Going Through the Training and Trying to Remain Positive
Hey Guys, I just finished module 10 of the training. It's been a long road, 22 posts later, some experiencing adding affiliate promotions into my site, using analytics and writing for target keywords, and I feel all but defeated in my pursuit of creating content that people will love.
Why is it that I get down on myself and don't believe I am offering any new, exciting, refreshing and quality content on my site? I really sometimes feel as though I am just a huge rip-off; a fraud that steals ideas from others and offers nothing re-invented to my would-be audience.
But I just wrote an article on this - remaining focused on the process. Trusting the process. That's what we're all here for, right?
I mean, you don't have to be positive 100% of the time, we're only human. And it's a part of being human - the ups and downs of our emotions.
So as long as we're trusting the process, doing what the training tells us to do, asking questions when needed, offering help to those when they're in need and we know the answers, and just following through on everything we learn, we should begin to see results, regardless of our mood-swings and up-and-down emotions.
Show up, do the work, and hope for the best. Make it happen.
Today I am feeling up and down, more down, but in the WA process I trust and if we just stay at it for 1, 2, 3 years who knows what'll happen.
As long as we show up, put in the work, why wouldn't it?

Wow Mike..I feel the same way!!! This has been an up and down day for me as well. I don't like that feeling very much.
I have the same feelings of inadequacy, defeat, poor me, going to quit, etc., a lot when I finish a lesson or come up against something I don't know. Maybe it is just human nature to feel this way...what do you think??
It may also be the concept of pushing ourselves as hard as we push, when in fact we don't have to push at all. This is a platform where you can, and are encouraged to work at your own pace. Too fully understand what you are studying before moving on. However, by nature we are programmed to push.
I feel better just knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. I'm sorry that you go through this, but at least we can go through this together and with the community. It's nice to know that people here have your back, as you reminded me yesterday.
I hope that the week ahead is going to be a great one for you. Talk to soon...

Michael. I am retaking the beginning of the training where I left off at the end of lesson 2 two years ago. It's time to get restructured
Hi Michael,
I think you've just expressed what just about everyone goes through, particularly when embarking on something as overwhelming as starting one's own online business.
Human emotions are just part of who we are - as you so rightly alluded to - and so if fear and anxiety were no longer there, then perhaps excitement and exhilaration would be absent too?
You said it yourself - trust the process.
Great post!
Great answer, Stephen. I whole-heartedly agree with that! I just don't want to be seen as a content farm and someone who just spews stuff all over the internet that's already been said. But as long as one person in the world is touched by my material, I'll already have won :)
Thanks for stopping by!
