Life is full of ups and downs and that is probably what makes it so exciting.  Always changing and most of us just go with the flow.  However, what if you feel like you have been "unplugged" or like a car that has been stalled out for months and months?  I'm talking about the ability to move ahead with my marketing, or for that matter, even keeping up with the changes that have taken place here at WA. Yes, life got in the way for me.  I am taking care of my fou

Have you ever felt like you are out in left field and all the balls are being hit to right field?  That's what I feel like in the article marketing field.  There are so many changes going on with Google, EZine, Squidoo, and others too.  It's just when you think you are getting a handle on things in this business and could be making some money that the Powers-To-Be change the rules.  Now I have a few personal strategies, one of which is just to pack it all in cut my losses.&n

Well the world didn't come to an end, but the mid West suffered so much.  Tornadoes are unexpected and unforgiving...kind of like the earthquakes in California that scared the crap out of me. We all are dealing with our own crisis situations.  How we deal with them is what forms our character as a person and as a marketer.  I could have waved the white flag and gave up a long time ago because of this reason or that.  But I didn't because I know this is where I belong and I ha

I have been with WA almost 2 years this time and 2 years the time before.  Okay, I got stupid and thought it was an expense we we could do without.  Cobwebs were clouding my judgement obviously! Now I have learned that this place is a blessing....one which should be celebrated everyday.  I mean...look what we have here! All the tools and support we will ever need.   How about the education  and coaching ?  Everyday is like opening a present because there is always s

  Snow has finally melted here in  Central Minnesota, Spring is here one day and it's freezing the next.  Sort of goes with my writing abilities right now.  One day I can go like gang busters and the next day I can't even think of my own name.....let alone anything to write.  But now, two months short  of my 2 year anniversary back here at WA, I realize that my passions can not be spread over many too many things at once.  I lose focus and then am not good at a

 Does your inbox sometimes gather too many emails?   You know the ones. . . . . . you throw your name and email address in a little box so that you can get a free report, newsletter or short lesson.   That's right, the same way you collect  addresses for your LIST!  Then they all become so overwhelming that you end up just deleting most of them anyway. Sure glad I didn't delete this email I received from Travis today.  Holy cow, it was so good it sent a warm fu

If everything came easy for us, then we wouldn't be the people we are today.  Am I right?  The challenges of making it in this IM business can be totally overwhelming.  So what do we do?  How can we at least feel like we have a grasp on this business when we have nothing to show for it? Frustration is felt by almost everybody who is building a IM business.  Finding answers to my questions has been mind boggling.  I feel like there is so much detail to be remembered

Not everyone is perfect and sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves and move on.  I just posted a buddy message to myself by accident when I meant to blog!  Crazy, rushed and just not paying attention.  Kind of like my article writing has been going here lately!  What a rollercoaster! Have you ever found yourself just not in the mood to write articles?  Nothing enters your head, you don't want to sit here, there's too many other things to do or just too many distrac

YeeeeHawwwww!  My ONE YEAR anniversary of being back with WA is today!  Even though it has been a year that has been short on earnings, it has been rich with learning.  It is amazing when everything just starts to click! Am I discouraged that business isn't better?  Not really. I know that all I have to do is continue with my article marketing strategy and it will all be good----soon! What I have problems with are the people who are so impatient that they fail before they can

I'm coming up on my 1 yr anniversary here at WA, for the second go around.  Yes, I let people in my head and threw in the towel right after the the membership increased to $39.  For some reason I didn't think I was getting enough out of WA. That was a big mistake.  One I learned from.   Coming back to WA was the best thing this old gal could do.  You don't have to hit me on the head twice to realize that this is the best learning center out there.   With every
