Recapping the first month

This blog post recaps my first month at Wealthy Affiliate. If I remember correctly, I stumbled upon Wealthy Affiliate while looking for a domain name. After that stumble, I tripped and fell in with a truly wonderful community of kind, like-minded people who earn, or want to earn, a viable income working for themselves and help other people achieve that goal if they so desire.

I joined Wealthy Affiliate on 26 June, 2013 - as you all know that allows premium access for 7 days. Well, those were a busy seven days at my JOB and I didn't do much with the information that's accessible for premium members within that first week. Now, I don't know about you but I just hate "locked" content. If I have access to something, I want it ALL!!! So, nearing the end of the seven days, I joined Wealthy Affiliate for one month as a premium member. As it is usual with the excitement of beginnings, my second week saw a flurry of activity! I completed the first two lessons and bought a domain name from 'GoDaddy!'. I read people's Wealthy Affiliate blogs, read the weekly training material, and joined people's network. In the back of my mind I kept thinking…how much time will I spend on my new venture in a month and do I need a one year premium membership. (You already know the answer.)

In my first month I learned a lot and I am inspired by the Wealthy Affiliate community. I do want to thank a few individual members publicly but please know that I THANK YOU ALL for your kindness, your support, and for your generosity. I want to thank Lee Gamelin for his inspiring blogs. The topics are always time-appropriate and so many of the quotes he incorporates in his blogs are thought-provoking. My fave is "Everything I want is standing at the door of my consciousness." I say this every day, time and again. Thanks to Matt Martin for showing me the importance of goal-setting, for being so honest about his weekly goal-setting results, and for not giving up. I enjoy reading Matt's blogs which I find informative, inspiring, and well-written.

Again, I thank each and every person who follows me and those whose network I have joined. Each person gives me something very meaningful as I walk this new path; I hope to do the same, as I journey with you. Lastly, big thanks to Carson and Kyle for making all of this possible. Abundant blessings to you all.

Great quote.."Everything I want is standing at the door of my consciousness."

Very heartfelt words. I couldn't have expressed it better myself. The feelings are mutual about this place. I hope that WA grows 1000 times in size.
Best wishes,
Dave

Wow, Chris! I am so honored by your kind words about me and my blog posts. Let me share my morning affirmation. "The dawn is here, the sun is rising, awaken to your inheritance...everything I want is standing at the door of my consciousness."

So pleased to make your acquaintance here!

Great inspiring post. So glad you took the time to write it. I joined Premium after about a month because I'm like you, I don't like things locked. So I rearranged some personal finances and took the leap. I've been here 7 months now and have no regrets.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, Rick. :) I was a little nervous about hitting the 'publish' button. ;-)
