Progress derailed.....temporarily.

I was doing well.....devoting several hours a day to the training and developing of my website. This was actually more time than I had originally planned on giving to getting everything started. But once I got started with the training I got so excited that I was giving all my spare time to it.

Then a couple of weeks ago I had to endure through a death in my family. I'm sure that nobody would be surprised to know that my work on all things WA came crashing to a halt.

It has been hard getting my mind refocused on my website and the training. It seems to be more interested in thinking about absolutely nothing! Funny how the mind likes to obsess with all things unproductive at times of grief and stress. I know that is normal....but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Anyway, what actually got me steered back in the right direction was the death itself. Trying to get everything and everyone taken care of after a death is not only emotionally draining but expensive as well. I don't want the people close to me to have to wonder and worry about how they are going to pay for my funeral. Hell, just cremate me and get it over with!

Seriously though, seeing how this death affected some of my family monetarily was an eye opener. I want to make sure I have enough money put away so that taking care of that and taking care of those I love will be no sweat.

In order to do that I need to get my website up and earning money. Whether or not my first website ends up being a success or not, it will (and already has) be a great learning tool for adapting and adjusting and moving on towards success.

I really am doing this for my family as much as I am for me. Sure, I want to be able to enjoy my retirement that is suddenly getting closer and closer. But I also want to make sure I can provide for those who survive me.

Pretty strong reasons to push on and to not accept failure. All the tools are here on WA. Just keep pushing and learning and progressing no matter how hard it is or how frustrated you may become. The support of the members of WA is nothing short of amazing! USE IT!

Here is to all of us and our success. Push on....never give up.....reap the rewards.

Scott, sorry for your loss, brother. Glad to hear you have re-focused your efforts. The marketers that I respect all have said the same thing...and that is 'never, ever give up.' You'll do just fine. Hope to talk to you again soon...peace.
