Hey WA fam!

As I am bringing in more new referrals, I am noticing a pattern in what they report to me: there's so much to read, see, and do here in WA... (how does anyone get anything done?!)

So, this post is for you newbies!

I'd like to share some tips with you, a few pointers that I know could've used when I first signed up so that I could know what the *real* priorities are here in WA!

Looking back at what I learned from my first 3 weeks in WA, here's what I can share with you that has helped me save lots of time and energy.

Keeping my WA time to 2 hours or less, here are FOUR things I do every day in order of importance (for me, anyway) to expand my WA network, learn more about how to do what I want to accomplish, and rank up!! (Note: I've only been here for 3 weeks, a Premium member for 2 weeks, and I've already brought my rank up to 824!! YAY!)

Here's my daily to-do's:

1. ~30-60 min: Do Kyle's Trainings In Green - "Get Started Here"

  • Stay updated with Kyle's trainings in the "Get Started Here" in green on the left.
  • Just keep moving forward and do the tasks that are in front of me.
  • One day at a time...

2. ~2-5 min: Get Some Answers, Give Some Answers, and Make New Friends :)

Start your free journey today — no credit card required.

  • Ask clarifying questions in the comments at the bottom of Kyle's training videos.
  • Reply to and "like" comments from others as I scroll down, down, down...
  • Follow people who are giving value to others and helping the community.
  • Thank and follow the people who answer my questions.

3. ~30 sec-1 min: Network With Your People... That's Why We're Here In WA!

  • Find people who are already following me, and follow them back by clicking on the green button by their name.

  • Follow users who are "New to The Community." They automatically show up under my profile picture on the right side.
  • Click on their green "Follow Me" button.

4. ~2-5 min: Your Network Is Your Net Worth!

  • Reply to and "like" the comments people leave under my bio
  • Be yourself and be a human. We can ALL learn from each other. ;)
  • Building these relationships now will help you create success sooner than later!
