The Pain of Change

Hey Everyone,

So, I was having another morning where I couldn't get much done. Partly due to day job stresses, partly due to a family emergency during the day, and party because I haven't been feeling myself lately. It's the last part that I want to address.

I found myself pushing off working on my site in favor of household duties and other life responsibilities. This morning I looked around and realized that my chores and responsibilities will always be there, but this opportunity might not be. I asked myself when is the pain of changing my ways going to be less than the pain of waking up to the same load of dishes, the same job day in and day out, or the pain of never having enough time with my children because of my work responsibilities. I have to realize that the pain of making a change and sacrifice to make WA work for me (which to be honest, isn't really a pain at all) is less than having a mediocre life.

I need to stay focused and keep going.

I hope you guys have a great day!

So Very True

We all have days that do not go as they probably should. Don't be hard on yourself. Just commit to changing it in the coming days and realize that it is a process. You'll be okay.

It is very hard not to be hard on myself. I'm my own worst critic.

I'm the same way. You have to be mindful about recognizing the progress that you have made and the fact that if you have done this once, then it can be repeated. You have to make an effort+ to consciously let go of self-criticism. It is not easy, but it can be done.

Do not confuse your present day with your potential my friend. Keep pressing forward toward the goal, and you will overcome all obstacles. Have a great day! :-)

You are gaining wisdom about setting priorities. That's very special.

The secret to staying on track is having fun!

You have discovered one of the major secrets to success and now understand the truth behind the saying, "Keep doing what you are doing, and you will continue to get what you are getting." The other related saying is, "If you want something different, you MUST do something different."

The question has always been, "What vehicle should I use to get to my independent wealth."

Some people become business owners, but I've been down that road and know that it is a trap if you must be there to run it. Other people invest their money into businesses with the hopes of a return. That is good as long as the investments are producing a return . . . assuming that you have enough money to invest in the first place. Even the stock market takes a large amount of investment capitol to get a decent return that you can live on.

So many avenues . . . but when you look long down the road . . . they all lead to the same place. Full circle. It's a hamster on the wheel. Some methods look less like a wheel than others because the "wheel" is very large, but, it is still a wheel. The moment you step off . . . all income stops.

With online marketing, the difference is that, if you dedicate your time to truly learning the little things that you need to know to get your name out there and get noticed, you can earn a great return with very little $$ invested. Yes . . . the investment is YOU! You spin the wheel from the outside rather than running on it. You can set the wheel in motion and, with a few tweaks, it will continue to run for a long time on its own. All you have to do is manage it with a little love each day . . . just give it a "nudge" and it will keep spinning.

With WA, you have the tools and the support to get your wheel spinning relatively quickly. Now it is up to you to be creative and express yourself in a way that is interesting to other people. Being helpful is a great way to draw more people in through word of mouth. Yes . . . build your site, improve your SEO so that people can find you, and you have an audience. The true beauty of WA is that you can offer people a path to their own freedom that will also garner you a modest income. It's a WIN WIN!!

Think of it. Everyone wants to get rich quick. They want that one time big score so that they will never have to work again. They want to hit the lotto, but that rarely works out. Being successful is like breathing. A little bit at a time each day over a long period of time is what builds wealth.

When you can consistently sign up 3 new Premium members a day, your income will grow exponentially. The monthly fee is affordable to many people, and the value for their money is certainly there for them to continue to remain a member. Doing this will empower your business to grow by around $2,000 a month. The trick is getting to that level. The fun is in finding what works for you. What do you love? What do you truly love? Put that love into what you write about and you will grow your circle of influence and your monthly income.

Now . . . the greatest secret of all - Don't do it for the money.

When you create simply to genuinely help others, the money will come. It is a byproduct of your desire to help others.

Putting forth effort to work a job takes effort, but giving away love is effortless. Which one gives you the greatest return? Whatever you do, love what you do.

When you don't feel like working on your business, ask yourself, "Will what I am doing bring me a residual income into eternity? If not, do something else.

Yes . . . the dishes, laundry, vacuuming and all of the domestic things must be done. AFTER you spend 2 hours working productively on your WA business. Eventually, you will earn enough money to hire someone to do that work for you.

You are on the right track! It takes time for this work, so keep doing what you are doing, do it more and do it better.

Remember: LOVE YOUR PEOPLE!!

Thank you for your post and for your time!


God bless you and happy holidays!

Peace,
William

Stay focused, finding time is not always easy, you could think of making yourself a calendar and reserve time, 1 hour a day for your website / training and more if you see it fits. At least you will be consistent in building and then you will get there. Slowly but surely. Good luck.

You are right that trying to find time is difficult but if I want to succeed, I have to find the time.
