The Beginning

My wife & I, fresh to Wealthy Affiliate at the time, we're head driven and more than excited to jump right into the training right off the bat. Ready to start our first webpage & rush into our journey together here. How wrong we were just a few weeks ago when we thought we were so right.

We rushed into the build of the website and started to occur problems with the manipulation of widgets and our pages. Unbeknownst to us, we scrapped the website and decided to head back in the training thinking we had done something wrong on our end after following the training videos.

The Realization

To the virgin eye, the system of editing for the website seems complex. We kept coming back to what we did and how we went wrong. And the same answer kept popping up for us. Not having all the information needed to maneuver the editing process.

Since then we’ve been researching just that, and also going back to gather any information we may have previously lost with time. It’s a slow process shooting for perfection online. It’s a hard task that we should constantly be trying to reach. some say it’s impossible, but shooting for our dream of impossible and reaching for that goal is what we all want here at Wealthy Affiliate.

The End Result

So follow those urges of unrelenting success you crave, and don’t look back! You’re creating and molding your own path here on WA. Don’t worry when you mess up, because it’s okay... Take a breather. Take a break. Do what you must to calm yourself so you can have a level head moving forward. Resulting in a better outcome for success.

I hope this brings light for some of us here that might be struggling or just looking for guidance, to understand that WA has near endless training and questions that can be answered all at our disposal is groundbreaking. If you’re stuck or don’t know what to do even, research, research, research. It’s one of our best friends here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Reach out to us & the community if there’s anything we can do to help you. I’m sure more than one of us have been in similar shoes and can help guide you in the right direction.

Stay calm, stay positive, success will follow,
Cole & Tay

Dear Cole and Tay,
I love where your head is at! My years here has been interesting and somewhat profitable. The process is somewhat slow and tedious, but it has taught me patience. You just 'stay the course', and amazing things just start happening. Your actions will speak for themselves... put the work in! Good luck here at WA, and blog your successes at us.

Great post.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Hina, we’re glad you liked it. :)

Thank you for this post! If you only knew how badly I needed to hear those words this evening! I am a perfectionist and it has caused me so much grief! I will take your words to heart.

That means a lot Becca. We are as well, and we’re coming at this second website HARD. I suggest read and watch the videos ahead of where you are in training. Then go back to where you were and continue the grind... After that, you’ll come into your next set of work with more knowledge and confidence to tackle your task at hand. You got this. It’s real, but our goal of income is beyond the hill and we will reach it! Also, You’re the first person we’ve ever helped on here. Thank you for noticing and we appreciate you. Good luck with it all!
Cole & Tay

That is a great idea! I had to go back to the beginning of my training and start over so I will definitely take your suggestion. Good luck to you all as well and be good to yourselves.
Becca

Wishing you much success.

Congratulations! You've made it through your first 'scrapped site'!
We've all been here, and have felt the same way... I'm so glad that you didn't give up!
You have faced it with courage and finesse!!
Welcome aboard!

Hey C & T,
When we first started here at WA we were not happy with our first site which was too broad a niche. So we scrapped it, too.
It is best to really take the time to go through the training and revisit it from time to time.
There is so much to learn!
You will find that working together will help you a lot.
C & P

Cole & Tay,

Thanks for sharing with us the summary of your journey and the takeaways from it from your perspective.

Wishing you both continued success here at WA.

Blessings!
