So many times I see brand new WA members in chat asking the question, "So how long before I make, say $1000?". There's nothing wrong with that question. It's absolutely part of our nature to want to make money quickly in a new business we're undertaking.

• Be Patient

But think about asking the same question if you were starting a brick and mortar business. Most traditional businesses take a very large investment to get off the ground and don't see any profit until the 2nd year.

Do we scoff when people in traditional businesses say it took more than a month to hit the profit zone? What about 6 months? Do we scoff then? Not at all.

Online business is no different. You're not going to build a site from scratch and make $1000 in your first month. But all the framework you're building along with the strong foundation is extremely important steps you're taking.

Just like you can't rent out a house for profit when only the foundation has been poured, in the same way these foundational steps you're taking in your first days with Wealthy Affiliate are extremely important to your long lasting success.

So many people lose their drive and motivation and because they don't see returns right away. Put it in your head that you are not going to be one of those people. You are going to be stubborn with your success and you are going to see this through until you succeed. With that patient attitude you can maintain the drive you need to succeed.
