Greetings everyone.
When I discovered Wealthy Affiliate I knew that I had found the right place at the right time. Just what I had always wanted, a chance to earn residual income. I was really Gung Ho! Everything was available to get this IM done. After a week or two I was struck down by information overload, so I retreated for a while to get myself together. Once again I entered the fray only to jump from one thing to another. Wow this is a great idea, but wait a minute this looks good too.I had my sites set quite high, I knew that this could be a million dollar business, so that is where I had set my goals. I did a lot of reading and studying. I had no focus, allowing the treasure trove of information to overwhelm me. I could not understand why this kept eluding me. I had read many times that one had to take action. Just studying and reading would just not cut it.
I felt that I had taken action a number of times and I was not getting any results. I have finally come to the conclusion that I was biting off more than I could chew. I joined WA on April 19, 2010 and so far have not earned a single dime from the Internet. I would like to thank *BIS for this very helpful tip. "Sometimes we have to take a step backwards to continue our forward journey."
I am approaching my third anniversary with WA and thanks to their Boot-camp Course I have learned more than I have in the past few years. I have set a new goal for myself that I find to be more achievable.
My goal is to earn one dollar from the Internet. There a tens of thousands of people online wanting to have what we have here. It should not be too difficult to show them a way that they can earn extra money to supplement their present income.
With the new training courses and step by step training it should help to take some of the information overload out of the picture. I have learned that it is so much easier to be a friend and lend a helping hand than it is to always be saying "You have to do this" or "You have to do that" No not that way do it this way", People just do not appreciate being told what to do.
I have also adopted a new strategy to go hand in hand with learning new tricks. Replacing an old habit with a newer more beneficial one. That being to never miss a day on WA if it can be avoided. Even if you are only on for a few minutes just to say hello in chat. But try to be more beneficial by doing work on your website or to write a blog. My goal for today was to write this blog/. Guess that I have succeeded with that. :-D
