Have you noticed how often new members comment about rushing through the training?

Have you felt the frustration of wanting to curb that energy and to focus it in on developing the skills, rather than just checking off the assignments?

Imagine, if there was a story of someone who mastered the lessons one at a time and it all worked out!

Sadly, I am not that person.

When I joined WA in July 2014, I had already built a number of small websites for various purposes. So I thought I just needed to learn a little bit more and this would be the way.

I rushed through the training, checking off the assignments, but not really learning anything. Certainly not developing any level of skill.

That may explain why my website is not ranking.

So now, my goal is to get back to basics, and start to develop the skills by repeated practice.

I want to be able to say, "if I can do it, you can too." That even includes being able to say, "I had to start over -- so can you."

all the best,
