Okay, so you start WA, you are excited and motivated. You have a somewhat idea what you are going to do (after you were lost) and you are on the verge of setting up your website:

• There's live chat
• There's blog
• You can search for anything if you need help

Now you have your website up, you are doing the social networking, doing your best. You see people have visited your site, but no one has done much on your site. What gives? You think to yourself. Here's when you start going to this crash mode:

• Maybe I did it wrong?
• Maybe no one can find me?
• I failed
• I did everything they said, so what the heck.
• Should I just give up?

Get all of that out of your head. How do you succeed with a failing mind? Luckily, with the help of those who read my blogs, I had a comment that reminded me of what my father did to own his business:

1. He started off as a man washing cars
2. He educated himself to work on cars
3. He got his smog license and worked 3 jobs at once before
4. He then went into business with another.
5. He moved into a 2 car garage with a small office and yard (for cars to stay overnight).
6. He then relocated to a 5 car garage, 2 offices, 2 bathrooms, huge yard, and huge waiting room business.
7. Now everyone knows of my father as an honest man, a hard worker, and the man to 'go to'.

So, what's the rush to being successful? This took my father YEARS to accomplish. I'm not talking 5-10 years either: more. I realized that at times my father had his rough times when he first started. (We had to cut back on food when he first started to save money). He did a huge risk, he could have failed, but he got passed all those negative thoughts. Compared to doing WA where I'm just trying to make extra income, he was trying to make A LIVING. It reminded me how I should be humble and patient. Success takes time, failure can be an instant. If success was easy, we all would never grow. Be patient, be humble, and work: that's what you need to do. Most of all, don't give up just because you didn't get that dollar, GET THAT TRAFFIC and be patient.

From one beginner to another.
