Speaking it forward!
Hello WA Community
I fell in love with a reflective cycle as a student nurse several years ago and I became hooked ever since. We, the student nurses had to focus on our career pathway, and so we were asked to write under 3 headings in our notebook with each headings asking the below relevant questions.
Question 1: Where am I now
Question 2: Where do I want to go?
Question 3: How do I intend to get there?
This cycle has become my first and foremost thing that I always seek whenever I am a bit confused, on a new challenge or overwhelmed by too many goals to be fulfilled.
Focused
Since investing in myself by being a part of this lovely community and all its perks, my children has become so frustrated with me.
"Ugh," another list
"Always on the laptop,"
"She's addicted!"
"Mom, can you please look at me and not on your phone just for one minute while I am talking to you?"
I have become so focused in my journey to success that I have to set aside time for me within my busy 24 hours of each day. I have begun to time tabled my activity so that I get to fulfill my daily goals and objectives. Maybe, I need to create a time table for each of them as well :) Thank you, Chuck for the reminder of the use of vision board for those of us who are visual learners.
Common sense
It makes no sense starting this journey without writing down my goals and objectives. I am sharing them with you to make myself accountable and also to tick off my daily checklist. Yes, I love to see those ticks under my Achieved or not/Give reason or plan heading. I have to have small doses of motivation to take me through each day. It is how I track whether I am on target.
Distractions
WA learning and the community is my strongest positive distraction right now. Despite all the busy aspect of my life and my 6 children, I have to take time for me. WA has become my private space and reading other members' blogs has really created a diversion from me thinking about my mom dying from cancer in another country and I am not there with her. Yes, I have to focus and carry on regardless. This was what she taught me.
My aspiring goals
I am a high risk taker. I love to push the boundaries of my comfort zones. I know what I want! I am focused enough to get there. I just need the continued support of the WA training and my WA community to help me there. In one of Roope's blog, he reminded us of the endless legit ways, they were to make money. And I intend to use that to my advantage.
Overall goals (for now)
- To achieve financial freedom by 3-5 years
- 5 websites with all varied very passionate niches to improve my income streams (thank you, Cassie)
- To establish the 3 C's with three of my niches ( thank you again Chuck)
First 3 months
- Ensure full understanding of how to build a website
- Indexed by Google (already achieved)
- Write at least 36 quality well researched SEO articles (2-3 articles weekly) from the eyes of a customer
- Search for appropriate affiliate programs for my brand
- Start blogging weekly with WA
- Get at least 5 more referrals ( I have one already)
- Continue to track my daily growth
- Watch my business grow
Finally
I will leave you with this quote of the day 49 by Chigs
"If you believe in yourself, have dedication, pride and that never quit attitude. You will be a winner." I am a winner!
Until next time

Simone, such a touching and inspiring post.
We share something VERY personal and precious.
My Mum also passed away this year, in Florida and, because of our closed borders, I could not be there.
She was the BEST Nurse/Midwife and delivered her only granddaughter so, it hurt even more that she could not see her during those last days.
Like yours, my Mum taught me to "pick up those hemlines and walk bravely forward".
We do what we must.
You are off to an excellent start.
Honour your Mum by being the BEST Digital Entrepreneur you can be.
Thank you for sharing.
Cassi
Aww. Cassi your comment made my day. Although my mom is dying of cancer, she has not gone yet, hers has taken a turn for the worse (last stage?). And I'm so heartbroken that I won't be there. I'm a nurse and I can't even help my mom Cassi.
You're correct though, I will be the best digital entrepreneur , just for her. Thank you so much for your feedback
Please accept my apologies, Simone.
It is SO good that she is still with you.
Can you at least Skype or Zoom?
It was tough during those last days with my Mum.
Reach inward and hold your strength tightly and closely.
I am always here if you need an ear.
Cassi
Hi Cassi you don't need to apologise. It's fine. I can talk to her and video call her on WhatsApp but she is too weak to take my call. Thank you for your offer. I do appreciate it. Thank you for caring
That is excellent advice as I have to admit that I have never ever done that for any aspect of my life.
Thank you Geoffrey for your consistent assistance to me since I've been at WA. Your feedback is appreciated.

WoW Simone thank you for sharing your personal journey with us. Girl you went deep, I so sympathize with you, being apart from your mom, as a nurse it must be ripping your heart out.
My niece is a nurse, specializing in caring for the ailing in their late days, she cannot even come over to visit her ailing dad due to our closed borders, we talk often so I understand where you’re coming from.
However, your story, drive and determination are very inspiring indeed. You’ll go far my friend, stay strong. You have the strength of the WA community behind you; You can do it and with 6 kids to boot. They have a wonderful role model to look up to.
Stay safe, stay strong.
