The Hurrier I Go, The Behinder I Get

It's time for me to give everyone here at WA a progress report, since I've just completed Course 2. It's been an experience, to say the least. Until I began studying at WA University, I had no idea of just how little I knew about so many of the subjects covered thus far in Certification training.

I never felt that I had extra time to spend surfing the web, or interacting with others on any of the social media platforms. I worked long hours, and my free time was spent with family or enjoying my favorite recreational activities. Through these first two courses, I've learned just how large that obstacle really is, and how time consuming it is to fill that gap in my knowledge.

Being retired, I thought I could devote more time to the training than anyone who was still working full time. Instead of six months to a year, I should be able to get through all the training in two or three months. Right? And have one or two websites that were fully functional, and maybe, just maybe, beginning to generate revenue.

To say I was wrong about that would be a gross understatement!

In my defense, I've been hindered by my lack of technical knowledge. I was completely ignorant about so many things. "SEO" was gibberish to me. What's a "CEE-OH"? And don't even get me started on LSI, long-tail keywords, or Meta Text! Huh?

Okay, maybe I'm just slow! One course per month translates to two more months just to finish the Certification courses, and I don't even want to think about Affiliate Bootcamp! I'm afraid to so much as look at that, because it could take me another ten months to complete. I won't live forever!

Today, as I read the posts from the kind folks in my group, it struck me that every day, seven days a week, I start the same way. I read every post, from start to finish. Every last one of them! Most days, that's what happens to my first hour of WA training.

Worse yet, I usually follow all the links to additional training. Sometimes I watch the videos, sometimes I read the tutorials, and sometimes, when I feel that I'm falling too far behind, I just bookmark them. If the training looks especially interesting, I can't resist, even though I'm well aware that I'm not ready to use the knowledge I gain there. At least, not yet!

The WA community has been the most pleasant surprise of my educational journey. It boggles my mind - so many friendly, helpful people from all walks of life, from all around the world. And they're all willing to help me! Amazing! I don't have the words to express how grateful I am for everyone's help. It is a humbling experience.

Thank you! One and all, thank you!

The reason I'm here at WA instead of any other "opportunity" is because I knew immediately that this was a genuine training program, and not a get rich quick scam. Most of us feel that way, I believe. Promises of overnight riches is simply "fool's gold", and not worth consideration.

So, I will continue to plug along, lesson by lesson, and getting further and further behind, because I keep following all those threads of knowledge offered by fellow WA members.

I wouldn't want it any other way!

For anyone still reading, and still awake, a special heartfelt thanks for your interest and support.
