Alright guys, I've got some tough love to express today to the entire community. The tough love involves showing you the mistakes I ALWAYS see most people make and if you seriously stop making these mistakes, you're going to be successful.

1. Stop. RUSHING.

Ex: There is no way a newbie to WA can go through the get started course (level 1) in 1 day and tell me they did everything. This is a total lie and I see people claim this, I go "-_-" because I know what will come next is tons of questions about stuff that is already answered inside the training if they JUST took their time.

People who rush through always miss out on learning the core things and that accumulates questions further down and that forces them to backtrack to get back into it but unfortunately many people who realize that instead of going back try to push through and it only hurts them so they quit thinking it's WA's fault, when really, it's theirs.

2. Stop chasing shiny IM products.

They are all crap. I've met members who tried WA for a short while, then went on to chase a product that promised them six figures in 30 days. I've also met other people who have been here for over a year who STILL do this.

Legend has it they are still searching for that unicorn of a fast paying IM product.

People: To succeed in business takes HARD work. WA's certification and bootcamp courses give you the hard work strategy to use. You have to complete each task and really let every lesson sink in.

3. Stop procrastinating!

Maybe you doubt if WA works, maybe you have other stuff in your life that's distracting you but I find a lot of people who sit down and see that there is a lot of hard work to this feel overwhelmed.

You have to push through this negative feeling and know that

4. Stop asking questions the training already has the answers to:

How do we get traffic?

How do I make six figures in this business?

How do I start an email list?

Can I make a full time income? (Hint: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/vitaliyg/blog/can-...)

The answer is: DO THE TRAINING!

You: "Omg Vitaliy, so you're telling me that all the questions I have about making money online are answered there?"

Me: Um yes. It's what all the pros in WA have been saying for YEARS.

Again this is people who jump the gun instead of going through the training and we know what this leads to...

5. Stop jumping from niche to niche.

A good niche site takes months of hard work and dedication to turn into something that will make you money but most people never get there because they feel it's not going to make money, they get bored of it or they want that quick cash so they look for niches they think will get them there.

Stick to 1 niche, the one you love and dedicate yourself to it. Don't let the other worries set in. Stick to YOUR niche.

I was jumping around like this and it never led to anything stable until I did bootcamp for at least 6 months and saw what happened:

6. Stop doubting the system and putting others down.

I ran into a pleasant gentlemen in chat who was belittling other members and asking them stuff like "how much have you made?" "Why aren't you making money yet?" "how does it work if you've been here so long and don't have anything to show for it"

These are all condescending questions that I want to explain:

Money in this business comes after you did the work so the first sign of your success is taking the right steps which is where WA's training leads you through.

Most people never get through step 1, they immediately jump on the money band wagon thinking this is how it works, but without the right things set, you'll never make it that far.

So if you're new in WA, are having your doubts, know the system is excellent in it's design and you are doing the right things.

The tree only grows when you plant the seeds and water it. That's how your business will be made.

So don't let those kinds of people fool you or deviate you from reaching your goals. Stick to the training.

7. If you haven't completed and done all the tasks in the training courses, do NOT deviate to other places. Hell, don't it at all lol.

If you really do the training, all the tasks, take advice from the webinars, you're going to have MORE than enough.

8. Stop doing it your way if you haven't done the training.

Don't go against the tide that is the training. Again people who get into this, rush things or maybe from previous places think they know what to do, they just immediately start doing that instead of the training.

Are we surprised that if the previous training failed, led them to WA, and they continued the old ways, that they failed too? No, if you're coming into the training with a mindset of how you're going to do things, make sure it fits in line with the training.
