3 SWAG Months Down - Diary of a Super Wealthy Affiliate in Training

The Super Affiliate Group (SWAG) have been at it for three months now.

The next month's learning and activities is about to be released and like all other members of the group I'm excited to see what's next.

Kyle has asked us to do some self reflection about the last three months first by answering five questions.

Although we're discussing these in a separate SWAG thread I thought I'd cover them in a blog post too as the questions are perfect for anybody to use a reflection exercise, whether you're part of the group or not.

1) How did the first 3 months go?

Have I completed every task 100%? No. Have I made progress? For sure.

One thing I can definitely say, is I've achieved far more than I would ever have done had I not been part of the group. For this I am very grateful.

It's provided me with huge amount of insight, about what it takes to get the momentum going for an online business to take root.

It's no wonder I didn't succeed with previous attempts. The fact is I wasn't working fast enough or hard enough.

I also understand why so many people never get to experience success. They simply don't have an idea of what it takes to get there.

Unless you're able to put yourself under the pressure required to push yourself forward, you'll need some external assistance, like this mentoring group or a coach.

It has been tough and still is but after three months I know what it takes now so I am far more prepared to deal with the discomfort and not give up.

2) What accomplishments, achievements, and business related activities are you proud?

• My time management skills have improved
• I'm far more skilled at prioritizing than I used to be
• I'm far more comfortable being uncomfortable
• I've created and am developing a brand I'm loving more and more
• I've published blog posts 2-3 times a week most weeks
• I'm faster at planning, researching and scoping out blog posts to write
• My writing's improved
• I've made great progress in finding 'my voice'
• I'm happy with the design of my website and how it's developing in alignment with my brand
• I've started adding videos recently
• Visitors to my website are increasing each month
• My bounce rate is low
• Conversions are not flooding in but the trickle has started

3) Where did you waste time?

• Sometimes a little too much on design but that's because I enjoyed it
  
• The actual writing of posts - I am still too thorough i.e. slow!
• Resisting areas I'm not comfortable with i.e social media

4) What tasks did you got better with?

• Keyword and research
  
• Defining my audience
• Writing
• Creating images
• Giving and getting comments

5) What can you do better in the next 3 months?

• Embracing social media more
• Participating in Chat on WA - I'm still rubbish at this.
• Get faster at writing posts.

Never give up!
