I Quit.

Yep you heard me right: I quit. So… maybe I do have your attention now. Just need to correct one thing: I’m not really thinking about quitting, I’m thinking about quitting to want to quit.

Let me explain. As some of you may have read on Facebook, for the past 3-4 days now I’ve been having ongoing issues accessing my blog. I’ve been speaking with my web hosting company, Cloudflare, even my internet provider trying to find out why and how to correct a “403 forbidden” error code that is always popping up when I try to either go onto my blog or enter and log into WordPress.

From the couple of hours after this all started to pretty much now when I’m writing this blog entry, everything  seemed to point to only one solution: quitting.

Well, to be honest, it’s not that I didn’t think about quitting so much as getting mad – I never did think about quitting though. Why? Well.. first off, too much invested here! LOL!

Seriously though, things like this will happen at every turn when you have a business. I’d rather have this issue than to face the situation where I had a friend of mine who also has an online business who had both his Google Ad account and Facebook Ad account suspended — for no specific reason – and him trying desperately to save his business because now he just couldn’t place any ads. Long story short, he was able to get his accounts back up and running – he was never told though WHY they had been suspended.

Back to my current situation; let’s face it: getting mad wasn’t even an option. I knew that it wouldn’t change anything and it sure wouldn’t solve my issue.

Speaking of which, you’re probably wondering: “so if you can’t access your WordPress login, how did you get this blog post up Marc?” Well, truth be told, I wrote down and made a list of things I could try that could help me resolve the issue, like using different browsers, different computers I have here at home and after going through all of them one by one, pretty much the last one was to use a VPN to sign in and voilà! success. (Now if only I had thought of putting THAT as 1st thing to try…).

So the moral of the story here – without wanting to go and sound too philosophical, it’s that things you can’t control will happen and those things will hinder your road to success and there’s nothing you can do about it but just drive on.

I usually start my days by reading  a Daily Motivation phrase or word and a few days ago, I just couldn’t stop laughing because I truly believe that someone was really having a great time either on my benefit or just because, well, they could laugh at me. The phrase was quite simple, it was a quote from Marilyn Monroe:

“Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together”.

So, in my case, I really just took it as another way to test my patience and more importantly, my perseverance and dedication to my goal of finally making some money with Affiliate Marketing.

So with that being said; I’ll take a look at what this week is bringing. I know that I’ve got to get back on the horse and even more importantly, finally do the Tik Tok videos I had talked about a few weeks ago that I was going to do.

See, sometimes it just takes a little more to get where you want to go but getting there and going through the issues life throws at you makes you stronger and makes you want to work towards those goals even more.

Time to make it even more real by forging on!
