So Your Are WA-Weary and Only a Few Weeks In?

No Fireworks Yet?

You followed the steps, see no results, and you don't care to get back to it.

What you are experiencing is expected. The only thing needed is a switch of perspective.

This is not a job where you submit an application, follow some instructions which represent a minute segment of a larger company process, then get a paycheck in a couple of weeks. Instead, this is entrepreneurial.

You enthusiastically started a project where you followed steps which should lead to your monetary goal. But then at some point it's just not so sexy anymore.

What Happened?

Similar to farming.

A farmer (back in the day when they had more control over what they did and less imposed on them by government and food scientists) would be all energy - planting seeds in a prepared field.

Then what happenned?

Nothing, seemingly.

The next morning, nothing. No plants popping out of the ground.

But, does the farmer abandon the field?

Of course not. Is he as excited and hopeful. Well . . .

Know the Process

It's more of a knowing that if he continues to water and whatever other relevant stuff he does, all is well. He understands germination. "Germination is the process in which a seed changes from a state of dormancy (just a seed) to a growing, living plant," (Hunker). It needs time and continued nurturing.

That's where you are now in the process of fulfilling your expectations via WA: That period where you don't see how what you just did gets you 'the money.'

The farmer couldn't see it either, and won't for several weeks. But, she knows.

Things Aren't What They Seem

How do we know that the farmer didn't just abandon the field then got a shock several weeks later when the crops started to push through the ground?

On a small farm we may see scarecrows or inflatable humanoid shapes for scaring the birds digging up the seeds. On larger farms the budget may allow for ultrasonic repellent, a motion activated system or other protective systems.

Is the farmer crazy for protecting a field which appears dead or unchanged despite all the effort and energy she has invested? No.

Why the protection. His expectation.

Why the expectation. His knowing.

Why the knowing. His invested efforts.

Why the investment. It's proven.

Others have successfully done the same.

Your Next Move

Review the lessons as needed, ask specific questions to ensure your time is spent carrying out

the right activities; attend the Friday night training or watch the archived classes; check out some tips from your peers (WA community).

All that goes toward forming good entrepreneurial habits, becoming an expert (or matching with a niche that better pleases you), and allows you to continuously develop on this journey to the money.
