Faith like a child
Powerful lessons from children!
Over the last few days, as I'm interacting with my children I learned such a powerful lesson (again!).
My 3 year old was playing with a Thomas the tank engine train set. We built an easy, small track for his battery operated train to run round on. And he just kept asking for more! "One more and two more and one more" he said holding up the wrong amount of fingers and grinning from ear to ear while jumping up and down. I'd give him one more or two more tracks, expand the railway line yet again......but still....the plea for more kept coming.
"One more and two more and one more"
I was struck by the persistence of my son. A persistence that doesn't quit when I say "no"...a persistence that will still ask EVERY TIME for more. More ice cream, more toys, more more more more. And the funny thing is as a parent.... I'm not bothered. I admire his determination. I admire his focus. Of course he has learned to that persistence can wear a parent down. What was no 5 minutes ago may become yes after some cuteness, smiles and cuddles.
My point is this!
I want this same determination in myself to build out my business and be successful! "Two more and one more and two more". It's not enough to get indexed or have built a website. It's not going to be enough to have completed the training! It's going to be enough when thousands of visitors come to my site every day, when I've earned the way to Vegas, when the monthly income is what I set my goal to be!
Even then...
It still won't be enough! Because I'll want more, as I reach each new success.... I'll set NEW GOALS, to go even further. Why you ask? Because we can. And I know that by determination and keeping at it I will wear down the wall that says NO and turn my future into a big FAT "YES I CAN!"
Follow the path to success paved out by those who have gone ahead. Thank goodness for Wealthy Affiliate and the successful (Kyle & Carson) who came back and paved out this road showing us how to repeat success, repeat the steps, repeat the foundation, that builds this awesome opportunity for everyone who has faith like a child! So dream On...and On...and on...
Cheers,
Melanie

Thank You Amy. I am enjoying the journey. Success looks a bit different for each one but the end goal, I believe is to have more freedom to live like you want and not like circumstances dictate! All the best to you Amy, it’s exciting to see where we’ll go! Melanie
