Stay In My Lane? Which Lane?

Hi Everyone,

I'm here at WA for the thrid time. It's been just under two months this time. I re-entered on the Black Friday promotion.

There's someone here in WA who seems to stand in my way, confuses and complicates things for me, and keeps me off balance and in a constant state of doubt. You may know this person too.

That person is self--me, myself, and I.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not confused about the fact that my way(s) didn't work in the past and probably won't this time. I'm not confused about how I can so easily complicate things (there's an oxymoron if ever there was one). I'm fully aware and conscious of that this time around.

I'm no longer trying to pretend to anyone, most notably me, that I know more than I do. I realize I know some things, perhaps a lot of things, but I only know what I know. I'm much more honest with myself about that this time.

I'm doing my best to be as honest as possible, brutally honest if necessary, in my posts and blog posts such as this.

So, why am I writing this?

There are a few things that seem to play in my head like a vinyl record that has a scratch (If you can relate to that, you're dating yourself, and we're probably in the same age group).

When a vinyl record had a scratch, it would repeat the same line or tune over and over, because the needle in a record player (remember those?) got stuck. To unstick it, you'd simply, gently nudge the needle forward and the record would continue to play normally, unitl, of course, if there was another scratch in the record. Rinse and repeat.

So here's the deal:

I have three websites and I'm considering a fourth, although I told myself when I began that I would only start with one.

I told myself when I returned that I would concentrate only on the basics and not worry about making money just yet. However, I fight with myself every day to not get carried away about making money.

I get very distracted by shiny objects and struggle with who to follow and who not to follow. I read some very inspirational posts etc. on WA and find myself wanting to be like them when I grow up (if I ever grow up) :-).

What I'm saying is, I want to stay in my lane, but I'm not really sure what or where that is. Kyle says to create a niche we're passionate about. The problem is, I'm somewhat passionate about several things and those passions seem to have phases. I need structure but I also like variety.

Meanwhile, I've found a potentially lucrative affiliate opportunity that I have found too attractive to not be interested but I'm not sure where it fits in with the websites/niches I'm already involved with.

I'm interested in your feedback, especially if you've had success.

Thanks for reading.

Bob
