and so am I !!!

I joined the WA community on November 28, 2014, 50 days ago yesterday, still an awesome decision I might add. I became a premium member shortly thereafter and I even upgraded to a paid Jaaxy account, so I SHOULD be well on my way to having a productive website by now and working on driving traffic to my site, or sites in my case.

What have I got to show for it, nothing but a few websites with basically nothing on them? What on earth am I thinking, the instructions are pretty clear, watch the trainings in the right order, take action, and do the daily tasks before moving on to the next training.

What's the problem, and yes it's a problem, what in the Hell am I thinking? I'm actually a fairly smart guy so why am I trying to swim up stream, why do I think I'm so smart I can find some shortcuts and reach my destination quicker than those who are doing things the right way?

I have no idea and it completely blows me away !!! Is there anybody else in the WA community that can relate to what I'm saying, or is it just me?

I'd bet my life there is because it's natural for people to want things now, we don't like to wait for anything, we look for shortcuts to get what we want NOW!!!

I'll stop my Rant now, it's becoming too painful to think about any longer.

Everyone Listen up, whatever you have to do, STOP in your tracks RIGHT NOW and go back to the beginning. If you've skipped any of the trainings. If you've not done exactly as things are laid out here, if you've not done each task in the modules, you are destined to fail, it's literally a matter of days before you jump ship, and you start saying or thinking "This stuff doesn't work".

There may be a few exceptions, but I'd bet only a few.

Don't think your website has to be perfect, or that it doesn't look good, or that maybe your niche won't be profitable, those are only copouts. Maybe you've run into some challenges, or feel you're in over your head, these are typical thoughts every new person has so reach out to the community, help is available for ANY problem you're having, not getting help is no excuse.

I spent some time this morning looking at some blogs from some of the most successful people in the Internet Marketing space and I was shocked at how simple their websites were, nothing fancy, just basic Wordpress websites, simple, simple, simple. However, they had content and that's all we have to do as well.

I had a rude awakening and I hope you have too. I've recommitted to doing the trainings and following the steps as they are laid out. Success is sure to come for those who follow the plan.

Good Luck !!!!
