Flag your progress to success - What flag stage are you ?
Are you that individual that just thinks you know it all, and planned to drive without even sitting a driving lesson or test? or have you ever got into your car, neglected to do any checks but still start to drive with nowhere planned in mind?
I'm not a fan of Formula one but their different flags and their purposes struck a chord within me.
What stage flag are you?
White Flag
Kyle mentioned in his very first video that we need to have a business mindset from the start and not the want of 'trying something out' mindset and behaviour.
This is where I believe, our business plan should kick in as we prepare our way to start our online journey
This is your stage:
- Have you just started your online journey or you're still in the "wanting to know what this is all about" mindset.?
- Are you confidently, taking your time, working through your OEC training? Although some members think that this is a green flag because they continue to speed through the lessons even without understanding
- Have you joined Wealthy Affiliates and you're not active but you are impatient AND you're still chasing after shiny objects?
- Are you doing 'practice' runs, with no goals, objectives, vision, or milestones STILL after six months -ONE YEAR?
Green Flag
You are this stage flag if you've experienced some sort of setback, but now you are ready to resume your journey.
We all have experiences of setbacks, whether it is health-related, personal, or financial. Even though some of your friends have passed you on the way, don't beat yourself up because sometimes life just gets in the way!
What do you do?
- Take a step back, reassess your goals, vision, and objectives
- Take a break, if that is what is needed
- Resume working on your activities if that is what your new re-assessment plan is indicating
Life got in the way for me recently when my beautiful mom died. I didn’t know how or why I would carry on. I felt myself sinking and so I reached out to my awesome Wealthy Affiliates members and with their lovely words of comfort and suggestions, I could see the light shining through
After reassessing my goals, vision, and objectives, I am happy to move forward to my next flag
Checkered Flag
Stages of growth and success
We all need to work towards THIS stage
- We complete the end of a session. It can be the end of a level in training
- Monitoring our checklists and daily/weekly achievements
- Researching and taking action on how to be more successful and productive
- Growing in word count and quality blog content on your website
- Identifying and growing your brand
- Reflection and reassessment of our activities at the end of a month or year
- KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
We are human and sometimes we forget that although this platform is super awesome, we are here to build a successful business.
Let us identify our stage, take control, and make amends to our heights of success!
Until next time,
Simone

I set my goals for 2020 a year ago, and of course, things happened this year that altered some of them. But thankfully, a few of them I kept on track. I had to use the green flag a lot this year.
Appreciate the post, Simone!
Isaiah 😊
Me too Isaiah, I'm at the green flag and slowly making my way towards the chequered flag
Thank you for your input. Highly appreciated
