My First Month As a WA Member - Like a Roller Coaster Ride
When I first stumbled across WA, I was at a point where I needed to find some way to get more income. I was working full time and living paycheck-by-paycheck. Dreaming of a future, where I was able to make my own living and had the freedom to work when and where ever I wanted to. And my guess is, that you have similar goals, right?
Well, I have not come so far yet. But for the first time in a while I actually have a proper plan and guide lines on how I eventually could make this happen. After joining WA and taking the classes provided, I feel like I have learned a ton! And I am not even half-way trough the training.
In the first two weeks I went trough phases 1-3, I had published 7 posts, signed up for the first affiliate marketing programs and was trying to make my blog look nice. I was super excited of my progress!
It came time to update my membership to the Premium. Now I am usually very skeptical on paying for programs, especially since there are so many scams and useless programs out there. And I really appreciated the fact, that I was able to try WA out for free, before paying for anything. I can admit, I got hooked quite fast.
WA was not the first thing I tried on my search for freedom, but there are some things that stand out and make a huge difference compared to other courses and guides. Here are some of the advantages:
1. Training is so easy to follow and to put into action
2. It is super easy to use, even for complete newbies
3. Incredible support from the community
Unfortunately, not everything has been peachy though. In my first month, I have also hit a wall. And by this I mean, I have not been able to continue my training, I have not written anything and I generally have not made any progress what so ever. Life happened and I got preoccupied with all kind of things. Also, I lost sight of my goals and with that, my motivation.
So, I decided to take a break and take a step back. By now, I have realized that loosing sight of my goals, was maybe my biggest obstacle. To get thing rolling again, I had to find a way to boost my motivation and inspiration. My guess is, that a most of us struggle every now and then with this issue. So I wanted to share, how I managed to back on track.
1. Set / Reset your ultimate goal
2. Break it down - smaller and easily achievable goals
3. Start working on reaching your first smaller goal
4. When you have reached your first goal: Celebrate! (or at least tap your self on the shoulder for the achievement)
It is easy to get super excited in the beginning, but every now and then, it is normal to lose motivation and to get stuck. For me, resetting my goals was the key. What works for you? I would love to hear how you have overcome your struggles. Or do you have some tips and tricks that are super effective? Just leave a comment below! And feel free to hit the like button and share. It will be appreciated!

Exactly, I am also going through the same phase like you. I had too many things on my plate. 9 t 6 jobs, then some freelancing work after I reach home. First few weeks was exciting, then I lost the track of my goal.
So I have decided to do following things
- first I have cut off my freelancing work since last week as I want to focus on result oriented income not per hour
- second, daily morning route, My daily morning routine are these: wake up, do urgent bathroom stuffs, praise myself by talking about good things I own and have, read my goals aloud, meditate, few push ups, shower
I suggest you to write your goals on sticky notes and stick them where you see it every day.
I am also trying this at the moment and I believe it might work well for you as well :)
Thank you for your tip, I will definitely try it out! And btw. I love the whole morning routine part. I think that is also what I am having difficoulties with. Not having a proper routine.
I wish you all the best and I'm looking forward to hear from your success!
