know I write to people, not search engines, but something's missing. Who can tell me why every day comes every day one Blog, then everything stops when I start learning more.

Every Blog post must be valuable, must be SEO okay. In four days, these four mails, the keyword in the title, the first paragraph's keyword.

I can't believe that search engines only require that, as I said, something is missing.

I'm better suited to write a longer Blog, which I spend several hours on. I want things to be shown on my blog. At the moment, I write only:)

I like the details when I guide the first visitor to the website :)

Are there any ideas on finding the time to write on both your own website and a Wealthy affiliate's blog?

I have to think, 10 hours one blog post. I have to improve very much!

All the best to you, Cassi!

Timo

Timo, do not lay too much attention to SEO.
Write for your audience, your visitor.

Nathaniell reminds us of that in this blog post: Write from your heart and show your passion when you do.
Take your time.
Aim for quality, not quantity.

Cassi

That's excellent advice, Cassi!
Just the quality, not the quantity, it's true.

I finished one blog yesterday when I got motivation from your WA blog post. It is now a 12.12-18.12 five blog posts.
Right now, I'm rewriting the WA review because I want it to be just written for visitors to my website.

I'm just going to put a keyword in the title and the first paragraph.
I'm learning SEO little by little.

I see that when I read WA blog posts, they get motivation all of a sudden.

However, WA blog posts aren't 24/7 smart to read because they get hooked then :)
I'm going to read that Nathanielli blog right now.
Thank you so much again for your wonderful advice!!

All the best to you today, as always!

Timo

You are always welcome, Timo.

Very happy tohelp.
Cassi
