Hello WAians Community! I just finished the program and what a run it was!

I started a little over 3 months ago and I started with such zeal. I charted into new dark waters and tried to have a good attitude. I soaked up as much as I could like a sponge.

I made a promise to myself, so I was under a lot of pressure. I would not recommend that. I did make a few mistakes along the way. There were days when things didn´t always work out the way I would have liked.

I had to change all of my content and rewrite a lot of posts, which took me an additional week. There were a few days when I felt like I was in over my head, and I can´t lie, the thought of giving up crawled into my mind. But thank goodness I didn´t listen.

Just yesterday, I was informed that a few of my re-written posts were indexed in Google. Imagine my shock and joy. Hard work can pay off.

Also, around a month and a half ago, I wrote a post, and the next day it was indexed in Google. I couldn´t believe that within a day or so a post could be indexed. I felt blessed.

I posted 2 new posts today which is a 1st for me and will add another one later.

I would like to encourage anyone starting new, here at WA to keep a steady pace. Don´t go too fast (help minimize mistakes) try to find a healthy pace for yourself. Have an outline of your goals and do your best to achieve them. Cut yourself some slack if you fall short. Some days you´ll be on fire and some days it will be like pulling teeth but in the end, it will be worth it.

If you start with an idea and you notice that it´s taking another turn. Stop, ponder, and reflect. Do not be so quick to give up. Maybe you just need a course recalculation.

I plan to focus on taking certain classes and dive a bit more into social media marketing. But for now, I will take a much-deserved rest for a day or two.

I hope this inspires you and gives you a game plan that is best for you. Just know that you are not alone and that everyone here has had setbacks and that you can move on from that.

So good luck and just shine! I´m rooting for you!
