Climbing that ladder

My progress so far... what can I say.

Initial thoughts, oh another program that promises and probably will take me for a ride only to have wasted time I could have spent on something more productive. I think this is the main thing that hinders so much when they hear about making an income online, and with so many scams out there who wouldn't be cautious,

This might sound a bit cliche but if I could be bought into joining this community, any skeptic could be, I do reviews on just about "EVERYTHING". I try my best to give everyone the best value for their money and I usually expect the same, and so far here at WA, my expectations have been exceeded.

Now like everything worth having, working towards it hasn't been without it's bumps and potholes. I've struggled in a few areas I'm new to and being the perfectionist that I am, has not made things easy. I've fought to let go of that in certain areas as I've found it slows my progress down quite a bit.

Following my training as closely as I can I'd have to say one of my great challenges have been trying to get my website built, I attempted this years ago but never completed one. If not for the motivation around me at WA, I probably might not have stuck with it. I went through so many themes before I got settled into finally deciding on one, and then trying to get it to be visually appealing to my intended audience while not boring them with too much reading, and at the same time trying to get the content crammed in has been pretty challenging.

Content creating has been another of my feared monsters. I am no writer, at least that's what my inner-self keeps telling me. I know I have to silence him or he'll try to overwhelm me and bring me to a screeching halt. It has been my greatest challenge so far, but I'm not prepared to stop anytime soon. It's a must in this business and eventually I know it'll grow on me.

From here on out the plan is to stick with the training and see where this leads, I don't want to focus too much on the money side of things only as this might become a distraction and lead to frustration wondering when will I get paid. Sure it is why pretty much all of us are here primarily, but I've found with that constantly on your mind it could potentially stifle creativity and this you don't want.

My goals within the next three to six months:

Focus on Consistent Quality Content Creation

Traffic Generation

Network Growth

Become A Support Beacon

All in all, I'm having a blast here. Have I wasted my time, most definitely not, I learn something new every day. I meet great people and I actually look forward to coming back here each day. Despite my initial fight with/fear of web site building, I am hoping to expand my skills in that area. I think this is going to develop into a hobby for me, I love using WordPress.

I am thankful for the support here, my growing network and the training. Enough just can't be said about the Wealthy Affiliate Community, Kyle and Carson you have put together a gem of a program, one I hope to be a part of for years to come and I would be so bold as to assume that the vast majority here echoes this sentiment. My wish is the greatest of success to all who reads this and hope that at least in some tiny way it offers motivation in your journey.

Cheers to all.
