Wealthy Affiliate Magic or Island Magic?

I want to share with you a recent experience I have had success wise. I believe it could be Wealthy Affiliate Magic or Island Magic, then again it could be a bit of both..
Having been a member for a bit now, I have been working like you to make my business succeed by applying what is taught in our training here at Wealthy Affiliate. I have enhanced my skills by following the assigned training and that has been my focus to this point
I have a bootcamp site and have started the last phase ( phase 7). Now you may be wondering why it is taking me so long to finish the training? well I hit the PPC wall. I had not quite seen the amount of success I was hoping for when I started Phase 6 and know from past experience that PPC could lead me down a costly path if I wasn't learning to convert to the level I was expecting
So I backed off a bit and spent time on Site comments and writing articles for my site
until this month (March). I decided I was going to finish the bootcamp and practice what I preach to others about finishng the training.Many members who have had success have stated repeatedly,"follow the training and finish it" and it will pay off.
I have seen people succeed here during the time I have been a member.
So whats the magic all about?
Magic
First, I left March 1st for 25 Days in the Hawaiian Islands. More specifically Kauai which has been my go to place to unwind for a while now. There is a saying in Kauai that the Island either excepts you or rejects you. It may be a wise tail but I believe it. My wife and I love it their and the energy is truly magical. Why?
Just so many positive things happen when we are there. The latest was a dramatic step forward for my business. That alone is exciting.
To digress a bit I am a firm believer in positive energy and how it can make a difference in your daily life. It may sound hoky but I have seen it work for me many times.
So what happened was I re launched some of my latest PPC campaigns following Kyles training about relevance in phase 6 and how the more relevant you are the better the chance for success.
It Worked !!
Within a few hrs of launching my latest campaign I received an "invitation accepted message" for those who have not received one yet,that's a Referral, Then I got another and then Jaaxy referrals came in like Popcorn as one of my latest posts about jaaxy pretty much went Viral on PPC. When we finally left i had achieved a dramatic step forward in my success, since the messages kept coming in. Cool right?
I look at the results that came in while I was gone as validation of my plan to have an online business that allows me to travel and live anywhere. So it was a somewhat exciting with the results
Then a wierd thing happened.
I came home back to the mainland and the exact same campaigns using the exact same conditions, barely produced at all.Queue the Crickets. It felt wierd coming home after being gone for nearly a month, so I wasn't feeling it energy wise. It showed in the results as things backed off when I arrived.
I am not worried as I know once I see a jump in traffic levels my business will continue to thrive.
But I did have to wonder, was it the magic of the island that made it work out or Wealthy Affiliate magic? I will go with a bit of both and see what happens going forward
I am excited for the next step and where it will lead.
Take Care All

I am sure you will keep at it and eventually, no crickets!
Congrats to you!
Hopefully yours come back soon :-) and thanks for sharing your story... I need to be more thorough with the training as well as I tend to jump around and inevitably miss important things.
