Knowledge is power
When I found WA I was in the middle of searching desperately for a job that would provide a livable income. I already had a small business going so additional self employment was a reasonable option for me as the job search was not panning out.
Desperation can really skew our judgement and view of reality.
I've always understood that WA provided an education that would prepare a person to become an online business person. Because my need was great I convinced myself that the results would come quickly.
I've asked a lot of questions and I've irritated at least a few people in my quest to understand what WA is to me. I understand that I don't really understand how some people seem to work it so easily while others claim to be ultra-focused but still income-less as far as their site goes. I understand that the tools are here. I understand that people succeed in online business. I understand It will not come quickly for me.
I wish I could pay $25 monthly and have access to less. Maybe limited hosting and lessons and blogs only. I'd happily do without the live chat for a lower monthly fee. Anyway, now that I know that this business will grow slowly I'll have to decide whether or not it's a good use of the time I have right now.
There is a season for everything and everything is not for every season.

Deborah, be an honest person and let the WA know what is your real problem. WA is the place where every resource has been provided. How much you can leverage it completely up to you.
There is evidence that some member got first sale in 3 weeks. How did he do that? If someone is unable to avail any opportunity that is not the problem with WA.
I am honest , I have been honest and I'm being honest. My real problem is that I didn't understand what I was getting myself into. I over-estimated what my WA experience would be. That's not to say that the education and opportunity here is lacking because it is not. It simply means I misunderstood some things about how online business starts.
The statements I've made are not complaints by any means but personal revelations I've chosen to share; points in my personal journey.
Hey Deborah I was looking at an older post on here from a couple of months ago and I seen where you had really positive things to say. You were even encouraging others and this was only 2 months ago. I am curious as to what happened in those 2 months?
To Scottdogg: I started to realize that I was approaching the WA opportunity from the wrong perspective. In my current business had income at the end of the first month and every month since then. I've mentioned previously that I allowed myself to believe I would see something coming in quicker than what was realistic. I thought my expectations were reasonable. When I started to question my expectations I did what I considered the next reasonable step, I began asking questions. Unfortunately the questions created some tension but I finally came to a better understanding of what I should expect from online business. My approach is now this: Work as hard as I possibly can for as long as I possibly can and expect nothing. That way if something positive does come about it will be a pleasant surprise.
Great post ! In a sense that is how I have been feeling lately. I've been on this site for the past 12 hours...
@JoshCates, I am really confused about your judgement. People spend years to learn new things. But I see you seems to be drawing a line in 12 hours.....

Deborah, there is nothing wrong with asking the tough hard questions. There is no "inappropriate" question, this is tough going for many of us who have limited time to spend in front of our screens, or who find it difficult to find the monthly subscription. Motivation is great but real facts and real money take a long time to accumulate for many of us.
