Wow, time sure flies when you are having fun, right? It has be an interesting ride. I have learned so much in a very short time and have a very long way to go. You know at this point, it is short, steady steps forward. Yes, there has been some confusion and frustration. But there should be for us who are starting a new career doing something completely foreign. The system is not perfect, but it is pretty dang close. The sense of community and the willingness to help has been a very pleasant surprise. Yes, the structured courses are awesome, but I have learned so much from other members with their blogs and comments. In fact, I have been very guilty of getting off the track or skipping ahead on the training because I learned and applied something from this community. When I finally get back to the training program, I find that I had already learned that lesson with OJT (On the Job Training).

There are so many of you that I would like to thank personally, however the list is pretty long. I have reached out to many to express my gratitude.

If there is something I would recommend for fellow Newbies to follow, it would be to simply "Pay Attention." You can learn and pick up so much from just reading blogs and comments. Also, using the Search Bar at the top of the page has come in handy often.

After 3 months, there are some accomplishments I am proud of: A Wealthy Affiliate Website Up and Running, Website Indexed and now steadily climbing up the rankings, my site trust number recently went from 10% to 20% ( I think that is an accomplishment), I actually know some of the answers to questions people post here, written 30,000 words for my posts and pages ( a drop in the bucket, but the website is filling out nicely), I got my first WA Referral, and possibly others that I missed.

I am so thankful and feel blessed that I found Wealthy Affiliate. Thanks for being a supportive family and I look forward to a great 2018.

Mike
