What Can I Say?

Seven Months Today

Today marks my 7th month anniversary with WA and I am experiencing all those doubts like Kyle warned us about when we started our journey here at WA.

I was doing great the whole month of January until the last week keeping up with the daily tasks that were set for 2019 in December.

Then things started to fall apart lost my motivation and started to procrastinate about doing what needed to be accomplished on a daily basis.

During the past couple of days I have been checking traffic to my websites and yes I know that I should only be concentrating on one but with my mind this would never work by now I would have thrown in the towel and quit.

So I took a couple of screenshots to share with you all and was wondering if you had any suggestions on moving forward?

As everyone can see I am not breaking any records here and feel that I am doing something incorrect!

Researching

Last week on my blog I shared about a publication Search Engine Land with this I have been doing research and reading many articles which of course is taking away from my productivity.

With the research has brought about many questions about doing things the right way or wrong way with my online business.

Not that anything being taught inside WA is not 100% solid believe me it is you are never going to get this type of training anywhere on the internet.

This has more to do with my personal writing and how I am doing my websites whether I am doing them correctly or incorrectly to accomplish what I have set out to do.

Helping others has always been one of the greatest rewards in my life and here at WA I have tried to help other members as much as possible.

Doing this has always been gratifying and gives me a purpose in my life of feeling needed, as it may do for others.

But in doing all this research what I am finding is there seems to be something missing that I am leaving out along the way at certain places and I want to start over.

It is like writing essays for a class and when you half-way through and decide that what you have done is not what you wanted to do at all rip it up and start over.

Just curious if I am the only member that feels this way?

Work and Hours Wasted

Spending all the time I possibly can within the WA community learning and helping others today seems like so much work and time wasted on things that I have done wrong.

This learning curve is huge to say the least and if I could start over I think that maybe two websites would have been better than me expanding so quickly.

One subject is never enough to keep my mind going but two may have been plenty to make things easier to manage.

Listening to the people who have been here before us and walked this long road are the ones that all of us need to rely on.

Because of this I am going to be cutting back on working on all the websites that I have up now or possibly combining them to make things easier to manage.

What I am asking from the members here is for information on how I should proceed with working toward the goals that so many others are working toward?

Admitting Failure Time

Yes, I am ready to throw up the white flag and admit as much as I have tried to be successful in doing all that I can do the time has come to throw up the flag in defeat.

That seriously feels great to get out of my system! I have written a blog post of how the road to success if paved with failure and I can honestly say that mine sure is!

Not that I did not give it my all that is what I have always done with anything that I ever get involved doing just part of my makeup mind, soul, and heart.

This has been a long and hard road to failure and so much work but guess what today makes me feel so relieved that I can now say STOP this roller coaster and leave me off.

Below is a screenshot of my writing stats so you can see that I am not kidding when I say I gave it my all - the 2 unpublished articles are writing in progress for 2 of the websites.

In Closing

I would like to take this opportunity to tell Kyle I am sorry for trying to do something that was highly suggested against by him.

Also, I apologize to other members who tried to tell me to slow down and not get in over my head because now I see what they were saying!

For those of you just beginning listen to the members who were here before us and especially to the man who created this community and gave us the opportunity to learn all this!

What I neglected to do has now set me back months on things that I could be accomplishing right now if only I had listened to all of them - especially Kyle!

Saying I am sorry to them only makes me feel better because they already knew what the outcome was going to be - failure!

Moving forward I will be working just as hard but cutting back to make sure I am listening to the people who know exactly what they are talking about and not trying to get ahead faster than what I am able to do.

Research and more research has gone into this decision just so you all know and I will be more patient in dealing with the success that is yet to come my way!

Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog today praying some of you that feel you can handle it like I did listen to these words it took courage for me to write them!

Bless you all and best wishes now for all of 2019 and the future,

Susan
