I recently stumbled upon a fascinating nugget of wisdom from Kyle of Wealthy Affiliate that really got the wheels in my brain turning. He mentioned something in a post about the average number of pages on websites around the internet. Now, hold your horses, because this post isn’t about that statistic – it’s a revelation about human nature and success.
The Eye-Opening Fact
So, what’s the big reveal? The average number of pages on a website is surprisingly low. But here’s the kicker: Kyle pointed out in response to a member’s comment, “Yeah, it is lower than one would think. But in all reality, very few people that ‘start’ something (like a website), really do anything with it as very few people give themselves adequate time to actually succeed.”
The Start-Stop Syndrome
This comment hit me like a cup of strong coffee on a Monday morning. It’s so true! Many of us are guilty of starting projects with a bang and then fizzling out when things get a bit rocky. Websites are no exception. They start with grand visions but often end up as digital ghost towns. Why? Because we’re all too quick to throw in the towel when the going gets tough.
When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going
The road to success is littered with “Shortcut” and “Get Rich Quick” signs. It’s tempting to take these detours, but they usually lead to dead ends. So here’s a fun twist to consider: when you feel like giving up, that’s a good sign! It means you’re at a point where many others have quit. If you push through, you’re already ahead of the game. Remember, your competition isn’t just other websites; it’s human nature itself.
Wealthy Affiliate: Your Cheerleader and Coach
One of the coolest things about Wealthy Affiliate is how they get this. They support you with regular success and motivation posts. They’re like your digital cheerleading squad, always there to remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. Everyone starts from zero – every website, every success story. It’s like a video game where we all start at level one. But not everyone makes it to the boss level. Those who do are the ones who kept grinding, kept learning, and kept believing.
So, Who Do You Want to Be?
It’s a question worth thinking about over a coffee or during a long walk. Do you want to be the person who gave up when the first obstacle appeared? Or do you want to be the one who stuck it out and crafted a success story?
Remember, every successful website started as a blank canvas. Every internet guru was once a beginner. What’s the difference between them and the ones whose dreams remain as drafts? Persistence, patience, and a pinch of stubbornness.
So, let’s raise our virtual glasses to the journey ahead, to the bumps in the road, and to the sweet taste of success that awaits those who dare to keep moving forward. Who do I want to be? I want to be the one who made it, and I bet you do too. Let’s get to it!
Happy creating, and remember, every page you add to your website is a step closer to your success story. 🚀💻🌟
