If you’re just checking in, I am blogging regarding my experience with my Wealthy Affiliate membership. I hope you find the posts useful.
Last night I was reading through more of the 8 Week Action Plan material. I learned something, but I guess that’s the point right? No, actually, I learned something, or rather realized something, that was not in the plan. As I was reading through the plan, I was learning all sorts of things, which I rather enjoyed; but I realized something else.
I’ve actually come up with what I would recommend to be a small modification to the 8 Week Action Plan. You see, when you first start the plan, you are encouraged to dive into the members only forum, introduce yourself, leave at least three posts in the forum, read through the stickies in the $500 Challenge forum, etc. So, like a good trainee, I followed the recommendation and did quite a bit of reading in the forum. Naturally, reading about other people’s experiences and successes is quite fascinating.
The thing is, however, that when you read through the forums, you get really excited like a little kid in a candy store and just want to jump right in and start doing some marketing. Unless you are using free methods of marketing, it can be somewhat risky to do that at this early point in your training. Another issue that you are confronted with when reading through the forum is you have about a thousand questions pop into your head. I was perplexed because I didn’t understand half of what everyone was talking about. I was compelled to start posting all of my questions in the forum, and I could see other newbies posting similar questions in the forum as well. I refrained from posting questions because the number of questions I had seemed overwhelming. And, I knew that those questions would beget other questions which would beget other questions and so on and so forth.
With somewhat of a sigh of resignation, I decided to just get back to working through the material in the 8 Week Action Plan. At this point, I’m finishing up the Week 2 material and moving into the Week 3 material. As I continued working through the 8 Week Action Plan, the realization that I had was almost comical. All of my questions were being answered by the material in the 8 Week Action Plan! Imagine that!
I was thinking, “Cool, now I don’t have to post all of these questions in the forum.” After that, as you can imagine, I was even more motivated to continue working through the 8 Week Action Plan as I realized that the vast majority of my questions would be answered. The 8 Week Action Plan really is quite comprehensive, which I guess is the whole point. The material there was covered so thoroughly, that I found myself having very few if any at all questions unanswered.
So, the moral of the story kids is this: Just stick to the plan. That’s what it’s there for.
Thanks for reading, and stay encouraged!
