My first success story with WA!
So, I stumbled across Nathaniell's web page, One More Cup of Coffee, by accident on Feb. 12. On Feb. 13, I signed up for the WA freee 7-day trial membership. On Feb. 14, I identified my niche. This morning, I made the move to Premium, and just now I completed lesson 4, purchased my domain, and created my first website; no content yet of course, but it is LIVE! I even googled it to be sure it was real :)!! I seriously never in a million years imagined that I would do something like this. I mean, my high school teacher passed me in C++ Programming out of pity, and my friends and family jokingly (okay they're serious) tell me I am the least technologically savvy person they know. So, this is HUGE!
However, I'm not writing this per say to highlight what I have achieved. Rather, I am writing this because I really want to say thank you. Thank you to Nathaniell for encouraging me to give WA a try. Thank you to Kyle and Carson for the creation of the site and ongoing support. And, thank you to every single one of the WA community members that took the time to reach out to welcome me, or to just say hi, or offer words of encouragement and advise. You all are truly amazing!!
From the bottom of my heart, I encourage anyone still wondering if "this is real," anyone new to the community, anyone looking for a renewed sense of motivation, really anyone, reading this to know that this truly is a wonderful community and you are going to love it. Now, I am only 4 days in, so of course have made NO money yet, and am more than comfortable with the fact that I know this will take a lot more hard work and TIME. Besides the harder you work for something the more you appreciate it. But, you know what, I am so happy right now, that even if the money is slow to come, I can simply rest in the fact that I have learned something new, and accomplished something that I never thought I would.

I feels good when you take the plunge.. Just like swimming instead of watching someone swim. We are in the class of 2016.
Yea I got the same feeling when my site went live, as I'm only 7 days in, I remember the feeling perfectly, good luck.
Yes! this is amazing journey to all of us. We are learning each other and at the same time we help each other out. Love your story :-)
Wishing you the best in life and success here at WA.
Much bless,
Julius
I second that encouragement. I'm new too, and the supportive community I've found here is really overwhelming (in a good way).
I feel the same way, especially after going through a hard season in life recently, the WA community is a breath of fresh air. I'd hang here even if I wasn't going to make money! I'm happy you are moving right along in the program.
Haha, I thought the same thing! Of course we all want to make money at this eventually, I am just amazed at how fun it is even when you're not :) I hope all is well on your end too, Jayson!!
