Two Important Questions to Ask Yourself Daily
If not you, who?
If not now, when?
I've made it a point to ask myself these questions each morning, so I can remember the deepest and most personal reasons why I'm doing this. Sometimes, with all the crap that may be going on around you, it's easy to succumb to negativity. You can do only so much to purge negative people from your life, as you'll find that you're probably related to at least one or two of them. It does help to put some distance between yourself and the ones that don't matter, but the rest of the time you'll have to learn to ignore them and focus on your mission.
Whatever your reasons are for being here and learning to master the world of affiliate marketing, there will be times when they are the only fuel you've got to run on. Make sure you're clear about what they are and truly convinced as to their importance. Deep down, you should KNOW why it has to be you and not someone else. Remember that while there are many people out there who know how to use the Internet to make money, what you're really selling is yourself and what you have to offer is unique.
It's your message, vision, knowledge, gifts, skills, heart, and soul that you are pouring into your work. The website is a vehicle through which you can share this with the outside world. It's your mark on the world and your legacy. THAT is why it has to be you. The fact that you found Wealthy Affiliate at the time you did in your life, and that you've read this far down already, should be enough to convince you that it has to be you and it has to be now.
Best wishes to all!

@MarkA1, great post! So much truth and insight! Sometimes I get discouraged because there's so much here I don't know or know how to do yet and I seem to be moving at the pace of a snail. But, I keep going, taking that one step I understand or following that one piece of advice and keep moving forward. I want what I'm doing to matter, to be of real value to others and I want it to be financially rewarding for me too. I don't ask myself those questions everyday but I should. In fact, I think I'll add them to my morning reflections right now. Very encouraging, thank you! :)
Hi, Crystal! Thank you, as well, for your input. I know what you mean about moving at a snail's pace, because my progress has been similarly slow. But we'll get there! What counts is doing it right and fortunately we have all the right information and guidance. Best wishes to you!
That's such a good point! We do have the right information & guidance and an incredible support community too. We will get there!
Those are some profound questions, Mark.
Those seem like simple questions, but we can easily overlook the power behind what appears simple.
As I read your post, I was brought back to that Sunday night, 18 months ago, when I was searching online for another way. I was watching a video about an online real estate business on my phone while scrolling through reviews on my laptop about that business.
That let me to a review, which pointed me to Wealthy Affiliate. It's amazing to think of it, I could have easily decided that the real estate business was not for me, and kept looking elsewhere. I had no idea my world would be forever changed, just through the simple act of clicking a CTA button!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mark.
Anytime! Thanks for your input! I heard about WA through someone else's review, as well. I had wanted to get into this for the longest time, but all I seemed to find were scattered youtube videos on how to set up and monetize websites, but several of them contradicted each other. WA was a godsend for me, if there ever was one. It's not a quick fix, like people are often used to. But it will get you there and if you put in the work, it can indeed be a life-changing experience.
