Whats your “why” when it comes to being here inside WA?

What’s your “why” when it comes to having all these amazing tools, training, and resources at your fingertips?

How are you utilizing the training, the community, and everything available to you to build, learn, and grow?

How well are you able to retain that focus needed to succeed?

What actions are you taking right now, today, to further your growth?

What actions could you take today to help you not get distracted by the “noise” that sometimes sidetracks you?

Success comes from daily actions stacked on top of each other.

How are you making today one that counts?

Do you let others influence you and take you off your path?

Is today a step forward or backward for you when it comes to reaching your goals?

Answer those out loud, or just quietly to yourself, but tait inventory of your actions daily.

Save this.

You’re very welcome!

I’ve seen members recently posting about actively trying to game the system. That complete waste of time is so ridiculous to me that it’s hard to wrap my mind around it. Keep your focus!

Of course I wrote It to provoke a reaction! I would have the time to beat the system Just for beating the strategists. I know exactly that my main assets are Energy and time and where to address the focus.

Sometimes, you tend to forget that we are not robots Who Need only to cash out.

We are real people Who observe what Is going on around us.

What you missed about that post Is that an entire community Exchange their opinions, knowing each other Better. This Is a small victory.

That makes zero sense, but glad you feel fulfilled!

I Simply Guess we have two different perspectives about what means to be entrepreneurs.

For me, a modern entrepreneur Is a person deeply connected to his/her community, listening to the problems, not pretending they don't exist.

In this way, I Honor myself and my work: I see the problems, I adapt if this does not go against my Values.

I am Sorry you are Always sarcastic any time someone raises an aspect in WA that needs to be improved.

But It Is ok, we all respond to things according our personality.

Said this, I appreciate you try to keep us focused, so I take the good from this conversation and go back to work!

You’re misunderstanding the points system and I can’t help you with that. Original helpful content trumps copies and pasted replies, all day long 👍🏼

1

So help me to understand what I am missing!

According to what I have understood, the copy-pasters:
1. Gain more followers by leaving a welcome message to NEW members, people who UPGRADE and those who take a major step (for example creating their website)
2. More followers = More VISIBILITY for their content
3. More Visibility = More INTERACTIONS (if the content reasonates with the audience)
4. More Interactions = More Commissions?

What is the point I am not getting? I am genuily asking you

Do you see the irony of you commenting in a post where the entire point is to keep your focus where it needs to be and instead you're completely sidetracked like this?

Find people who are reaching the goals you want to reach and do as they do.

We're done talking about this, Suomi 😎👍🏼
Best of luck.

you are Always a gentleman!

Good luck tò you too!

Thank you for the inspiration, Eric

I tend to put my posts as my priority before any of my other business tasks. Every time I publish a new post I am feeling awesome inside.

Thanks, Jeff! That's what community is all about! Thanks for the kind words!

You are much appreciated by us all, Eric

Thank you much
Jeff

Now this is a lot to think about, that’s for sure, but I’ll do you one better and answer them right here, for all of you and in my head too.

My “why”? It started from a loss, from grief. That emptiness needed somewhere to go, and I chose to build something meaningful from it.

As for the training, I use it when it lines up with what I’m building at the time. Some days it’s SEO tweaks, other days it’s layout ideas or traffic lessons, but it’s always there when I need it.

Focus? There’s no turning back for me now. I need this. Writing here, connecting with people like you, that’s my way of staying grounded, not opening a hundred tabs on my laptop, lol.

Today’s actions? It’s post day for me. I’m scheduling out my weekly content, lining up my blogs, and finally down from the trucking shift, so I’m all in.

Forward motion? Every day I work on my site, even on tired days, is a step forward. That’s the goal, just one solid move at a time.

And hey, you’ll see me in the comments on your IG class too, because that’s what I’m tackling next. I’m pushing hard to get those numbers up to match my brand’s social level. It’s time to tighten that whole ecosystem.

Appreciate this post, Eric, it helped me reflect and recharge.
Let’s all keep climbing.

Nice man! Way to keep yourself accountable! 💪🏼💯

thanks bud👣

Hey Eric,

My why is because... We have a passion to be able to have enough money to live a dream life and give most of our wealth to charities that deserve it...

Don't worry, I will UPGRADE soon!

1

I have my calendar marked for that day! October 37th, 2039. 👍🏼

You still don't get it, do you?

The fact that you will never upgrade? Yeah I get it. But seriously, on my calendar I have several dates circled: October 47th, 2097, January 11teenth, 2670, and Mortuary 59th, 789. Which one of those it last closest to when you plan on upgrading? 🤣🤣🤣

1

Eric, please wake up man... Look at my beautiful profile picture!

Yesssssss. The reverse psychology has delivered!!!!! Although I gotta be honest, your whole identity was that you were the 2 year free starter 🤣

1

Just admit it, you were too fast asleep or slow to notice! 😃 Besides, I had been a paid member for a long time before.

Slow? You mean like someone who takes 2 1/2 years to upgrade “slow”? 🤣🤣🤣

1

How do I turn off all these notifications? I don't want to get notified of every single person's commment on an article. Only of those who comment/respond to me, like it used to be before I became royalty.

Awww I remember day 3 of going premium and feeling like royalty myself.

1

Yeah, it feels great... After all, we are wearing a crown. I have to say, you were right about me being naive by not upgrading. The earnings climbs up almost every time I comment and every second time I like something. I haven't even started blogging/vlogging yet, and only answered two questions.

You’ve finally caught up to what we’ve been telling you for 2 1/2 years lol. Better slow than never 👍🏼 Welcome to the *actual* WA, finally 💯

1

Ok, thank you!

1

Very welcome. You’re going to enjoy your second round with it and it’s going to open many, many doors with the knowledge you’ve gained since your first go-round.

Also, I tend to say “man” or “brother” a lot so my apologies for the times I’m talking to the Veronica half of you lol

1

She is my wife, and behind every beautiful smart woman stands a handsome intelligent man! 😃

Yes, I hope the points/earnings system won't be taken away, as some members are trying to game the system.

It's already set up to to protect that. As an example, you can game the system copying and pasting all the way to number 2 on the leaderboard and if I'm creating original, helpful content that gets likes, comments, and discussion I'll be earning more than you even if I'm like 10 on the leaderboard.

Just people wasting their own time 👍🏼
Let 'em. 💯
