Two (2) weeks In!
Hey family!
so this is just an update on what has been happening here with me within the walls of Wealthy Affiliates. I joined within the last week in February and signed up three days later to be a Premium member. Since that day i have been spending all my days and nights going through the course and taking action on the steps required. I came in with the mindset that i must follow the directions outlined through the videos and written content.
I have decided to share what i have found to be my weaknesses and areas of strengths. I also want to share with you my proposed plan for strengthening these current weaknesses. I really believe building a business of any sort is alot like a muscle. The strength of that muscle is dependent on whether you challenge it and train daily! I cannot expect to get better at something if i donot do the things that will enable me to get better! I also wish to put this out there for anyone of you who is struggling with the same issues. So here goes....
What i have accomplished so far...
- Completed Getting Started level 1.
- Built three (3) websites. All in the areas I love!
- Become quite clear about the direction i want to go with each of these niches for this year.
- Written my About Me page and a blog post for each
- Im half-way through Level.2 Building your own traffic and done all tasks required
- I'm half-way through Affiliate bootcamp, Phase 1 and done all tasks required
My Challenges
- I am currently NOT fast at writing and coming up with content as fast as i would like to.
- I struggle with FOCUS!
- My level of discipline is not that great...I am actually starting to get really annoyed at my inability to DO WHAT I SAY IM GONNA DO THAT DAY!!
- I have the ability to have DRIVE and PASSION about something I want to do for approximately two-and-a-half (2.5) weeks. After that I start leaking!!! NOT COOL!
So in this moment i am pushing the reset button and reminding myself of why i am here and why i am doing this.
My New Plan of action!
- I (in this moment) am giving myself a challege to enable me to increase the speed of my writing. The plan scares me...honestly! But i HAVE to strengthen this weakness and change my mindset.

- Live daily being very aware of the nature of my discipline and focus in every given moment. Refuse to live mindlessly and MAKE NO EXCUSES for the lack of these things in my life. How am i building discipline and focus into my business? Be intentional!
- Dig deeper to be able to keep going. Continue to focus on the personal actionable goals I set for myself this month. Donot live my my emotions!!
My Strength
- I am not giving up. I keep pressing in.
So yes, this is where i'm at and what has been happening in my head space. Comment below, I would love to hear from you guys! What do you struggle with?
Sending you much encouragement!

Hi Rosemary,
Good to meet you . I wish I was as far along as you are ! I do believe we must have signed up approximately the same time . You are way ahead of me . You are doing great .
My struggles are letting things interrupt me . I’ve gotta start telling everyone the hours I will be available so I don’t get interrupted all day . Also I have doubt in things I do for I have failed so many times before .
I have got my story published but that’s as far as I have gotten . I now am on #8 level 1 and I’m scared to death I’m gonna mess up .
Thanks For Your Honesty

Hi Lisa,
I can relate to having failed so much and being afraid you are going to mess things up. The thing I have learned the last few years of my journey is I will fail a few times before success comes. So the key is to learn the important lesson each failure moment is showing us. Don't be afraid of failing, just keep getting up and moving forward. I also agree with carving out the time to work and letting everyone around me know that its time for work. It has been a game changer for me to learn to see what I am doing as a business and put value and respect on my time first and then demand that others respect that time as well. Haha so many good principles! Good luck.
