WA-Ready? IM-Ready?
Last Update: August 02, 2012
Things were looking very up for some time and about two weeks ago took an abrupt turn. Am I WA-ready, or better put, am I socially ready to meet the challenges of Internet marketing? I realize this is now a bit different than what was here, but essentially the same thing and certainly comes down to being able to function inside this industry.
In one week's time, outside, I was dismissed from many things.
I had used my GoPro camera at an inopportune time, causing the loss of a job.
I changed my scheduling so I could work my campaigns in my prime. That didn't go over very well, so I lost my other job.
I lost my business relationship with my landlord and indication that vacating is near.
I had used the wrong choice of words on here that led up to the loss of powerful friendships.
I complained about it all.
Just a week before all this happened, I felt like I was on a roll here and beginning to really move along. It all came down like a house of cards. I need to be using something besides cards to build with.
I'm really up in the air as to whether it would be a good thing or not to leave the membership right now until I can learn how to socialize properly and not as it is.
Someone on here remitted that "Time heals." yes, I know, but in light of the week, I seems late for that. I have to do something completely different, starting from scratch again.

Welcome to WA. Some times it is hard to play with others, it is a art at times.and at time you must reprogram your self. But remember you attract what you are.

It is definitely an art and very little of it initially came naturally to me. I take reputation very seriously, something to be carefully guarded. I've been here about two and one-half years. I learned most of what I know about online interaction right here. I'm still learning.

And I quote from your words below:
"I do have the knowledge
I do have the tools
I do have the drive"
So, what are you waiting for? :) Come jump on the WA wagon and ride with us!!
Repeat those three lines every morning when you get up and every night before you go to bed. Let the reprogramming begin!

I reconciled one of my friends. I am V-E-R-Y happy! I do have issues with the fear of rejection due to past events and right now, the greatest answer from praying came today! I am very relieved and charged up from it. I appreciate my four new friends on here who have been advising and comforting me. I hope that as I develop myself to living as an Internet marketer and not just an aspiring one with PTSD. This one thing takes over at times changing perceptions and it sneaks up. Achievement is the only thing that is going to fix this, and you can rest assured that I place a LOT of value on this membership, not only for my support, but something I can be proud and be a part of something I believe in.
The point below was made about the nature of online communities. I know this and fully respect it, knowing what can happen.
I may have fallen off, but I'm back on again for another round.

Daniel you need to go watch m(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=pzLqoQ34Jzs. You have the tools the resources and now the time. You have many here willing to help and tons of examples online of what to follow. The question to yourself as you look in the mirror is NOT "CAN I" it is "I WILL DO AND I CAN DO " what I need to do to make a better life for myself. Not merely give up and quit while you are on the edge of great success!

I finally got it to open but it's really tiny, I guess for mobile devices. What I'm listening to now is coaching. I just got the part about being on the edge of success and not sleeping when it comes.

Hi Dan, I know it's an old cliche but please count the blessings you have, and I am sure there are many, rather than those you have just lost for whatever reason. There are many ways past the current situation you find yourself in and the perceived need you have identified. Approaches such as a mentor, one day classes in social media , email writing etc, are all available. If I can help at all please just let me know,
Hang in there,
Hudson

I got to where I wasn't even thinking about any of those things, and just moving forward, and seeing results in the numbers. Whap! It is there to throw one back into ready awareness that he's not quite out of the woods yet. I know there are ways around just about anything. Some things, however get very old and it sets me off.
I have been to your Bio. Looks you're doing okay here. Eastern US and Canada are the only regions I've been.

Dan,
Please remember that most people, even at their best, and especially in cyberspace, are instantly responding in the heat of the moment.
Whoever you may have offended may or may not forgive you, I do not know the circumstance.
However, I do know that W.A. is bringing creative minds in everyday. New members with bright bold ideas that you can connect with.
So you may have lost old powerful connections. Are they the only ones on earth? I say a resounding NO.
Again, I don't know the circumstances, or who you are referring to.
All I am saying is, despite the circumstances, don't lose hope.
You have a wealth of knowledge to build on along with mistakes you'll never make again.
Also, remember, you don't have to advertise your life here. I started doing that and decided its not such a great idea. Many people just don't give a you know what. They perceive it as whining even when you put it out there in a positive light as "look what's happening to me and I'm still going forward with W.A. and my life, etc.."
So I say hang in there if this is your passion.
You have the knowledge, the tools, the drive.
God bless.

If I had a mentor that would be far better than disclosing things online.
It's not aesthetically pleasing I know. I have *not* attempted expressing myself publicly much before coming here, so in many ways, I'm still very green with this sort of thing.
WA is also entirely where my social interaction is, just about all of it right here and pretty much the rest in SA. I do not socialize in my FB account. I forget about the online heat of the moment and how people deal with it.
As for losing friends, that is never anything I've been able get over very quickly, especially when not given reason. I realize that life just starts over at any moment, but after working so hard, loss is frustrating ...especially when it comes from making the same mistake over again ...and the loss repeats.
I do have the knowledge
I do have the tools
I do have the drive
I still don't have social skills. I wouldn't be where I am now if I had these.
I think I would then have business social skills as well.
The one thing I really wish I had been more serious about when I had it, was when my mother tried to put me through the Dale Carnegie Course. When I took it, I was not ready for it and really bombed it.
What does a person do when he/she has been so ingrained to think a certain way? I 'd trade my writing skill any day for social skill. Social without writing can get a person by. Writing without social will get a person nowhere. Having both goes without saying.
