Two Months At WA - A reflection of my work so far.

So I'm now two months in to the day. Yaaaay Me! I've been going so hard that I think its a good time to take a step back and reflect on my progress and take a long hard look at the the things I've done and possibly what I can improve on. For those of you who don't know I came to WA with a little training already under my belt, I studied Computer science in college (it was a miserable time) but I did take away some valuable knowledge from it and already had 2 websites started when I joined WA. Because I had little success I knew there where lots of things missing from my knowledge base about building a successful web based business.

I'm now on course 6 lesson 9 of the bootcamp and I've tried hard to apply everything I've learned. The further along I get the more work there is to do. I'm the type of person that is never happy unless there is lots of work to do and utter chaos around. I contribute that to my self diagnosed ADD. I have to always have something new to do or I get tired of the subject quick. Because of this I own 4 websites. At the end of every work day there is still so much to do that I sometimes wonder how I'm ever going to get it done!

But I'm not complaining because as I said I'm weird and I like it that way. I do have one problem that I can't seem to wrap my brain around that I would like you guys feedback about. 3 of my sites are coming along nicely and I'm proud of the work I do on them, however the fourth is somewhat of a problem child. I can't seem to muster up the energy or the interest to do anything with it, other than ignore it. Its called Model train answers (not that I want you guys to visit because its down for construction at the moment.) When I purchased the domain name I had such high hopes for it. Me and my son love trains. We build them together and spend hours playing with them together. That's what gave me the idea to start the website in the first place. Unfortunately I have neglected it badly and don't have any clear vision for it or any willpower to get to work on it. I love my other sites so much I'm having a hard time thinking about this one. I even have a whole spreadsheet made up of other websites I would like to start and visions for them already mapped out including menu buttons and article ideas. I fully intend to act on those ideas once I've got my first three up and running well.

So I guess my question to you guys is what should I do with my train site? Should I let it go and give up on it? Should I find a way to force myself to work on it? (even though I have been avoiding it like the plague) I'm only happy when I have multiple projects up in the air but I have hit a major road block with this one. Have any of you guys had a domain that you though would work out great only to find you had no interest in working on it, or is that just my weirdness coming out again? I would appreciate any helpful ideas about this matter. Thanks!

You are making good progress well done keep up the good work

I agree with Mountain gold. Wish you the best of luck!

Congrats ...I wish I could buy some of that energy you have! WOW!

Glad to see you working hard on all your stuff. I would recommend narrowing your projects down to 1 or maybe 2 main websites that you focus your time on until they are fully up and running and turning a profit. You will get there much faster by not spreading yourself too thin. Then later on you could add in additional projects. Just my 3 cents here :) Keep grinding it out and moving forward and you will achieve your goals.

You are right! Unfortunately I was not joking about my short attention span. I really need to be able to write about a different topic every other day or I lose interest very fast. I know its weird and not at all productive but its my nature always has been. I've just learned to adapt to it and try to make it work for me. The three sites I'm currently working on only have two topics. Or rather I have two sites about the same topic and one completely different to change up with when I have writers block on the other two (which happens often for me)

The other projects I mentioned are on hold until the three sites I'm working on are running well. Thou I wish I knew what to do with the train site. I'm thinking I should just let it go. That makes me a little sad.

Thanks for your advise. I really appreciate it.

Merceadez, you have really come a long way all this while. Keep pushing!

Keep On Keeping On. You have what it takes to SUCCEED.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I appreciate it.
