Patience, Patience, You Shall Get There

Hi,

This is my very first post after 2 years (originally written on July 6, 2016 and updated as shown above). Yes, 2 years. It took me 2 years to realise that I was missing out on something. I was away pursuing other goals: writing a book that isn't even selling very well, completing a course, taking care of baby number 2, and searching for a new job. So, yes, I was very busy. But one question that I asked myself at the end of these 2 years was "What have I achieved on the long-term?"

I have obtained an advanced post graduate diploma but it has gotten me nowhere. I'm still working 6 days a week, sometimes all week. Baby number two is now a toddler, and her dad and I are worried about giving her and her elder brother the best education. But that won't happen without money.

This brought me back to Wealthy Affiliate. And this time around, I am more determined than ever to start and run a sustainable online business.

To all those who feel like giving up, please don't, not yet. You might be closer to success than you can imagine.

Thanks for the inspiration. Everything happens for a reason. I believe those 2 years are not wasted. They made you a better person , more determined than ever to achieve life's goals. Marita

Thanks, Marita. I'm glad I came back to WA. Things are slowly falling into place.

Have you ever heard of the story, "Just Three Feet from Gold"?

Haha! Yep, I have.

That's us. Just keep going. A little work each day becomes a mighty work tomorrow.

I really love your determination and drive! Very very encouraging. It's been about a week for me, if not already, with WA, and I couldn't agree with you more..patience is definitely the key.

@Prinz thanks for sharing; that was very authentic. A lot of us can relate to the feeling of being very busy but not getting very far -- or at least, not where we want to be. You seem to be very good at setting goals. May I recommend a book I'm reading now called "The One Thing" by Gary Keller. You may have heard of it or already read it.

Congratulations, it may have taken two years but you are away now, best wishes moving forward.

Thank you, Evanevaalexa!
