Just 7 days into premium, and I've done this already.

I'm just 7 days in to my premium membership and I've already done so much more than I could of ever hoped for.

Here's what I would have done without the WA training.

I...

• ...wouldn't have even started... but if I did...
• ...would have started a website with little direction
  
• ...wouldn't have created as many social media accounts
• ...wouldn't have done ANY keyword research
• ...would have just started writing aimlessly, hoping to get noticed
• ...wouldn't have branded myself
• ...would have no direction or motivation
• ...would have given up by now. Guaranteed.

This may not say much for me, but I can be quite impatient. As a magician, being impatient isn't ideal as magic takes a lot of effort and time to perfect. The WA program has given me the knowledge that this isn't going to happen overnight, so just like with my magic, I need to put time and dedication into making this work.

Here's what I've actually done so far...

• Hand coded and designed a website from scratch designed to show content immediately on landing.
  
• Branded with logos created a consistent colour scheme to run throughout everything.
• Create Social Media Accounts: Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Google+
• Doing and will continue to keyword research
• Have around 30+ blog post ideas where keywords have been researched.
• Created business cards and a T-Shirt (I'll be meeting people for Q&A's so will give a professional look upon meeting them).
• Created custom email addresses i.e mark[at]mywebsitehere.com questions[at]mywebsitehere.com and so on.
• Set up a mailing list and automated welcome email for new subscribers with a CTA of "Articles to get you started"
• Set up analytics and webmaster tools
• Read and re-read a lot of training here on WA

I'm truly so full of motivation and excitement. I've decided that this is what I'm doing and I've took action rather than "Wait for the right time" or thought "I can't do this yet"

I've just listened to Earl Nightingale's "Strangest Secret" (Google it, it's incredible) he makes the statement below.

Don't ask the fire for heat first, then promise it wood later.

You have to provide the fuel first before you get a return. And I'm putting the fuel on the fire with plenty of reserves behind me too.

Keeping this in mind...

I've made this decision. New York, baby!

In one of my first posts, I said one of my goals is that I would like to take my family to New York for Christmas 2019, if I do well with my website.

Just make a decision Mark.
Make. A. Decision. (In the voice of Earl Nightingale)

OK, I just made the decision that we are going to New York for Christmas in 2019 and I've booked the flights and hotel. I've put down a non-refundable deposit, and we are going. Not on the credit card (You should only use credit for assets that will provide a return, not luxuries)

Now I'm even more accountable for my actions! As it stands at this minute, we can't afford to pay for it. Maybe I'm crazy, some people would say so yes, or maybe I know how committed I am.

If you're reading this in 2019 I'm just 7 days into my Pemium membership and not made a penny... yet.

Thank you all for the motivation.

Your stories of success and acheived goals are definitely keeping me going. A community full of inspiring people, and it's great to be a part of it.

Keep watching!
