Obstacles

Hello again my friends, this week I want to talk about obstacles. An obstacle is described as a thing that blocks one’s way or prevents or hinders progress:

Can you believe it’s already Week 9 of building my business from scratch? With the incredible guidance from my mentor Dean Holland, the awesome Affiliate System software and support of Internet Profits staff, I’m feeling beyond excited and proud of what I’ve accomplished so far!

What I have accomplished:

Set up WordPress for my “owned asset”: This blog.

Created Domain Name for my owned asset.

Added email to my Domain.

Created a List Building Funnel. This was probably the most exciting. I will post a separate blog on this for you.

Focus on our Primary and Secondary fan focus. This is also another exciting post that I plan to follow up on.

I am currently finishing up Week 8, which was last week. This was to set up my Linktree. What is a Linktree you may ask.

Linktree is a freemium social media reference landing page¹that allows you to create a personalized and customizable page that houses all the important links that you want to share with your audience²³. It is most often used in conjunction with social media sites like Instagram which make it difficult to share links to external sites³. Linktree was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia¹. It is made to provide a landing page for a person or company’s entire associated links in social media, which rarely allows linking multiple sites¹.

This definition was retrieved from this website.

Imagine it like a tree – your main page is the trunk, and the leaves represent links to all your other social media platforms like Fb, Instagram, YouTube, Quora, and more. The cool part? You can have multiple links on one page. Pretty exciting, right? Initially, I thought, “Oh boy, this might be tricky,” but with a bit of guidance, it turned out to be not so tough. Sure, I hit a few obstacles along the way, but nothing I can’t handle!

1st Obstacle.

My first little obstacle involved setting up my Linktree and grabbing the links for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Initially, I thought, “Piece of cake,” but it turned out to be a tad trickier than expected. See, when I usually visit my FB, Instagram, or YouTube, I never really paid attention to the URLs. But once I cracked the code, it became a breeze. Facebook was the trickiest; my link was directing me straight to profile editing, not something I’d want to share with the internet world. Spent a good chunk of hours untangling that web before the lightbulb moment. It’s funny how we take logging into our accounts for granted without really understanding the algorithm magic behind it. I can proudly say I’m now wiser in that department!

2nd Obstacle.

And then life threw a curveball. My second obstacle was a bit more somber – I lost my dear aunt at the age of 91. She was an absolute gem of a soul. Family, you know, it’s one of those pillars of life. In times like these, being there for family becomes the top priority. This amazing lady happened to be my mother’s sister, so I’ve spent the entire week by my mom’s side, offering support as she navigates through this tough time.

This little hiccup did throw a wrench into my plans for the week, and I even missed my blog deadline. But you know what? No beating myself up over it. I just hopped back into the groove whenever I could. We all have those daily and weekly to-dos, and it’s easy to feel a bit disappointed when they don’t go as planned. But here’s the thing – giving ourselves a bit of grace, not getting all worked up, can make a world of difference. Life’s a journey, right?

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ” Michael Jordan, American professional basketball legend.

I stumbled upon this quote during the week, and it worked wonders in helping me navigate through the challenges in both my business and current life situation. Sharing it here with the hope that it might offer you the same boost if you’re facing obstacles in your business or life right now. We’re all in this together!

Conclusion.

Hey, when we hit a roadblock, it’s all about pushing forward, even if it means falling a bit behind in our goals or tasks. Everyone’s got their own pace, right? The important thing is we’ll get those tasks done, maybe just a tad later than planned. Keep going, you’ve got this!

Have you faced any recent obstacles? How did you overcome them? Please leave me a comment as I would love to hear from you.

Till next time.
