HEEELP! I'm lost and I don't know where to go!
Hi everybody. I noticed that a few new folks have had some issues with not knowing where to go next either after completing lesson 9 of the first course or just an overall feeling of being lost. Since I'm not that far from having been there, I hope that this blog post will help.
One thing that I did as I was going through the training was take my time. That is the most important thing. Sometimes we develop some anxieties about things and we just want to go, go, go. But what we have to remember is, there's no real hurry. When we rush, we mess up or miss things and that is much worse than taking our time.
Secondly, I felt that I needed to watch a video more than once because I didn't quite get it. That's not uncommon, either. Replay it if you have to. As a matter of fact, pause it, open your siterubix in a separate window, put them side by side and go along with the video. As one of our community members suggested, take plenty of notes.
Most of all, remember that your community members are here to help you. So never be afraid to ask questions. One thing that I really admire most about WA is the community and how helpful it's people are. So take advantage of it.
If anyone has any other tips, feel free to comment below.

Thanks for the reassurance! I've been telling myself to take it slow and steady and absorb the training.
I totally agree,if you ever feel stuck,here at WA is amazing community and great site support so feel free to contact and ask questions.You'll never know if you don't ask,right?! :)
Great advice, Rochelle! I agree, it's important to take your time and if you need to go back over the lessons then by all means do so.
I'd definitely advise going back over each one just to make sure you did complete everything and understood it completely. It helps a lot in my opinion. Rushing through it will not help in the long run, especially if you're just starting out at this.
I too, often go back to watch videos again or read the lesson over again...my memory isn't that great that I'd trust it completely, lol. I like your idea of opening up your own web site in a separate window and follow along with the video...it's what I always do since it makes it much easier to just get it done. Instead of wondering "what was it I had to do here again?"
I also write everything down on paper that I complete for my websites, including how far along they are in terms of the lessons. And, along that note...my advice to newbies here is to not do what I've made the mistake of doing, and just stick to one site until it gets to where you want it to be...making an income you'd like it to make. So, choose your niche wisely and pick one that you're passionate about the most.
I'm glad you posted this, Rochelle. It'll help many of the new members here I'm sure.
Best wishes :) ~Sherry
Yes, Sherry, I realized that I would be really overwhelmed if I started on another niche that I had in mind right now. It's a very good idea to just stay on one and work on it until it's burned some rubber. Thanks for bringing that up. Great post!
GREAT BLOG :--)) I think you covered most of it honey, but for anyone that is going to take the leap and go to premium after course 1 lesson 10 then if you message me i have a great video link you will be able to access. i thought i had most of it covered but after watching those videos i went back over a shed load of stuff and i am now on my third run through of the videos.........as above.....SLOW DOWN....take your time....ask for adivse.....NOTES !!! etc etc etc...... :-)) we are all here :-))
Also rest if you must, but don't you quit and never ever give up. That's what makes the success so much sweeter!

how do i start the training video
Not sure which training video you mean, you can find them throughout the lessons in the "Training" section in the left menu here.
I'm not sure whether you started yet or not, but click the "view course" button in the "Getting Started" section if not. Follow the training from there...each step is broken down for you with a box to check once you're done with that step.
As for extra training videos, you can find the past ones in the "Live Events" section and there's always a Live webinar/video every Friday at 8 p.m. EST. But, if you're just starting out, I'd focus on the main training first, under the Getting Started course. You'll find videos there to explain the steps.as you go...
Hope that helps...and, let us know if you have questions yet....
Best wishes :) ~Sherry
