In the words of that immortal philosopher of Fall Saturdays, Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friends!!!"!



Hi folks, I've been here about a month and have enjoyed my journey thus far. I've learned a ton, bought a domain, built my website, started writing, got some indexing and the rest, and the clue pile is building out daily. Who ever knows how little you know about something until you start learning so much about it.

Anyhow, my training is progressing along nicely and I'm happy with the results of my website evolution to date. I've been in the IT industry for a long time but never been on the website, application or marketing side of it. This is all new and amazing to me to see but as I continue through the training and understand the "whats" and "whys" of what I'm building it's all starting to make sense.

There are so many levers to pull and buttons to push to keep all of these moving parts progressing in sync. There's SEO-ology, Jaaxy and keywords and searches. And don't forget Google - Geez, Google Analytics, Google+, Google Rankings plus metrics, keywords, themes and content. Who can keep it all straight. Thanks to WA and team for giving me this organization and structure. Just enough guardrails to keep me moving forward while giving me the flexibility to do it my way without getting too far off track.

One thing i've learned, under some duress at times, is to follow the training, not the shiny objects. I continue to remind myself to focus on the next task/class/video at hand and have some patience. I'll get to all of it eventually.

So I've built it, still building to be sure, but have they come yet? Not exactly, but I'm hanging in there. Finsihed crawling, am probably walking and ready to start runnng now to get to that next level. So If You Build It - and keep working at it and making it better and working hard on it day by day or week by week - They Will Come. But that's too big for a movie trailer so just keep at it.

Best Regards,

And Best Of Luck To All Of You In Your 2020 Journeys And Beyond,

Kerry

Thank You for your eloquent blog Kerry !
What really resonated with me was
When under duress, follow the training, not the shiny objects !
Focus in the present and what’s at hand .
Next video, next class .
As a newcomer it’s very easy to loose focus .
Appreciate this invaluable reminder!

Thanks for the encouragement Kerry. I am a new member 5 days in and I understand what it means when I hear the quote "You don't know what you don't know" and I just don't know, but I will put on the armor of stick-to-it-ness and press on. Good luck to you and I will be following.

As long as it is up and running, anything is possible. You just have to continue building as we take notice.

Great progress in a short time. Keep up the momentum.

You're moving right along, Kerry! Best success in 2020, and a GREAT post!

Jeff
