Two months in: Level Two Complete!
Hey guys! I wanted to check in with you all and let you know how my progress is coming along. I have to say, two months in, level two COMPLETE! I will get real with you and tell you how my journey has been so far. So sit back and fasten your seat belt. We are in for a bumpy ride!
My Progress So Far.
I started Wealthy Affiliate on September 27th, 2018. I started off shooting off like a rocket, completing level 1 within a week. Next thing I knew, I was working on Level 2 at a slower pace and feeling burned out. Did I start off too fast? Did the culture shock finally set in, and I was over my head? We all feel that way at one point, and as long as we keep going forward, we can get out of that slump.
The Struggle Is Real!
I mentioned I became burned out. Starting out, you really are not sure of your audience. What will my audience be like? What do they want to know? Those are the kinds of questions that ran through my head as I started off lesson two. It was so much that I even had to take a break to gather my thoughts. I came back stronger, and actually made a post I'm proud of! That first post coming back helped me to know what my readers want to know, and I became aware of how I can help them out.
What started out as a cat collar niche became something else involving cats. I started helping others with their feline companion! From sharing tips to collar train your feline companion to actually searching for your new fur baby, I have helped people within the cat niche. This actually turned out to be better for me because instead of feeling I was at a dead end, I actually ended up finding something I can share!
If you feel like you're struggling, don't give up! Keep pushing ahead, and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. Finding that light happened to me, and it can happen for you too.
New Struggles Coming My Way.
I did not mention my other struggles. They deal with my personal life, which is why I did not mention it. There is one more struggle I will mention so I can get some insight and advice with this struggle.
I just started a new job yesterday, and I am already seeing I will be struggling to know how I can juggle my new job with being a wealthy affiliate. Along with my new job, I will be starting level three, not knowing what to expect to learn.
If anyone has any insight or advice, I would be open to listening to what you have to say. With that said, here I come level three!

Amanda,
Everyone learns at a different pace and the best thing I can tell
you is find a balance that you can handle and are happy with
this is not a marathon by any means.
Find a schedule that works for you - set your goals - do what
you can and if you miss and do not complete them as
planned then rewrite them and give yourself attainable expectations :)
Marley,
Thank you for your advice. You're right about setting goals. It's what I have been taught growing up: "How do you eat an elephant? One piece at a time." I just need to actually practice that thinking.
Thanks again!

Thank you for the smile, Amanda, I needed one
How to eat an elephant - one piece at a time (smiling)
Hello Amanda, it is always difficult to balance a new job with a new endeavour. The learning curve is really the hardest part, but with a little time management, not knowing what your new Job entails, makes it hard to suggest how to balance both.
Hello Harvey
This is really going to be a bumpy ride until I can figure out how to juggle my new job and being a wealthy affiliate. Time management is a must. Since my job is part time, I will be able to find some time. I'm just going to need to do as you said and use time management and make weekly goals.
Thanks for your advice!
