Some of the long-time WA members might remember the times when WA had a forum. Well, I somehow stumbled upon that old forum today and had a blast reading posts from 2007-2008..

I also found my own post from early 2008 and decided to copy/paste it here in order to share it with you:

First $400+ Day!!! (3 month at WA)

Hey Guys and Gals!

I have been a WA for at bit over 3 month... without any previous IM experience.
When I look at my CB account, I still can't believe it, but here it is:

This post makes me smile because it brings back that initial excitement to me. However, it also brings back some other things I'd like to share.

When I first joined WA, I lived WA. I slept, ate and drank WA. Although I only spent a few hours a week creating stuff, I probably spent 60hours+ reading and learning. I went through thousands of threads on Wealthy Affiliate forum, I read and researched every single resource WA had to offer.

Then I would take action. Learn something new - apply it right away. Learned about SEO? Edit the site right away. Learn how to add images to a blog post? Edit old blog post and add images there. Action Action Action!

Back then I simply wanted to succeed and I was VERY motivated to never go back to a 9-to-5 job. That "hate" towards a "job" gave me motivation and I kept doing whatever WA told me to do until I made my first sale. Then I realized that I just had to keep doing whatever I am doing because if I made 1 sale I can certainly make more sales...

I might be repetitive because I have already posted in my other posts: TAKE MASSIVE ACTION as often as you possible can.

Do not try to create a perfectly looking website or find that one amazing keyword phrase - because perfect doesn't exist. The more time you spend looking for "perfection" the less time you have to take action.

I really hope this post will be helpful to some of you, fellow WA'ers.
