NO, You Are Not! I'm The Greatest and Number 1

NO, You Are Not! I'm The Greatest and Number 1

Dear WA Family!

THIS IS NOT AI-GENERATED CONTENT (Nope! Not even spell or grammar correction - LOL)! I'm only using AI for image generation for this blog post.

Sorry for the title. I love being a down-to-earth, humble person, but here I need to tell the truth... The truth is...

I'm The Greatest and Number 1 PROCRASTINATOR (my bad).

My WA Journey

In November 2016, I started my journey with WA. I finished the WA training, built a website (Make Money Online - MMO Niche) and earned money from my website (able to run my family).

My MMO website has 673 posts (Yes, you read it right - 673 posts).

Because of my website, I even got great opportunities to make money. I got sponsored posts and content writing opportunities. So, I started making good money.

So What's Wrong Paul?

Well, 2 people came and I paid attention to them. They are Shiny-Object Syndrome and Procrastination. I tried multiple businesses and investing opportunities. Lost my focus on my website and stopped publishing content.

As a result? Paid sponsored post opportunity vanished and my website traffic came to zero. On the other hand, lost my hard earned money in other businesses and investing schemes. Nope, I'm not talking bad about investing but what I tried are scams.

In order to sustain and run my family, I went to full-time n9ight shift job (nearly 2 years) and health got affected (prior to this I worked in night-shift job for 6 years). So I resigned my job and focused on my health as per the instruction of my wife.

Back To Pavilion

I'm the only person responsible for this situation. The reason I'm writing this is to advice others to stick to your online business and WA. Don't follow the Shiny-object Syndrome and don't procrastinate the things you need to do.

If I would have continued working on my MMO niche and stick with the teachings of WA... My current situation would have been different. For sure, I would have been a super affiliate and would have earned a good income to run my family from my website.

So now I'm starting all over again... Please learn from my mistake/blunder and stupidity (Oops, I'm not harsh on me but that's the truth).

The only good thing I did is... I didn't cancelled my WA membership.

Here it will get more interesting... This is not the first time I'm coming home (WA) and saying moving forward I'm going to focus on my website and stick to WA. It happened multiple times.

Every time I decide this... Another friend will call and will come with good income opportunity, LOL!

But this time... I have decided to follow.... No turning back... No turning back.

Have you ever had a shiny-object syndrome? How you overcome Procrastination? Please share it below via your comment...

GOD Bless!

Your Friend,

Paul
