My First Certification
I wanted to talk about my first certification but maybe not for the reason you think. Most of the blogs that I see from people who got to this point are excitement, appreciation, and a little bit of nervousness about the future. Don't get me wrong, I'm feeling all of these too. I can't pretend that this doesn't mean a lot to me. What makes it special though is where I came from.
Ok, a little background, I've been doing affiliate marketing for years. More like learning everything I can about it and putting only a little of that into practice. I've always had a tendency to build websites and leave them unfinished. Idk what my hang up was but I could never quite get to the point where I felt I was maintaining and promoting a site. It got to a point where I went out and bought a couple sites who's designs I liked. The trouble there was that it wasn't my own and I could never connect with the sites the way I wanted.
So then I found this site and things changed. Idk if it's the community, the resources, the having set tasks, or what but I finally feel like I can finish what I've started. It's not a feeling I've had in a long time about anything. And I'm sure some of it is just me changing as a person but a lot of it has to do with this being a place where I feel comfortable growing. Honestly, the first certification doesn't mean too much from a learning standpoint because a lot of it I've learned already. But it means an investment into finishing something I've started. I just hope I can motivate others to finish as well.

Thanks for sharing this. I am usually pretty self-motivated, but I am finding that having a goal to work towards, leaves me free to work towards it my own way and I get there much happier. Then move onwards! Keep going, Sue :)
Wow, I know exactly what you mean I've been going through the same thing myself. WA helps in keeping me focused
Good post Desmond! You should be proud! You paid a price for something and earned it.
Wishing you much more success as you move on with WA
That was a very honest post about your past efforts. I just think sometimes it's all about timing. Clearly the timing is right now. And I think it also helps that you have a community that supports and holds you accountable. So keep it up.
