I find myself getting discouraged early on in 2021. Feels like my debt is getting larger and larger while I am still trying to find focus. Thankfully I do have a day job that helps me survive and pay the bills, but living paycheck to paycheck is not how I want to live. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and things WILL get better for me. However, I get really down when I try to start something and feel like I have a great idea, but not enough support. In fact, I feel like I am a one-man business. No one else will do it but me so I am holding my own feet to the fire…however it is much easier to just sit on my butt and watch The Office instead of even try to keep building. I know I have seen results before, but I am still not finding that sweet spot for balancing my 40 hour a week job with my personal life, family life, and trying to start an online business.
My first attempt I do have is the beginning of an Amazon affiliate store. I started and even have 20+ posts on the blog already. However, I did some google searches and even though the site is VERY BRAND NEW, I was extremely discouraged because my site is nowhere to be found. In fact, I am doubtful to even hit the top 10 search results for my niche. That has me wondering so early if I am not cut out for this. I mean come on, thousands upon thousands of dollars spent just to try and make a little money online. I feel I can still do it…but my confidence and faith have been shaken.
However, I am still here and still not giving up. I am going to keep fighting and see this through. At the end of this year, we will count the income and go from there. I guess you never know unless you give it your all. I am committed to doing just that!
Stay tuned, I will be letting you see my first attempts soon and who knows…maybe from my spinning my wheels in the mud we can find some hidden treasure along the way. I just hope that my posts entertain and inspire you who are reading this.
