The Unlikely Ambassador

Today I received the totally unexpected news that I have become the latest Ambassador in this wonderful website called Wealthy Affiliate!

To be honest I still find it slightly hard to believe as I never thought I would ever spend enough time here or contribute enough value to the community to gain such lofty status.

This is why I refer to myself as The Unlikely Ambassador. As I look around the list of current and past ambassadors and feel they probably deserve to be here much more than I do.

It may well be a short-lived thing for me but I will enjoy it while it lasts. I enjoy very much my time spent on the website and I have made some amazing acquaintances here and got to know people that I now regard as true friends.

However my priority has always been on building my business and I will continue to focus primarily on that for as long as it takes to achieve the goals I have set for it.

I tried to think of what I can offer as an ambassador.

I don't really do uplifting and motivational blogs. Heidi, Janie, Lenka, Darren and Mark are so far ahead of me on that score, it's unreal!

I don't do wisdom and eloquence in my writing. Twack, Edwin, Florentino and Joe are the guys to go to there!

I don't do high volume writing and daily updates. Jeff and Keisha are your prolific writers. (I don't know where you guys keep getting the inspiration from!)

I've made some money in my business but I'm not even close to achieving the business success of Nathaniel, Roope, Jerry, Grace or Tiffany

I don't have a huge WA network. I'm not one to follow people for the sake of it. My network is well under 1k. I only follow people that I feel have contributed interesting content as I like to keep my email inbox under some sort of control! (Don't be offended if I am not following you - it just means I haven't discovered your content - yet!)

As I've already said, my focus is first and foremost on building my business. To do that I am always looking for new ideas and new tips and strategies to incorporate into what I do. I learn in a variety of ways and in all sorts of different places. I even have a mentor (not my WA mentor) that helps keep me on track with what I am doing.

I know the value of learning new ideas which is why when I write a blog post at WA it is usually to share something that I have learned recently with everyone else here.

So that's what I will continue to do. If I learn something new that I think others can use then I will write about it and hope that a few of you find it helpful. If that makes me a WA Ambassador then that's great. If not, then that's totally fine too.

Thanks you to everyone who has made my time here at Wealthy Affiliate such a blast. There is truly no other place anywhere online like it!

There are so many people I could mention by name but it would either turn this post into an entire night's work or I would forget someone and then feel terrible about it!

Special thanks must go to my dear friend, and everyone's favourite squirrel, Heidi. I have been blessed to meet many great people here but none as special as you. You have been an inspiration to me and a joy and pleasure to work with. I look forward to seeing our business continue to grow.

For now, I have a bit of a problem.

I had been planning to avoid alcohol for the month of January, but it's not every day that you become a Wealthy Affiliate Ambassador. I feel a wee Scotch could be drunk later!

Cheers Everyone!

Dave

Well deserved Dave, you may feel you offer little by way of content and or in proliferation, but I am here to tell you that your posts always have great, useful and motivational content. Less is more.....
So 007 I am really looking forward to your next instalment, I believe it may well be titled “No time To Die”

Thanks very much Cordelia. I certainly don't have time to die as I have far too much work to do at the minute!
Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad to hear that you find my content useful!

Cheers
Dave

Congratulations Dave on earning your Ambassador status. I'll raise a glass with you to celebrate.

You honor me by your reference in this post. Thank you sincerely.

I wish you much success in your business. Continue to share what works for you as well as what hasn't worked. That is all the value you need to add within Wealthy Affiliate to make you worthy of this honor.

Cheers!

Edwin

Hi Edwin.
Thanks very much for your kind comment.
Yes that's definitely my plan as i think that's the best value i can offer to the WA community.

Cheers
Dave 🙂

My congratulations to you Dave! Certainly you deserve it! You have been very helpful to all of us. Obviously that has been taken into consideration to award the title! It is understandable if you have been busy building your business. A lot of us do too which consumes our time. at the same time I am sure most people have other undertakings that need attention as well, in addition to WA. I am one and hope to complete other task occupying me so I can spend time developing and growing my online business. Thank you for helping others as best as you could and sharing your knowledge. You have helped a lot of us without you realising it . . . hence, you were awarded! Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much Sophie 😀
It’s always nice to hear that people have found my posts to be helpful.
I think you are doing exactly the right thing by focusing on growing your business and I’ll be doing exactly the same.

All the best to you
Dave🙂

Dave,

That's awesome! Well done, I follow your progress every now and then. You've come a long way.

But most importantly, keep focusing on your businesses. I'm doing the same. As much as I want to do more helping than working on my business, I try to contribute and comment here and there and keep up with what's going on in our community.

Both you and Heidi have been role models for me, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's come next for you.

All the best on your continued success at WA!

Hi Eric

Thanks very much for your very kind words.😀
I think you are very wise to focus on your business and as I mentioned, that’s what I will be doing too. I enjoy catching up on WA during a break from working, or while having breakfast/lunch. It’s better than reading the news or watching crap on tv 😀

Thanks again
Dave

Dave, you deserve it and belong there. You are honest and hard-working and most of all, you are an achiever! And you are ready to help. What else should an ambassador be more of?
I often feel like I'm not the best example of an ambassador compared to some others. But well, what can I do? :)
All the best, my friend!
Lenka

Thank you so much Lenka!
Of course yo are an ambassador - simply because you lead by example!
I really appreciate your kind words and I am very happy to be here alongside you.

Best wishes
Dave

I wish you a nice weekend, Lenka
