YaaY for Site Rankings

So, every day I get up and deal with little grandsons and horses and dogs. Then I grab my mug of coffee and rush to my computer to see what's new at WA and what my next lesson will be.

Sometimes I have not studied a new lesson for weeks, just shaping and molding what I have learned so far into posts. I then resume my lessons when I feel ready.

I think it's very important for each of us to keep our journey here at WA organic, meaning, follow our intuition, follow the promptings of our heart, not just cold logic and what seems best.

At least I am gentle on myself, because I know learning happens in many different ways. For me it's like pooling water on dry earth and then waiting for it to slowly soak in. If I rush it, it all just runs off, never soaks in, and I don't get it.

That being said, I will reiterate how my life has been changed by joining WA. Even though for me, a slow journey, 8 months with not one sale, and really not much traffic, when I react to it I get freaked out, when I think about it seriously, what I have learned here is incredible. Like going to university, study is intense in and of itself, and it may not look like you have gotten a lot 'done' but you have!

Of course these stats can bring me down and make me feel like I'm failing, and in fact they do. I have cried many tears over this learning curve, and spent days thinking, and thinking about my niche and what I can do better to

I'm on lesson 2 of level 3 of the OEC....done half of month 3 of the SAC, am on lesson 9, level 2 of the WA Bootcamp.

There are hundreds more lessons! How can I have reached a dead end? And in fact I have not.

If I just keep learning, growing, working, I am going to master this business.

Today I looked for some of my site rankings. Not something I often do, (I forget to!)

Although I'm aware that everything I have written and published so far, has been 'indexed' by Google (I get a notification about it in my inbox) I havn't been checking the rankings.

Today I found this information.!!!!!!

To say I'm thrilled with this progress is an understatement!

Another of my posts about making dog biscuits is in position 1 page1 of Google as well.

I don't know about the rest of you but this is darn exciting stuff !!

Not sure I even know what it means, but I think it's when someone enters keywords on that subject, my post comes up first?

What I don't know today, I'm gonna learn tomorrow!

So, that's all I wanted to talk about this time. I have to say I love the steady stream of people writing in this forum, letting all know how they are doing, like this blog. All the WA blogs are so interesting I have to stay away or I get caught up reading for hours and burn up my content creation time... it's a balancing act, but so interesting and fun.

Thanks to everyone in this community for keeping it positive and constructive. Negativity is such a downer energy drain, it's like breathing fresh air to be part of WA.

As my friend used to say to make us all laugh every time, 'if I don't see you in a week, I'll see you in the window.'

Onward and upward, WA'ers !!
