If you want to lose weight and you start an exercise program and you eat healthy...

Then you follow that program for 1 week.

You go to the gym for 4 times and eat salad.

In the end of the week, you look into the mirror and still don't see 6-pack, strong chest, biceps and other results.

Does it mean that exercising and eating healthy doesn't work?

Obviously not.

Well, that's how many people treat their online businesses.

They "try" Wealthy Affiliate for 1 week and when it didn't make them money immediately they quit.

Immediate Results vs Long-Term Results

When you start a health program, usually a few things will happen.

1. You feel good after exercising because your body releases "feel-good hormones" (unless you go hard-core immediately).
2. You feel good about yourself mentally because you're on your way to a healthier life.
3. You feel better after eating a healthy meal rather than big fat pizza & hamburger. You feel lighter and more energetic.
4. Etc.

Those are immediate results

However, you're not going to get long-term results right away such as:

1. Lose weight
2. Gain muscle
3. Better body composition
4. Improved posture
5. Less fat
6. Etc.

Those things may take a longer time and you shouldn't expect them immediately.

Let's take this to your online business.

Immediate results:

1. You know how to build a website using Wordpress.
2. You know how to research keywords using Jaaxy.
3. You learn how the money-making process works in theory.
4. You feel good because you're on your way to financial freedom.

Those things can happen within a week when you start in Wealthy Affiliate.

However, most people expect long-term results immediately such as:

1. Make money while you're sleeping.
2. Make a life-changing income.
3. Have a website with 30,000 monthly visitors.
4. Ability to make money anytime you want by sending a quick email promo to your email list.
5. Etc.

Those are long-term things and don't happen by snapping your fingers.

But they tend to happen eventually for things who do build their online businesses for the long term. In the same way like health benefits come to you little by little when you follow a health program.

Good news!

Gyms are packed in the first of January. People are excited to build a healthier life.

In the second week, some people have already stopped coming... Each week less people come.

In February a lot of people have already quit.

The same happens with online businesses. Most people are excited in the first few days. But within a month they've alredy quit.

Why is this good news?

Just by taking consistent action to build your business and moving forward every week, you'll beat most of your competition.

I started in Wealthy Affiliate in 2015.

During the last 5 years Wealthy Affiliate has completely transformed my life.

I wonder how many people are still here who started at the same time with me... Just by "sticking in the game" you increase your chances of success dramatically.

Remember the difference between Immediate and Long term results!

• Reaching x amount of daily visitors on your website.
• Getting ranked on Google
• Making your first dollars.
• Making your first $1,000/month online.

Whatever it is... Just celebrate it and give yourself a pat on the back. Then get back to work to hunt more results and provide value for more people.
