Weekly Challenge: Set a Success Goal for Your Online Business!
Hey everyone,
It’s easy to get caught up in the challenges, setbacks, and obstacles that come with building an online business. But what if we shifted our focus? What if, instead of dwelling on some of the bumps in the road and focusing on our attention on that, we put all of our energy into the successes we are going to achieve?
That’s what this week’s challenge is all about. It is about setting a clear goal for a success you are going to achieve in the year ahead.
Success doesn’t just happen by accident. It happens when you define what you want, take action, and focus on what’s possible, instead of focusing on what is standing in your way.
How to Participate:
- Set Your Success Goal – Think about what you are going to accomplish in your online business over the next year. Be specific about what success looks like for you.
- Share Your Goal in the Comments – Tell us what success you are going to achieve, why it matters to you, and what steps you are going to take to make it happen.
- Engage with Others – Read through the comments and like the goals that inspire you. You can like up to 3 different entries.
Prizes!
The top 5 winners (based on the most likes) will receive 15,000 AI Credits ($75 value) to help fuel their success and move their business forward, and you can leverage these using the new AI Custom Templates (with full generative image integration).
Key Details:
- Open to all members: Starter, Premium, and Premium Plus+ members are welcome to participate.
- Challenge Dates: Starts Wednesday, March 5th 2025 and runs until Tuesday, March 11th 2025, when winners will be announced.
- Share your entry early to give yourself the best chance to gather likes!
Why This Challenge Matters.
Too many people get stuck focusing on the negatives, what isn’t working, what’s difficult, what’s holding them back. However, when you shift your mindset to focus on success you start seeing the vast amount of opportunities in front of you...instead of roadblocks.
The first step to success is defining it. The second step is believing in it. The third step is taking action to make it happen.
I can’t wait to read your success goals and see the incredible things you plan to achieve this year. Let’s make this a year of wins, progress, and success!

My goal is to earn £1,000 or more through affiliate marketing within the next year. To me, success means working online from home, giving me the freedom to enjoy life on my terms. Achieving this will greatly enhance my happiness and overall well-being. I'm fully committed to doing whatever it takes to reach my goals, knowing that discipline and persistence are the keys to success. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.
Awesome Robert, love your goals here and I look forward to seeing you achieve these and far beyond. You have everything you need here, and it sounds like you have the drive to get there.
I look forward to working with you! :)
This has really challenged me to rethink my priorities and what really matters to me.
Why am I here at WA?
What am I really spending my time on?
When I really think about it, I would have to say that I need to learn to say "NO" if I am going to create a successful online business. I will explain shortly.
What are my business goals for 2025?
To have my online business earning at least $2000 per month by the end of the year.
To achieve this I need to...
1. Complete the training (even if it is just one level per month)
2. Block time every week to spend on my business and not let my day job interfere like it has been (learning to say NO).
3. Learn to leverage AI to help me maximize my productivity in the time I have available.
4. Commit to writing a post here at WA every month to report on my progress (accountability)
Why is this goal important to me?
I have just under 3 years before I reach retirement age and I have nothing put aside for my retirement. there is no way that I want to be in a position where I need to work for another 10 years because I have no other options. My online business IS my other option. Add to this that I am looking after my widowed month-in-law and my current income does not cover all the needs. This needs to first supplement my current income and then replace it.
Do I need more reasons?
This year I will be graduating from motherhood and becoming a granny. There is a mindset shift happening and it has also made me reconsider my priorities. I definitely don't want to be stuck in a dead-end job when my grandchild is growing up and I want to have the time freedom to be able to spend with my family.
There is enough reason for me to want to make this a success and I just need to learn to say "NO!" when my day job encroaches into my personal time.
2025 is the year to make that happen!
Those are very motivating reasons to achieve your goal, Lesley,
You have my best wishes and encouragement to be successful.
I am totally new to this. 69 years old, grandfather, married 43 years. I am going head first into this venture. Understood all. My take only, with guidance and perseverance will accomplish my goals. My intention tomorrow 3/10/25 is get on board. Reading chats etc, presuming everyone above board. You and me will will come to realize small and major goals. Peace of mind--some cash--God--family--!
Thank you for this challenge, Kyle.
I created my website exactly a week ago and this has made me think about what I want to achieve by the end of 2025.
Inspired by chicchat, I have created a plan of what I need to do each month. If I follow that plan I will have achieved the following by the end of this year.
1) Completed the training and have my website set up as I want it - Thank you Eric Cantu :-)
2) Have learned more about levering AI help and followed more advanced training about promoting my website
3) Have at least 80 posts on my first website
4) Have been accepted by Amazon UK and Amazon US as an affiliate
5) Have opened a KDP Amazon account and have published my first 2 books
6) Have started a second website - not sure about this yet. I want to promote Wealthy Affiliate, but since I am not good at the technical side of things I may make this into a second niche site targeting people close to retirement or students. I will seek advice about this from Kyle, Carson, Eric, and anyone else willing to give me their view.
All being well, I should have started getting commissions. I have absolutely no control over this. All I can do is follow the plan and expect it to produce the desired results.
Why this is important to me:
1) Until we moved from a house to a bungalow last August because of my mobility issues - long story - I was teaching several private pupils and spending quite a lot of time preparing things for them. I now only have two left whom I teach online, so I have time to learn new things and apply them.
2) I want to prove to my husband, children, grandchildren and any referrals, that Wealthy Affiliate can provide all that is needed for a successful online business.
Sorry this got so long. Thank you, if you've read to the end.

Justin man, love your game plan you have laid out. You should print this out and work to make it happen, I know you are more than capable of this and far beyond. ;)
Success means everything in an incunter or in business.
For this case I do plan to build an online wealthy Affiliate Rwenzori state which will coverup the entire Congo Uganda region advocating for peace and stop the massacre of innocent Godly creatures like man.
In this context the world is in tears.
For the beheading of pregnant mothers, children, elderly, disabled.all these have no capacity to help themselves.
My success plan may not be about money but making all planets desirable to live in.
Building a new country the Rwenzori state restore the snow peak.
Making sure that all the hot springs remain a cultural nurturing.
Improve the climatic status of the great Rwenzori.
Online to be used by all government and non governmental organization as source of changes in corruption control.
Success can be achieved when you try your best, even if it doesn't lead to great results. If you have done your best, you should feel proud of your efforts.
Success is the right setting of specific goals.
Be realistic and specific when setting goals. Success does not come from setting abstract goals. If you know where you are heading, that in itself is a success, even if you don't end up reaching your planned destination.
My goal for the next year is to improve my English so that I can get to know the video lessons well and participate in all the challenges. I think one of my goals will be to learn this platform and learn the training
Dedicate at least 2 hours a day to improving my WA skills, implementing strategies and optimizing my online business.

Hi Kyle,
Thank you once again for this new weekly challenge.
My success goal is to have a sustainable value-adding online affiliate business.
I believe that, once the frame work is in place, with continuous learning to gain more knowledge, networking and drawing inspiration from the successes of the experts here on WA, other things being equal, money will come. (I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong).
As we all know, no business-profit oriented entity wants to be in business without making profit. However, I want, even if it's going to be minute at first and increase gradually, but consistent money. I believe that, this will add up to be tangible things in the long run.
In my opinion, contionuous gentle drizzle of rain is far better than a heavy downpour that stops all at once within a short period of time.
This is my humble submission.
Thank you,
Makinde
