Losing momentum
Fear is an unconscious motivator in my life. It had guided so many of my decisions and the outcome has led me to dead ends and quitting points. Living in fear is not really living, its existing and performing actions to satisfy that uncomfortable thought of what might happen. This is my existence. Making choices out of fear of consequences and fear of failure has never worked for me. I entered into this WA program with eyes wide open, excited, motivated and driven. I partook in the lessons, created 2 sites, made a blog or 2, asked a few questions, then I hit some road bumps. This is the point where most people quit I think. It's so easy to just quit here and just say, "screw it! this is BS." The desire to succeed is eminent, but my lack of experience and lack of money keep replaying in my mind. Fear of failing is holding me back. I have accomplished so much in my life, and right now is a low point. Ultimately, using this low point to generate something amazing is the goal. Here is a little snippet about my life, that's kind of interesting to give a little of a background into my story.
Born into an impoverished lifestyle in the favelas of Francisco Beltrao, Brazil, my early life was glum and sad. Fortunately, I was blessed, picked up, taken to an orphanage where I lived for 2 years. At the age of 7, I was adopted and brought to the United States and have had a great life here. I truly understand the love and mercy of God, and know he is responsible for everything I have accomplished and I continue to be blessed everyday. I graduated from Nursing School and became a nurse despite what many people thought and said. I had the drive and desire to prove the people who doubted me wrong and to become something great. As a nurse, I help others, and have a lot of compassion for people, but I still feel like there's more to this. I have helped so many people throughout my 10 years as a nurse but somehow I feel I am being held back to the possiblities of what else life has to offer. I want to give back and make others feel as blessed and thankful as I do.
I don't think I stumbled upon this program by accident, and my desire to succeed through wealthy affiliates is unmeasurable. Success to many people is determined by possessions and income. I desire more than that however. I want to be comfortable enough to be able to do the things necessary to enrich the lives of others. I don't want money to be my primary motivator through this experience but I'm not going to lie, I do want money too. My biggest goal is to create something great for others. I was so fortunate to be given the opportunity to come to this great country where anything is possible, and I want to give back to people.
I want to create an organization to facilitate and help potential families adopt children in need from Brazil. This is a huge undertaking that I am prepared to bring on. This project is in the works in my mind (I even have a name picked out) but I need the funds to accomplish it. I was hoping to generate funds through success on WA. Right now I'm stuck though and I'm at the point in my journey where I usually quit but I don't want to this time. I have my little website about painting, but I just can't seem to get passed this point. I keep adding and tweeking and adjusting, and changing but as for affiliate programs and rankings and getting people to my site, I am so in the dark. I don't want to give up but I feel literally stuck in this spot. Please give me some suggestions and ideas as to what I can do from here. I have not moved from this point in 2 weeks. My site offers adivice and educates people on how to paint really well. I also want to sell some of my paintings on my site if possible. Please help and thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
Best Wishes,
Luci

It is clear to me that you have many questions that need answer. So let me tell you where to go.
If you look to the left under Training, then click Training HQ. You can go through those videos and see what topic are there that can help you or point you in the right direction.
The other is Jay's Live chat that happens every Friday evening at 7pm. To find that information go to the left and go under Live events all of Jay's training's are there.
I hope this helps you. Be Blessed.
Great advice Cherry! I still need to catch up Jay's training, as it is live at 1am here in the Uk so I always miss it and forget to catch up!
I started at a similar time to you, so I understand. I hit a real block at the weekend. But my thoughts are that it is going to take a year to really see any results, and that my humble little website is a long term commitment.
I try to write a post every two days. My aim is to have 100 posts in 6 months. My posts include, reviews, best of's and articles that I think will really help my readers. My traffic from google is non existent at the moment, but I am getting a steady small amount of people from my social media sites. Have you set those up yet? I would advise going through the training step by step. As it will guide you to write posts, and set up social media, and how to write good quality content. Other than that it's hard work and time.
Your desire to help others is so strong, I am sure that will drive you to succeed. wishing you all the best
You're right! You didn't stumble upon this program. I hope you choose to lose your story and not your momentum. It's your choice. You can do this and you're never alone.
There is no reason to quit.
Building a successful online business takes TIME.
You might consider starting a second website and promote WA as the opportunity is there to build up good income and that could certainly help your charity work, but that takes time, too. A good 2 years should be committed. Its not going to happen overnight.

I think the best thing to do is stay persistent and absolutely refuse to have anything but unwavering determination. I am new at this myself, but I gathered very quickly that this can really take quite a while in a lot of cases, and that patience is an ultra-important part of the whole process.
Who knows, in time you may decide on another website altogether, but it will still always take bunches of persistence, Just keep working on it, and eventually you'll succeed. Best of luck to you.
