Lessons Learned From a Scale That Doesn't Lie

Earlier today, after I got off of the treadmill, I looked down at the scale to see where I was at. My hope is that the number always goes down, but today was not that day. In fact, it was slightly higher than what I hoped for. Sometimes I will even step off the scale only to step back on for a "second opinion". I tried that today and there was no change!

I then had to ask myself, did I do anything between today and yesterday that would deserve a change in the numbers. Did I run farther? Was I more active? Did I eat healthier? Did I eat less? Sadly my answer was no on all accounts! It gave me a moment to stop and think. Am I learning something here?

The answer was YES! I had to realize that my weight is not going to go down if I'm not going to do anything about it. I can't simply wish that my weight would come off, I have to do something about it.

In the same way, I see many people, including myself, who have dreams and goals of making money through Welathy Affiliate. Some, simply to get by from day to day and others to accumulate millions. Regardless of the goals, they all require doing something. Wishing you become a millionaire will not change the numbers.

This week I got stuck as I contemplated what I should write for my content in Lesson Two of my training. I could either get discouraged or I could do something. I chose to do something about it!

Although I have only been here a couple weeks I decided to create a list for those of you who are just starting out and wondering what you can do to get things moving!

1. Pray, This is a powerful place to start!
   
2. Start Following People- There are so many wonderful people on WA to learn from
3. Follow People Back- When someone follows you, show appreciation by following back
4. Hit the "Like" Button-This is a great way to encourage people and move up the ranks
5. Create a Post -Write about your experiences, offer encouragement, share some training
6. Follow the Training- Regardless of where you are at, keep learning more.
7. Improve your Website- Keep working to make it the best it can be.
8. Ask Questions- This is a great way to learn from really experienced people on WA
9. Watch a Webinar by Jay from Magistudios - They are very informative and helpful!
10. Comment on Blogs and Questions- It gets your name out there and will help you to learn
11. Get on WA Daily!- Even if it's only for a few minutes, it will help!

**I realize that there are many more actions to add to this list, but it's a start.

The bottom line of all of this is that "the scale doesn't lie". If you do nothing, you can expect those results, and if you DO something you just might find the success you are hoping for.

So, what are the things that you DO to help bring you success. Feel free to add to my list.
