WA Training - is it very step by step or more like drinking from a firehose?

A great question was asked in Facebook Messenger "is it very step by step or more like drinking from a fire hose?"

And here is my reply to the question:

"Hahaha! Depends on the pace you choose to travel at

I love that description, training can sometimes feel like the fire hose
. Probably best to slow down if that happens"

My response was clearly well-received because the lovely lady who asked me has subsequently signed up as a free member with WA, please help me welcome her to the community: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/simplysara22

WA Training Is Genius

Okay, so perhaps I am a little biased ... no scratch that ... WA training truly is genius!

Why do I say that?

Well, when I first joined WA I knew very little about building a website (not nothing at all, just a little), the important parts I knew nothing about ... certainly nothing about SEO and keywords!

The way the training is laid out within WA, Online Entrepreneur, or Affiliate Bootcamp - take your pick - is exceptional.

You learn to walk before you run ... unless you decide to amp up the volume and create the fire hose effect for yourself. That is not advisable at all.

Many of us have done it and many of us have seen our rear ends by trying to run too soon.

Just Follow the Training Step By Step

At each stage of the training, we get to learn something new. Not only to learn it but also to implement it. So the training is very hands-on (your hands, not Kyle s, not Carson s, not Jays and not your coaches ... though you will find the WA community to be extremely helpful and generous with knowledge.

We are also given breaks at different times in the training. This is the time I became unstuck and diverted my attention to the bright shiny objects out there.

Take it from me (and likely thousands of other WA members), this is not a wise strategy!

When you're given a long break, pay attention to the instruction during the break!

I wrote a WA blog during one of the breaks and expressed my distress at having a long break set out before me.

During some of the breaks, I may have missed the point (yes, that is me blushing!), but there were exciting tasks for me to complete to build my own online business ... like writing and publishing blog posts!

What did I do instead? I panicked and became distracted by many shiny objects ...

Trust me ... there are many more out there than any of us have time to count or allow ourselves to become distracted by!

It's a common mistake, one most of us do at one time or another (or repeatedly, yeah, some of us need to learn the same lesson more than once, lol!).

If you find yourself led astray this way, my advice is to drop it like the hot potato it is (and yes, it really, really, really is!) and get back to your training - or the tasks "suggested" during your training break.

You could do a combination of training and completing the tasks by watching some of the incredible training videos from Jay, our chief trainer, @magistudios, plus a myriad of other superb training sessions on every conceivable topic from fellow members!

These are available to us either via typing in keywords in the search bar or clicking on the Training tab on the top left-hand side of the screen.

Live Training Offered Within WA

Regardless of whether you are a Premium member or Premium Plus member, there is new live training offered to you every single week. If you, like me, are unable to make the training sessions live (because they often happen at 3 am my time), there is always the replay to watch at a time that works better for you.

As Premium members we have exceptional training at our fingertips, all we need is the discipline to watch it and implement what we learn. Everything we need to know about creating and scaling your online business is available to us.

I'm going to be really honest here, and not as an attempt to upsell anyone - the Premium Plus training certainly is next level!

As Premium Plus members we are spoiled out of our socks! Not only do we have access to everything the Premium members have, but we also have the opportunity to watch the following successful online business owners in action and learn from their mistakes and successes:

WA training is comprehensive. It offers a soup to nuts approach. Start here - go there, do thins, do that. For some this will be tedious, but it does work for most and it is effective.

We are all given a choice, to drink slowly and or turn the spigot and drink our fill.

Yes there is a lot of information and it can be overwhelming. WA allows us to drink at our own pace. Weather it be a sip or a gulp the Kool-aid tastes the same.

Hi Alex
That is such an interesting phrase, "soup to nuts", first time I've heard it. A quick look at google helped me understand why, it's an American English idiom, I studied and live in an environment where British English is more common.
Agreed, we have the choice to sip or gulp - the danger with gulping (which I have learned firsthand) is that a really important piece of the training can go down chunk size and not be as memorable as it should be. That's how it worked for me at least.
Thank you for stopping by, educating me on American English and sharing your experience.

You are most welcome.

I was born in the UK, but grew up in Canada, so yes, I am Americanized..... I agree sometimes it is easy to binge learn here in WA and then not remember what you need when you need it. I have taken to writing down summaries of the training and also time stamps for review.

It helps me to find it again easily.

Alex

Oh yes, you are indeed Americanised :-)

Here's a suggestion for you - how about creating a blog or training about how you keep track of the training and how you keep your summaries?

I am sure it will help all members.

It is a good idea. Thank you

Alex

That is indeed a fantastic question asked of you Louise... and I totally agree with your response!

All the tools we need to succeed are right here... we just have to use them in the right way for us as individuals!

Each online journey will be different, but if we follow the fundamentals and are consistently persistent with our work, then there is no reason why any of us can't succeed! :-)

Hey Jessie
We are given incredible opportunities as a result of finding WA. Not only are all the tools available to us but we get to meet and interact with entrepreneurs of all levels from all over the globe!
Truly amazing.
Thank you for weighing in with your valuable input.

Absolutely Louise! And you're very welcome!

I'd vote for the firehose.

Hahaha, Rosana! I guess someone has to, lol!
Love your response, thank you so much.

This is a great overview of WA trainings. I think there are lots of WAers, new and old, who can relate to the way you have and are interacting with the training..... especially me.

Hi Jim
Thank you so much.
It's amazing, isn't it? New and old, young and old, regardless of colour, background, country, or religion - we are all given an equal opportunity here in WA. So many reasons to love this place.
Blessings to you
