Hey It Only Took a Year.

So, Nov. 27th, marked my one year anniversary as a premium member of WA. Many times I have looked back and thought to myself " Man, did I waste a golden opportunity by not taking more action this year" however, in truth it has not been wasted.
Yes I could have hunkered down and done more and achieved more, but you can't do it all, all at once. There is a process to success in all things and when you try to skip around and jump ahead, well you usually just fall behind.
Am I a Failure?
No, I am a success in progress, and now is the time to move from learner to doer. Not just a doer, though, but a doer in order. I have been "doing" a number of things this year, but with no logical order ( read: jumping from one training module to the next without taking action and mastering the previous task, or worse, trying to jump to the end without standing at the starting line) Hence, the layout of the Getting Started training, and Online Marketer Certification Levels ( BTW, thanks Kyle for not giving us all the levels all at once)
I often think it would be better for me if I couldn't even click to another lesson until I ticked the task boxes for the previous one, in other words, once a lesson is completed, it activates access to the next one.
Am I a Success?
Yes, because I am not quitting or giving up or in. I am moving forward with confidence that I can do this, that I can achieve my goals and dreams, I know I can, I've never not known it deep inside, but I have allowed myself to be stymied by self doubt from time to time and have become sidetracked. Yet, I have seen many here log there efforts, their ups and downs, their achievements and successes, some of which were results of knowledge gleaned from what didn't work. So I know it's doable, so keep the success stories coming, and not merely the ones of a grand scale, but every new thing learned and achieved is of benefit to others here. So Please, share on, good people.
Oh, So What Only Took A Year?
Well, as part of starting at point A today with certification level 1, I have finally completed my profile set up by writing my about me section. I uploaded my pic and jumped into chat a year ago, but never shared any of me with any of you. So, if you're so inclined, I would like to invite you all to check me out on my profile page.
Well, that's all, now I'm off like a herd of turtles, moving ever so diligently onward and upward, and I wish the same for you all.
And since it's that time of year, Have a Safe and Wonderful Holiday Season everyone.
Thanks,
Johnney
