Sitting here with tears rolling down my face and my heart aching all I can think about is giving up. I have one site up and it has been only 3 weeks that I started this adventure, but it is so hard to keep it moving.

Why I Feel This Way

I really don't like feeling this way, but it is so hard when there is no food in my house, bills just keep piling up and facing eviction. Although, I have a part-time job that by the way I hate, and yes, I know I should feel thankful. But the truth is that this job only pays a little of the bills and not all.

My job takes some of the time when I should be here writing and creating more blogs, I have a fiance whose mission is to have me avoid sitting here on my computer. He doesn't do it on purpose he just thinks that I m just sitting here doing nothing, or playing some random game and/or reading the feeds on my Facebook.

Also, he'll talk to me every five to ten minutes about something he heard, saw on TV, or something that happened at work. Oh yea, then he'll want me to sit with him and watch some movie and if I don't he'll complain that I don't spend time with him because I am on the PC and he is only about 5 feet away from where I am sitting.

So I try to get on and work on my blog when I am home from work and he is at his job. The good thing is that He is off on weekends and I get random days off.

WA Affiliate

WA Affiliate is an awesome program, but I am afraid that along the way I won't be able to keep on paying for my premium, just because of the time that I am able to put on here. Everyone here have been so helpful to me and have it there mission to help those in distress like myself.

I am not saying that I am giving up but at this very moment I feel that there is no way out, I am not seeing the end result of all of this even with the little time that I do have. I need to come up with a different approach but I can not seem to find it, and I am really trying so hard to think of a way out.

NEED SOME MOTIVATION AND INSPARATION

Question For You All

At times of distress and of giving up, what do you do to keep on going?

I feel your pain. But I have some suggestions for you.

1. Set your mind to believe that quitting is not an option. You may think about it, but it is not something you can ever act on.

2. set boundaries-It is important to spend time with your finance. Each day write down your goals, let him know what they are and when you plan to spend time with him.

3. if this time is not good enough then ask him what he would like. Hopefully, the two of you can come up with a plan together.

4. Let your fiance know your website is your second job and the eviction notice is right around the corner. He then has 2 choices.
a. he can go get a second job (you then have more time)
b. Leave you alone so you can earn some money.

5. make sure he knows you are building a business that will take time, but the income you can make will exceed what the 2 of you are making now. (I am assuming this.)

6. realize that you have the right as a human being to have boundaries, and you have the right to stay within your boundaries.

I do hope some of these suggestions help.

Thank you Laura, I do like your suggestion and I we will speak with him and see what we can up with.

Yasmin,

I understand you so well, my husband is against (not really open but he is doing everything to keep me away from the computer) my activity online. He doesn't understand, he doesn't see results, he doesn't believe in this work.

The only way is to stay strong and to organize yourself so that you can still find the peace and the time to work.

It is not easy, however, don't quit.

Warmly,
Anne

Thank you

Hi Yasmin, hard times indeed. Sometimes our timing is just 'off'. Prioritising and a pragmatic approach may be key. WA is phenomenal platform with the offer of huge potential but success does not come overnight and takes time, as others will attest to, unfortunately. I have tried to search for a post I saw a few weeks ago but after half an hour of going through deleted notifications I did not find the one I thought I was after. However, I did find another and if you can ignore the opening paragraph then the rest might help, certainly there are plenty of comments that add to the discussion. Sometimes we're a bit like computers and need to go back to a previous point in time, I refer to your own blog of just five days ago. This was a very upbeat and positive post. I hope you find a solution.

Thank you

Whilst there is little that I can add to what Mel has said, when I struggle I have long meaningful chats with my wife, who too thinks I spend to long at the PC, bur accepts that I am trying to do what you are, that is make a living. You will have to have a long chat with your fiancé, make him realise that it is for your joint future and that he should be supporting you not hindering you.
Hope it works out,
Take care,
Stuart

Thank you

You are welcome.

Hi,

My WA Premium fee is #1 to get paid every month, no exceptions. We're sitting on a gold mine.

Last month, I didn't pay my internet because I didn't have the money. I was disconnected. But I was prepared and kept working offline until we got some cash to reconnect the WIFI.

I will go without food if I have to before I stop WA. You have to be laser focused.

I would even put your fiance on notice. THIS is important to you and although it will take time, it will more than pay off.

I work 24/7 on WA and my fiance knows it is a priority for the next year. I try to give her some time each day, but I am also doing this for US and the baby that's coming next January.

NEVER GIVE UP! Life is testing you. Keep moving forward!

Best wishes!

To Your Success!

Mel

Thank you

I was in a similar situation last summer, I'd had to close my online retail shop business, and was saddled with business debts. So I needed immediate income, but was having no success applying for jobs even with all my business experience. When one of the debtors got a judgment against me I had to sell plasma twice a week just to make my monthly debt bills (thank the Lord my husband pays our regular bills, so I don't have to do that).

I started with WA, did the free month, starting paying the monthly bill, then found a way to come up with the annual Premium fee since that comes out cheaper in the long run. If you get the Labor Day Deal it is even cheaper. I've also been studying the Law of Attraction from the Esther Hicks books and YouTube videos, and that helped me so much I started earning income as a freelance writer in September of last year. Then I had the challenge of not having time to work on WA since all my efforts were towards immediate income - I got a full-time temporary job over the Winter, too.

My freelance work comes and goes, I'm finally doing what I love, and when it lets up (like this summer), I can pour all my writing energies into WA, making the most of it.

I find, as a writer, it helps to go to a coffee shop to write, especially if you don't have an office at home or need to "go to the office" to get your work done unhindered. Or like you said, find times to put in your WA office work when your partner is not around. If you can get into the habit of consistent WA work (daily or weekly), it will pay off.

I hope you're able to find a better part-time job in the meantime. I was grateful I could sell plasma and make $400/month when I had nothing, but I didn't care for it and I'm never going to do that again. Now as a writer I make $40/hour ! (before fees and taxes - and the hours come and go). I love it and I also love that my schedule changes every few months, too.

Thank you Jerilyn
