Starting Over
What can I say? Quitting wasn't an option for me I guess. Strange, although I knew I would not succeed. Some called me stubborn. I beg to differ! My eagerness to be informed before I make a decision is vital. People that just take the plunge are gullible to me.
Many times I have found that the information, advice or guides were misleading. Like most humans I tam prone to bite off more than I can chew. I think that comes with imperfection and desperation.
Learning came easy for me as a young girl in school.
While I did have to work hard to keep it that way, I was determined to complete all assignments and projects. That was not easy when you don't know if you will have a home to go to when school let's out. If you get home will the lights be on? Will you have dinner or heat in winter?
Yes, that was my life and those were the little things me and my 10 siblings had to worry about. We had bigger things like will our step-father be home drunk. Will mom be home or hiding at neighbor's house.
Despite situations like these I was honored as a valedictorian in high school. There was no support through it all. No one showed for the ceremony. Like I mentioned, motivating myself is a god-given gift. If I know something will benefit me and others I will pursue it.
Sickness and getting older are just a few obstacles I maneuver daily. Confession time! Learning is getting harder for me.
Life has served me plenty of lemons and lemonade is not my best drink. I do use lemon zest and juice on my vegetables and fish.
Without degrading my intellect I admit I am not grasping everything in detail. Understanding this new affiliate/computer/marketing language is difficult for me.
Therefore, I have to start all over again with lesson one. Not good to keep going because the anxiety is not good for my health. I have found myself asking elementary questions and going back to find what I missed when I proceed to next assignment.
I appreciate all the encouragement and mercy from anyone that is having similar issues.
God Bless You

As a newbie to MMO, I was overwhelmed by all of the new terminology also. Type in "marketing glossary" into the help bar at the top of the page. Zed( Smartketeer) has many glossaries for the different aspects of affiliate marketing and they have helped me immensely.
Make a living, make a difference.

That's the spirit Maggie. I knew you could embrace that inner ninja from high school and put her to work again. You are strong and will not only survive, but thrive.
I have felt the same way as you many times in the last 20 years and also had no moral support. I just kept busy and tried not to think about it too much but that was not an ideal way to handle things. I'm in a better place now, having found this.
Keep at this Maggie. We are all behind you here and cheering you on.
I am exactly in the same deep water with you and sometimes it feels like there are no boats in site.
But then Waite: what do I see is it a boat; no its WA community with all the help we can handle.
Truthfully I tried going through the training and got frustrated so I tried to start the Boot Camp training. What a mess I was in, and then top it off with being chosen for the SAC 2019.
So now I am just starting all over with a brand new site and taking each step at my own pace. Don't rush through, work at your comfortable pace and complete each lesson and all the tasks.
Best advice I can give you.
If you get stuck, have a question any problem at all reach out to WA members through blog, PM, or Live Help. you will get help and lots of it. Good Luck Wayne
Wayne,
I am so grateful you are here and understand my emotional rollercoaster ride in confusion.
My tears are saturating my dry face because I must have needed your kind words today. Odd, I feel so lost but I know where I am in a safe place here.
God Bless You and Yours!
Enjoy the training, and remember we all do this at our own speed, it is not a competition. I often find myself going back over training, and still though I think I have it I doubt I will be able to redo some of this stuff for a second website without using the training. Good luck, keep us informed of your progress.
