To Build A Fire

Being new to WA, I am reminded of a Jack London book called, "To Build A Fire." As in true London form, the setting takes place in the Yukon, near the boarder of Alaska.

The character in the story is a new-comer to the Yukon and the cold, at the time, doesn't seem to faze him. His goal is for him and his husky to meet some friends at a certain place by 6 p.m.

I don't want to give the whole story away, especially if you haven't read it, but it goes on to share how he was new, passionate, full of ideas, but also dumb. Dumb because he refused to listen to the wisdom of those who knew the ups and downs of the Yukon and warned him not to go at it alone.

But he did. And I'll leave it right there, with the exception that at one point, he couldn't even move enough to build the very thing that would keep him alive - FIRE.

For us newbies, we may have some experience with internet marketing, but we would be foolish not to listen to those who have gone before. Time and money can be saved, if we will just use the resources here at WA.

There are many things that are already going through my head with my new website. I'm questioning whether or not I am doing it right. But then I go to the resources and videos that I can find on WA and I'm sure I will truly be able to build, not only one fire, but many fires in the end.
