After 2 years I still believe
It's been 2 yrs at WA and I have loved my time here and have made many great friends and I've bumped heads with those that I disagree with, lol, and am constantly learning. I started my first website in 1995 and have been involved one way or another since.
Most of the time I have been building sites for brick n mortar business's.
WA has expanded my knowledge not only with the teachings but what I have learened from the other members.
There is a lot of opinion that runs in every community and after two years here it is no different.
I really have to work on my patience as new people arrive and complain loudly then dissappear, lol, and the less than 6 monthers become self proclaimed WA chat police. I really crack up.
But as a professional chat lurker I have learned even more observing than engaging there. I believe it is one of the wonderful tools we have here. The one thing I would like to see more of is people actually providing one on one help for people not just trying to answer every question rapid fire. Take your discussion to pm and chat won't be so confusing. Don't worry your rank won't suffer,lol.
I only ran one website at a time before I arrived here but I now have 5 that I work on regularly and I'm havin a blast!
My rank here was down in the top 100 for a while as that live chat is addictive and if you participate there your rank will go down just make sure you are also putting the time in on building your sites, unless you are just here to Pay It Forward which I know of several very accomplished marketers on this site that do just that and I love to lurk as they share info.
I want to thank Kyle and Carson and everybody else here at WA for helping me make my life Adventure even more fuller every day!
And many thanks to my editor Caitlyn

A positive and open attitude is what you need on the internet.
I see you are on disability, how r things going. I was put on permanent disability in 2007! It did slow me down till I got over the depression that was 4 years ago and I am full speed ahead now with my laptop at the beach!

Hey CaptDennis,
I'm on permanent disability and have been since 2010. I think things are going good now but I'm having a hard time (money wise) at the moment.

The key to happiness is to keep learning and accepting that all things are fluid!
And I derive great joy when I learn something new and it compounds if I get the chance to share it!
