Hello world. So what comes next?

Good evening everyone. Entering into day two of this experiment/endeavor into the vast unknown of the internet, I have decided on two things:

1) Being that I am a Marine Corps veteran I do not know how to accomplish something half way. In my opinion, that's not accomplishing anything. So with that said I am going into this full force. No excuses, no regrets Rah!

2) I will contribute as much as I soak up. With this community already, I can sense a togetherness. As if everyone is working towards the same goal, and in doing so, working towards each others success. That is something I will not take for granted. I understand that as of now my place may be to follow and learn, but I am a leader and once I have something to give back I will.

On that note, the portion of training that I am currently on places emphasis on the act of physically inputting your goals on some medium other than your brain. So in the spirit of numbers #1 and #2 above, my goals are as follows:

10 DAY GOAL - I have a website created in a niche I picked out based on research learned in training. I have also created my first content.

30 DAY GOAL - I have had 1000 visitors to my website and I am learning about methods to develop stronger consistent traffic.

6 MONTH GOAL - I have gotten my site ranked to google in some capacity, and I have a subscriber email list of at least 1000. My traffic has steadily increased, and I have better conversion ratings than previous months.

1 YEAR GOAL - I have consistent email marketing campaigns going. My first website is not my only website anymore, as I am applying the last years knowledge towards duplication. This is without neglecting my original creation. I have published my first product on helping others duplicate what I am learning through Wealthy Affiliate.

You may notice that each goal is written in present tense. This is a technique I learned from an old mentor growing up. He taught me the importance of writing goals in present tense. This is so every time you read them each morning and night, you hear it as if it is happening to you now. This helps you maintain focus and internal motivation as you can trick your brain into believing these things are happening in the present, thus propelling you further towards your intended goals.

Anyways, I did not intend for this to be as long as it was, however I am glad I spent the time on it as I hope this can be a nice precursor to the quality of content everyone can receive by helping spread the word and get my name out once this thing goes live this week!

To everyone's success! Both continuing and burgeoning.
