The Road to Success is Paved with Failure
Road to Success is Paved with Failure
This is the first update for progress on how I am doing keeping up with all the tasks I laid out at the end of 2018.
I must admit the road is harder that I felt it was going to be but so far I am keeping on track with what I want to get accomplished for the month of January.
The goal for getting posts out for the week was 18 but I failed with only 14 finished and posted to the websites. There are another 2 setting in Site Content waiting to be edited and at least one more ready to be written.
In my defense, however, I sat through 6 and a half hours of video in order to do a review on this particular program and produced a 1500 word review on the one part of it today.
There is at least another review or possibly two to be written on the rest of this program it is that long and in order not to confuse anyone I need to break it down.
More videos need to be watched taking up even more time to complete the final review of the program and I have no idea how long that is going to be but they are very boring sad to say.
Considering it is only 7 pm here there is a good possibility I could get another review finished tonight on this program, and I just might try.
Producing Videos
Another good thing this week I did manage to make the video for my campaign sign up form and have it ready to promote WA on the new website that I am doing to promote WA.
Practiced for the next video for an upload to YouTube channel and want to have this ready and up this week coming but I did put posts on the channel in the discussion area like Jay showed us to do.
That will mean by the end of this week I should have at least 8 posts in the discussion area and 2 videos on my channel - oh and unless members from here are hitting my YouTube channel I have had 9 views as of yesterday.
Question to those members who might know this, can we upload videos into our content and put them on Pinterest and Facebook inside our posts there?
I was thinking that this might be a good idea and if I get a good response here on this update then this coming week I am going to give it a try.
Balance of Tasks
Boot camp is progressing as I finish each post therefore in Level 5 Lesson 9 - there are 4 more reviews to post and 4 more keyword rich posts along with 3 videos but 1 is going to be done this week!
Moving along nicely I think, the extra training that I located for promoting WA is much longer and I am still working through this first lesson on it so next update this week I will let you know how it is coming.
The mini tasks that I wanted to complete every day have all been finished with one exception and that is to read and respond on blog posts within WA and I missed doing this on Thursday.
I might not have made 20 blog posts on the other days but I did get to read and respond to some on every other day.
Checking site traffic I see it fluctuating some days I get a few visitors and other days none but I am sure this is adequate considering my niches high competition and I am still new.
The amazing part is no matter how much you miss being inside the community and seeing all the members on a daily basis, the ease at which you can complete tasks by concentrating on the written list is making things achievable.
Baby steps is the best way to go at everything here in WA and the longer I am working on this I am finding that it is applying to my life all around me. Not only am I able to not complete goals inside WA but also with doing things around the house.
In Closing
The title to this blog post maybe a little misleading but considering the failures that I am overcoming to reach the point of success here and in my life at home, this is not at all far from the truth of what has been going on with me.
Learning from our mistakes is what matters in moving forward improving ourselves and our businesses takes time and experience with that experience comes failures and successes now that I have seen what failures I am capable of I hope that turning things around will turn them into successes.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this update, and will give you another in a few days with I am hoping some very good progress.
Miss you WA family and friends sending love and (E-Hugs),
Susan

and I hope we will see some fruits in
this year 2019.
Cheers

Ingrid,
I know we will consistency is the key, I plan on
being very consistent this year and it is going
to be very hard but hard work is what it is all
about prior to being able to chill out.
Thank so much honey,
Susan
Like your attitude. Keep going. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. We're proud of you.
Cherryl,

Susan
You have been very busy. You are doing a great job Susan. Sorry, I don't know anything about video. Not there yet.
Mickey,
I was and still am a big amateur at video LOL
But going with the lessons - need three more
posted before I am finished with this lesson so
got to move on - not saying I like it or look forward
to them but I will not move forward until they are
checked off :)
Thank you so much for all the support I will keep
you all posted - oh I did manage to finish another
review post tonight Yeah for me!
Love ya and miss everyone,
Susie
Alright! On getting your post done.
I guess the thought of making a video scares me. I'm on level 4 oec concerning social media. That's scary enough to me. Lol
Sandy,
Congratulations, you come right along with
me I do not mind taking all my friends on the
road to success along at all.
Thank you, honey, bless you and we are going
to make 2019 a year to remember,
Susie
Dear Susie, I had a setback the last month or so. I am now recovering and trying to catch up.
Sandy
A good dose of failure pushes some people to great heights.
The important oart is that you are not a quitter.
My dear, you are a true gem in this community.
Your momentum towards success is inspirational.
Thank you Susie for being a great role model.
Blessings

Maxine,
Thank you, sweetie, I said I would post 3 times
a week keeping everyone updated this is my
first - not too bad for my starting week.
You always keep me inspired so you just keep
doing what you do girl :)
Love and bless you,
Susie
I'm envious! Here I am stressing about the fact that I put up a blog today that was to wait for a couple of days, and now I have to write one extra one. Sigh! It would be nice to have a whole bunch of them waiting for publication. Keep up the good work!
Fran,
With the way, I am trying to plan my day prior to going to
bed each night it is working out nice - I have even managed
to get a few things done around the house I have been
putting off :)
It only takes a few minutes and then all is good when you
have a good direction when you get up. Just a small
suggestion might help :)
Love you,
Susie (E-Hugs)
Susan,
If you are watching a video and it is taking too much time, turn the speed up to 1.25 or 1.5. You usually don't lose anything of the content, but you get through the video more quickly.
Ellen
Ellen,
Good point - I just wanted to make sure to get the whole
gist of this guy - but mostly it is bull, sorry to say!
Thanks for the great idea there is more to go ugh,
Susan
moving forward is what counts, you can only move the left foot forward than the right. Cant move any faster than that unless you have a third or forth foot...Good luck

Thanks for sharing your update Susan!
You are quite ambitious and energetic, it makes me tired just reading about it.
Since I’m only able to commit part time hours to WA I know it will take me twice as long to accomplish half as much but I’m ok with that.
I’m inspired by your achievements!
KyleAnn
KyleAnn,
Thank you, my friend, I do not feel ambitious or energetic
nothing else important for me to be doing. This keeps me
busy and out of trouble LOL
You are doing fine and I am working on multiple sites so
you are moving just as fast as I am :)
Thanks and bless you,
Susie
