"You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life"

Steve Jobs

When I read this quote it started me thinking. How many times have we all said I am so grateful for that past experience? Knowing that somehow it got us to this moment.

I, for one can really see how my dots have created a path to lead me to Wealthy Affiliate.

Can you see your dots?

And the reason I am asking is just what Steve Jobs said, knowing that we have that capacity to call on our connected dots, leads us to a place of potential. Yes?

So that works for going forward. If we see that each step we are taking is connecting the dots to build a strong infrastructure in our business, then,WOW, we got this, right?

The question is:

WHAT ARE WE DOING TO INSURE THE DOTS ARE WORKING WELL?

1. Spending time to make sure our sites are reader ready and user friendly

2. Doing all we can as we start to build our email list that we have value for our readers

3. Have pop ups that work and are popping in specific to the tone of our site (if you have a meditation site you don't want blaring rock music that shimmies all over the page)

4. How are we choosing to monetize and is it specific to our readers?

5. The Law of Influence (Gogiver Book) Our influence is directly determined by how abundantly we place other people's interests first.

6. Authenticity, are we truly being ourselves with our readers?There is nothing more valuable.

7.Preparing our sales funnel

8. Does our autoresponder follow up letters really show why our readers should want to stop by?

9. Are we leaving links so we can be found? Talk about connecting the dots! LOL

10.Consistency, are we consistent in our blogging , answering comments?

So there we go, if you answered yes to most of this checklist, well pat yourself on the back. Because you are truly seeing the dots form your path to success.

And for me, I truly believe that each day we do this work and learn to earn, we are one step closer to how we see our success.

Or let me say that better..hang on a second here...

Have we prepared ourselves for the inevitable success? Yup, inevitable. If we have done our work, build our infrastructure and learn to earn. There is no way other than up.

So this is the question for the rest of this week, ready?

Are we willing to be willing to :

see, feel, touch, smell, visualize, affirm, grow, stretch, work hard, do what it takes to connect these dots to success?

I think I just heard a really loud roar...must have been you..yes?

Success, it is truly about connecting the dots.

And here at Wealthy Affiliate, we know how to do that. Don't we?

I want to hear your success story this week.

NO matter what it is...

Want to hear my success story this week? Oh sorry, gonna tell it anyway...

It took me two days to get the pop up working for my autoresponder, arggh,you I am going to admit that.

And I knew that there was something so simple that I was missing...but you know what I did? I did not give up.(Honestly was I a happy camper through the process, please don't tell anyone this but, no,nope, no. )

So I literally walked away, took a break each time it did not work. And realized when I was ready to really clear my head, see the end goal... the dots would connect. and guess what?

I figured it out. And then did the happy dance happen...ohhh yes!

That is how we connect the dots to success.

We want it enough, we just do it. yes?

And how great does it feel when we know how to figure things out? That is really how we grow our business.

To me, that is really big time success.

One of my most favorite quotes. I keep it on my desk:
A mountain moves out of the way of the Master, for a Master knows no obstacles.

So we are the Master of our own Universe, and we do not give up, we just figure out another way to get there, yes?

That is why we are here at WA. This is the place to learn about being a Master of Success. (oh, see our our own MS degree.) And we are never doing this alone. There are so many people here in our amazing community ready to answer any questions.

No reason to not succeed. So how do we see ourselves 6 months from now? Yeah, we know that answer. Flowing in success.

Off we go, gotta keep those dots connecting...see you on the next path, OK?

Rock it out!

In peace and gratitude,
