Should I Quit Wealthy Affiliate?
For the past few months,I've really been wondering if I should quit WA. In fact, I kept on asking myself what the heck I had gotten myself into. I have a friend called Kyle and I found myself disliking his name because it reminded of our Kyle here in WA! (Sorry Kyle, nothing personal! :) To be honest, I haven't made much through my blog. I have seen other people within the community posting about their success online - honestly,this made me feel sorry for myself instead of feeling encouraged (and I hate feeling sorry for myself!) I felt like I was failing!
Then, I remembered,when I started going to the gym in order to lose weight about a year ago and get healthy, it took quite a bit of time before I started losing weight and seeing results! I called my trainer enough times to tell him that I was done-that all those burpees were not working. That I was walking funny after leg day for nothing! He told me,"Maria,please be patient,keep on training and eating right and you will get there. No one said it will be easy but consistency and persistence pays!" I remember I told him something that I can't repeat in this forum! The same trainer I accidentally kicked his "you know what" when we were doing Muay Thai - even then he didn't quit on me! :)
Guess what? Slowly my body started changing and people started noticing that I was losing weight! I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember! I have actually lost 11 kgs in a year and I feel so good about it ! Now back to WA-I can't afford to quit. Quitting isn't an option. Will keep on trying till I get it right. If others are doing it,why not me? I believe it can be done and I will do it. I actually wrote to Kyle and told him that I was going to quit and he was really kind and encouraging. So How can I quit when I have other people rooting for me? NO, I WILL NOT!
I will apply the same discipline that I have developed in getting healthy to my work and see what happens - CONSISTENCY AND PERSISTENCE! No one said that this will be easy,but nothing in life ever is (just ask my poor trainer who is simply awesome and very patient !) If you are on the verge of giving up, just look at all the challenges that you have overcome in your life and see this as just a hurdle that you can overcome. Please join me and the other wonderful people in this community as we try to figure this out.
P/S I'm back to liking the name Kyle! :)
Thanks for dropping by!

Aloha Maria!,
I appreciate your bold honesty. I find myself tumbling those quitting feelings too. But I am determined to conquer those adversaries that think their gonna pull me under. I have not accomplished much yet, but I'm keeping the faith it will happen soon!! I do delieve in WA! I do believe in WA!!!:)
I'm a slow achiever too - yet I've put so much into it that it seems crazy to quit. Best wishes!
Thanks Lynn. I must say you have been pretty supportive;thanks for everything. Rooting for you too. I know we chose the same niche.
Just read your profile-nice! I enjoy working out so much nowadays that I think it's turning into an addiction! :)

Hey Maria, I think we all go through those feelings of wanting to quit. I was doing some keyword research and came across a keyword that with a little work thought I could use, which has plenty of traffic and very low qsr, and came across your site using the same keyword. Can I ask you how many posts you have on your site? I have recently started at WA and I give myself between 6-12 months before I see any rewards. I can devote 12 hours a day and many do not have that freedom to work on their business.
Cheers, Mick
