    Trials and Tribulations

    I tried and I failed. I tried setting up several Websites before and although at the beginning I was doing well, somehow I didn't follow up anymore. I got distracted and I failed. But I didn't give up! I knew that there is more. I knew that I can't just let it be like this. Not me. I have always been a fighter through my entire Life and giving up is not my style. So I bounced back and I am back on track.

    My first few Website projects did help me in understanding what it is about. My mistake was that I didn't really choose something that I am passionate about and so naturally I lost interest. But now I have found my niche. I love reading books, especially self-help books. You could say I am a self-help-junkie! And this love and passion for improving my own Life has inspired me to restart my journey as an Online Entrepreneur. I was lacking passion now I got loads. I was lacking direction now I got one.

    It is now my mission to share with the world what I have learned so far. It is my task to breakdown and adapt the concepts and strategies I have come across my readings. This I feel passionate about. I would do this for no money so my primary goal is to educate. I want to help other people achieve greatness and I want to contribute to a better world. I wanted to be an inspiration all my life and now I have been given the opportunity to do so.

    So yes looking back I actually EMBRACE my failures and setbacks on this journey. They made me the man I am today. They made me reframe my goal and helped me get a clear vision of why I want to be an Online Entrepreneur. I embrace failure because it always teaches me a lesson. I now own a Website called "Mind2Set" and it is my own version of a self-help blog. It is there to provide valuable information, life-hacks, and life-changing concepts. I have a vision where I am invited to talk at TED about what I do. I love holding presentations and one day I know I will be featured on TED to inspire Millions of People. This is my way - the way of a warrior.

    Hidden Strengths

    Writing Blogs has brought to life the writer in me. I realized that I love writing. Although I am a sociable chap, I prefer to stay in the background. I prefer to work behind the scenes. Writing exactly gives me that atmosphere. I can write from wherever I want to and I won't be distracted. I can put my heart and thoughts into my words and feel free afterwards. Writing has developed into a passion for me. I used to write songs for fun but never really capitalized on it.
    I used to work in call-centers and I hated being on the phone all the time, I would rather communicate on a written basis. Reading books has also helped me big-time, it not only developed a more mature, more welcoming and more open mind - it also improved my vocabulary. This is a huge success for me. It means more than money.

    What stuns me the most is that when I start to write, the ideas and words just flow. There is no effort. It just happens automatically. I don't need blueprints or any form of booster to write. I sit down, open a blank page and start writing. It is wonderfully relaxing and frees my mind. Maybe you have noticed already. I never thought that I would become a passionate writer but hey - life is unpredictable, isn't it?

    What's next?

    Having set up a Website and already having published a handful of posts I am now ready to rumble. I will simply continue my training here at WA and publish articles. My goal is to educate and inspire as many people as possible. If I can only help one single individual in making a lasting change in their life through what I do then that is more than enough credit for me. Of course, my goal is also to create an Income from what I do but more important is helping others. I have learned that if you create Value then you will be rewarded adequately. So I will try to create as much value as possible in order to be rewarded equally.

    As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to be an inspiration. I want to help people achieve greatness. I want to be the source of inspiration for lasting change. I want my website to be ranked amongst the top Websites in the self-help business. I want to call this my job of choice, my task in this world, my service for the people. So regarding my future, I want to see myself actively being involved in this industry: writing articles, holding talks and inspiring people. The journey has just begun and the journey is more important than the destination. Once you reach a destination, you are off to the next one. But the journey always stays with you. The Journey IS the destination.

    Thank you for sticking until the end. I hope you felt some inspiration whilst reading this post. If you did, feel free to leave a comment. If not - that is fine too. May god bless you all.

    Love

    Classic newbie enthusiasm - creating multiple sites because you're so excited about lots of topics. That's fine, but also can cause the situation you are now in.

    So - pick one site to build out and work on it until it is a success. Once that happens, go to the second and repeat, and so on and so on. You won't repeat the mistakes of the first that way, and subsequent sites will develop much more quickly. If you get an idea for one of the other sites, jot it down for later, but stay focused on the first.

    Best wishes!

    Indeed it is classic newbie enthusiasm, or it was. I am now focused on one single website and that's what i will be working on. I had to hit a roadblock before I could redirect so I am all set now. Thanks for the Comment!
