2 BIG Mistakes You MUST Avoid!

This is kinda embarrassing....

I re-joined WA about 3 weeks ago (Dec '14).

Last time I was here, was back in 2007/2008...can't remember exactly.

What's embarrassing is I joined WA for a whole 2 years....WITHOUT creating naff-all success for myself.

Each night I'd get home from work and spend 1-2 hours going through the old forum, reading awesome posts from guys like Travis Sago....at the time he just resigned from his job.....what I wanted so badly for myself..

In those 2 years, I made a few review sites in the make money niche. Used PPC advertising with some limited successes.

My best effort was a review site which started out great - 5 sales the first day, then I went and changed the ad URL and killed the campaign. From there whatever I did, I wasn't able to replicate anything like the first days results.

From there it was a series of half-hearted attempts to learning a niche....usually ended up spending far too much time on the sites aesthetics, than what I should've been doing - creating valuable content.

From there, life got in the way.

6 years on, now I'm back.

A little older and a little wiser....but I can now see what I did wrong.

Mistake #1: Didn't ask for help.

For some crazy reason, I tried to go through life without asking for anyone's help.....doesn't work.

Mistake #2: Analysis Paralysis/Not taking enough action.

This is a BIG issue. I had to have all the steps laid out in front of me, so I knew what to do, one after the other.

This thinking was WRONG.

I SHOULD HAVE taken a small step forward, any step would do. I should have made small pieces of progress with what I knew best at the time.

Instead, I just froze and did nothing.

The really embarrassing part; I am still chasing the same dream. Which is to have my own business that generates enough cash flow to support my family, plus some.

I wasted 6-8 years because of these mistakes.

Please, please don't do as I did.

Now that I'm back, I've noticed this place is better than ever.

Analysis Paralysis has almost been eliminated thanks to the step by step course. This is awesome...it's a system for internet marketing success, brilliant!

Plus a supportive bunch of people to boot!

So far in 1 month I've achieved more than I did in 2 years.

I have my first site up and running, which is a big hobby of mine - Price Action trading: http://currencytradersguide.com/

Finally, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Especially once my first site is doing OK, I then want to concentrate on getting to Vegas, to hang out with some badass marketers ;)

Cheers,

Mark

Welcome back to WA

Great post mark. I know what you mean when you say you froze and did nothing. I'm guilty of that same thing in the past. No longer though....my new mantra is "progress not perfection". I was to worried about being perfect and having things work out exactly the way it should in a perfect world. When they didn't work out, I'd freeze. Nowadays, the setbacks don't bother me because every question I have is answered here at WA within minutes. Best of luck to you.

"Progress not Perfection"....I like that!

Thanks Jay, all the best to you too!
