The Best Way to Help Anyone is to Succeed!
Success breeds success. I know for me if I see someone accomplishing something my immediate response is, "If they can do it so can I."
A constant theme in the lessons is, "Show don't tell." I know for me when I can see a process, idea or concept in motion I will get so much more out of it but when I see results from that process, idea or concept I know it is solid.
As far as Advice goes -
There is a ton of it here. I won't judge whether it is good or bad but you should. Advice not only has to be right but it has to be right for you. Sometimes it is as simple as goal differences. The person offering the advice may not have the same goals as you or understand what it is they are trying to do. Make sure the advice rings true for you. I go by my gut all the time. If I make a mistake by making a decision based on my intuition, I can live with that. If I go against my intuition and I am left saying, "I knew it." I have no one to blame but me.
Being Selfish is a Good Thing -
No one is going to pay your bills. If you want to help or inspire somebody, set and make a goal. The most important person you will inspire is you. It's kinda like what they tell us on airplanes. Put on your mask first then help someone else. Encouragement comes from doing and showing that it can be done.
There is so much here in WA -
I have been busting my rump on the lessons and writing and I am not even a tenth of the way through what I can learn here. I have so much more to learn and so much more to achieve I can't waste a minute. Take advantage of this amazing platform and build, build, build.
Finally, I applaud you all -
In my short experience here I have thousands of unique clicks and over a hundred referrals. No one is premium yet but all of you or can be. That is a huge step and leap of faith in yourself and I applaud you all for it. Not many get their butts up in the morning go to work and then come home and go to work. It takes a very special individual to first, recognize what we have here but then to trust in it and run with it, well... as Will Smith would say, "That's some next level s#%t."
Can you dig it,

I love this post, Damo. I especially resonated with the line "put on your mask first, then help some one else." Loved the Will Smith quote too...I've been thinking that a lot lately!
All the best to you,
Sue
I can relate to this Damo. It took me a while before I see any result. But I kept learning, tweaking and then a window open. That wa a great day. So I know hard work always pay off. Glad I persisted. You have the right spirit, is only a matter of time before windows and doors begin to open for you.
Make it a great weekend Buddy.
Hawaiian Style training: Show, Try, Qustion. That is what we do here at WA. Show how to do something. (Our training) Go out and do it (Build your website) Ask questions when you get stuck.
We have the kind of help here at WA that you cannot get anywhere else, not even in college.
