The guy in the picture is a pretty sad looking character and I chose this picture to make you smile and also to make you think.

We all get down, we all feel inadequate at times and yes, we all could do with a boost.

Comfort Zones are where we sit and look out at everything around us and we feel comfortable right where we are, agreed? Yes. OK, in order to grow confidence for youself you need to challenge yourself every day.

How?

By doing something that makes you grow.

Maybe its write 2000 words for your next post.

Maybe its do a course that scares you a little but will give you more knowledge to be more successful

Maybe its taking on a new task or hobby you have never tried so you can teach others one day.

When I first joined WA I knew pretty much nothing about building a website let alone SEO or anyhting related to the online world.

All I knew was to type www. and whatever I was looking for and that was it.

Within 2 days, I went premium and did all the training step by step gaining confidence along the way and now nearly 4 months later I know so much more than I ever dreamed.

Yes, it was challenging and every day I asked myself WHY am I doing this and when I thought about my WHY, I got into it and loved every minute of it and still love learning everyday here

Outside WA I also do things that teach me as I believe if we do this we gain confidence and most of all it allows up to help more people and helping people is my passion.

So what I want you to to do next is in the tasks below.

Vicki,
Had to skip lesson 2 last night, and as promised I finished it
today. I walked across the street and said hello plus carried
on a conversation with a total stranger who had her granddaughter in the stroller in front of me at the store!! I followed 11 new members and Welcomed them into the WA community (lost count LOL).
Your friend and admirer,
Susan

Vicki,
This is simple for me:
I have already been told I am crazy for trying this it is a waste of money!
I looked them square in the eye and said "This is something I have wanted to do all my life and for the first time guess what I not only have one website built and indexed by Google I have 4! So you can think what you want for me this is the real deal after all and I am going to make it work!"
The best part is when I tell them this they get a dumb look on their face like WHAT really you cannot be serious!
So people can say whatever they want I know what this platform
can and will do I will never forget where I started and keep paying
it forward always!

Thank you for this Lesson; I seriously needed this as a kick in
the behind with how I am feeling about my new undertaking.

Thank you because of you I now feel much more confident than
before I started reading this and know I CAN and WILL be able
to do whatever I put my mind to!

And just so you know I want to be just like you when I grow up,
your the bestest in the whole world! (And yes I know bestest is
not a real word)

Thank you because I cannot say it enough,

Susan :)

Vicki,
This I would like to do right now jumping ahead sorry :(
In 12 months from now, I would love to be a little more financial
independent not having to worry if I am going to have enough
to pay my bills and be able to eat. I am not looking to become
rich just live more comfortably than what I have it right now.

Qualities I am proud to have - Honesty, which to some they find
hurtful because I will only let them know the truth of things.
Determination, I never give up if first I do not succeed I keep trying
until I get things done. Will-power, where there is a will there is
always a way and I will search until I find the way. Work ethic,
I am willing to work long hours to accomplish what I need or want
to get done. Helpfulness, I am always willing to pay things forward
and help anyone who needs help no matter what the circumstances are if I am not knowledgeable enough I find someone who is and can help. Thoughtful, I will listen without
judging anyone we all have pasts who am I to judge! Faith, my faith in the Lord even though we are not to do religion here sorry
but this plays a huge role for me in everything I do.

This is only my opinion, I stay focused in WA and my work here
because I do not consider this work it is enjoyment for me. My father (God Rest his Soul) always told us growing up (there are
four of us) a job is just a job; find something you enjoy doing and
then it is no longer a job or work it is fun!

Hi Susan
I knew all these things about you just by seeing how you present yourself within WA :)
You are a truly lovely soul and thank you for sharing this with me today
A challenge- Instead of saying " I would love to be a little more financial
independent not having to worry if I am going to have enough
to pay my bills and be able to eat. I am not looking to become
rich just live more comfortably than what I have it right now."

I would like you to give me a figure in $, please
for example
In 12 months from today, I will be receiving $600 per week from all my sources through my website and this increases every week

When you write an amount as if it is true, you are sending out some really wonderful positive energy to bring it forward to you ok
So PM me with this statement when you have a few minutes

I will take this lesson and do it tomorrow as I am going out! But where I live if I walk across the street I do not have much choice but to say hello when someone walks by. I live in a small town only 3 blocks long LOL, and no matter who you pass on the street everyone says hello :)
Welcoming new members I do try to make sure I welcome at least two per day and give them a follow but tomorrow I will do 10!

Hi Susan
These are really great - I want to challenge you on one though :)
How about you push yourself just a little more to 3 posts per week
Monday- Thursday and one other day for example
Am I pushing too hard or do you think you can do it?

Vicki,
I can do this sure but I want to set realistic goals at this time.
Should I set a goal at 3 posts per week to each of them and
not get them finished I would find or feel like I would be failing
in some way, does this make sense?
Susan :)
