Great video Kyle,

I have had my site up for around 7 months now, (and am working on my second site) and I have made a little money but not a lot. I have had times where I wanted to give up.

I look at my website, look at all the work I have put into it, and I know from experience that giving up is simply not an option.

When I started my handmade business a few years ago, (not here at WA), it took me a long time (I am talking a few years) to finally become successful at it and this was due to finding someone who was great at advertising my website. If I knew then, what I know now from the amazing Wealthy Affiliate training, I would have found success much faster.

So, for those of you who are new to WA, there are many many successful people on our WA site so hang in there and keep on working. Ask all the questions you want. I have never asked a question that was not quickly answered. There is always someone here who will know the answer.

It may take you a few months or a year to see income but in the end, it is worth all the effort you can put into your business.

Thanks again, Kyle, for another highly inspirational video!

Mike

Hello Kyle, A very important aspect that you are presenting here, I would add "as usual."

In many cases I like to back to the basics. The main question, I think, is why am I getting into this kind of business?

Meaning, why does a person become a doctor, yes it brings in money. But is a person becoming a doctor to get money or help heal. The same for an engineer, or any other profession.

In all online trainings, including the wonderful training here at WA, the main advice given, is choose something that you love doing. Choose something, that you would love to help people with.

Once that is established, the focus becomes helping people. I think the more genuine the passion of contribution, the greater the chances for success, and the meter becomes the efficiency and professioncy of helping others.

If the meter is the money, and money alone. I think the chances for success are slim. Of course there are other industries that are directly related to money such as trading and investment. Even in those if you don't love those areas, and you are just there because other people are making money there, then the chances of success are not only slim, but self destruction can be one of the outcomes.

Kyle,

I like your attitude about giving yourself time to succeed.Most people give up before they have a chance to taste success. But by having the attitude that this is a journey and that true success takes time, we can actually take the pressure off of ourselves to have that immediate gratification and even allow ourselves to taste success along the way. Because as long as we are working toward our goals that itself is success.

Hey Kyle, thank you for the pep talk. My major problem is the shiny objects syndrome. Sometimes I don't even realize I am walking through that syndrome. Prayer always helps me to come back to reality when I've gotten off on a wrong trail and have moved away from what I should be doing.
There are more than enough distractions on this planet to fill the bucket list of every human being alive.
Thanks for calling attention to the constant rush trap we fall into that only causes frustration.

I too keep thinking when am I going to make my first sale so this is good to remind myself to be patient and keep focused on long term goals and than a short term sprint.
I’m currently at a bump in the road where I’m struggling to sign up for affiliate programs but I’m sure if I keep chiselling away I’ll get this sorted.
Either way I’m enjoying my journey of building my website out and learning as I continue on my marathon.
