Hi Jon and Debbie.

Well, a two-fer; that's a first for sure. 😊

"Thanks for the follow"
Likewise, I'm sure.

"We look forward to reading your success"
Well, I wouldn't mind a bit of that myself, to be honest. 😉😊🤦

"If you need any help please feel free to ask"
What a lovely offer. I'll be certain to take you up on it when the need arises. In the same vein, please feel free to PM with anything if you think I can be of assistance.

I'm sure we'll run into one another out and about the WA, until then, I offer you both best wishes for your success.

Regards,

Hi Cherry.

"I hope all your dreams come true"
Thank you, how kind.

"You have become a member of a great community"
Yes indeed, that too is my assessment.

Thanks for the follow, and I'm sure we'll be bumping into one another around the site.

I wish you good luck and great success. 👍

Regards,

Your right I am sure we will bump into each other. Be blessed

Hi Paul.

"Thank you also, for inviting me to be a part of your network"
Not at all, it's great to meet you.

I noticed that you've been a member for a while, so I went to your profile to visit your website, but I didn't see your "Follow on" section? Pray tell, what is your website? I do enjoy visiting members' websites and seeing how they've implemented lessons. It would be fine to visit yours too.

Anyway, best wishes for your success, from the UK.

Regards,

Hi again, Tayo.

I will have my site listed on my profile here shortly. I am taking a slightly different approach.

I have been on Phase 2 Lesson 7/8 of bootcamp for over six months now. Once I feel confident...the rest will be quite easy to complete.

I am branding and have a long term plan.

Just google my name if you want to know what I am up to.

Kindest regards from Canada.

Paul Mindra.

I did just that, Paul.

Sorry to read about your health problems. I do hope that you are on the mend now, or at least, have found a way to be comfortable.

I look forward to revisiting your website when it is completed, although it looks pretty good to me already. 😊

Thank you, Tayo.

Yes, health is finally under control through the use of 'Biologics.'

A lot of work ahead as far as the site is concerned.
I look forward to going over your site.

Stay true my new friend.

Paul.

"Yes, health is finally under control through the use of 'Biologics'"
Wonderful to hear.

"I look forward to going over your site"
You're welcome any time, but I warn you, it's a super tiny niche.

"Stay true my new friend"
Echoes my sentiments exactly. 😊👍

Have a glorious week, Tayo.

Over and out for now.

Paul.

Hello Carol.

Following back: no probs. Looking forward to enjoying your work.

Ah, so they in Northern Nigeria, obviously. Interesting. Wouldn't it be one heck of a coincidence if they worked in a town called Zaria? Chortle.

Thank you for your kind wishes, I wish us *both* online success and happiness in our ventures.

Regards,

Tayo

Thanks, Tayo. It would certainly be a coincidence. I don't know the name of the town, but it where some of our girls who were kidnapped from the Bible school, and I think some of our ministers were killed or taken by terrorists. I'm sure you are familiar with that scenario that happened a few years ago.

Hi Saane.

Great ideas about melding both spheres, Toastmasters and WA, thank you, I will adopt them.
=y <— means thumbs up (I'm tired of writing "thumbs up")


I think I've got past the enjoyment stage of website building and now it's a bit of a slog to get the site looking the way I want. Then there are the lessons, then there is the small matter of creating content... busy, busy, busy as a bee. 😁

Have a great, successful week.

Regards,

Tayo

You too Tayo keep it up :)

Hi Centra (if I may call you that?)

Thank you for your warm welcome and kind words of advice.

Yes, I am getting stuck in, there's *so* much to do!

My websites are coming along nicely, but now I need to concentrate on getting some actual content into them, which is not as easy as it sounds. It is time-consuming to create great content.
:=(

Anyway, yep, you're right; I'm sure we'll bump into each other on WA.

Here's to both our success.
=y (means, thumbs up)

Cheers,

Tayo

Hello Ingrid.

Yes, clearly there are benefits in becoming a premium member of WA. I was able to create my very first website using my own domain. I'm well pleased. :=))

Absolutely! To OUR success. (thumbs up)

Regards,

Tayo

Congrats for your first website!!
Great job!
Ingrid

Thank you, Ingrid.

Be sure to visit when it's done—there'll be something for everyone, I'm sure ;=)

Regards,

Tayo

Hello Glenn.

Yes, I am pleased to be a member of WA as I've had an instructive and pleasant experience thus far.

I certainly do intend to keep the old snout to the grindstone; I would *really* like this to succeed. Along with almost everyone else here seemingly, I too am completely fed up with the 9-5, led-by-morons daily grind. If there is going to be a moron in a leadership role—let it be me! (Lolz. ;=P)

Thank you for your kind offer of assistance. I will certainly take you up on it as and when required.

Cheers,

Tayo

Hello Jennifer.

Yes, clearly there are benefits in becoming a premium member of WA. I was able to create my very first website using my own domain. I'm well pleased. :=))

Allow me to wish you great success here too, although I see that you have achieved a Top 100 position already. (thumbs up)

Regards,

Tayo

You are most welcome and Thank you Tayo

Here's to making it happen in 2019

All the best

Jennifer

Hi Ilaisaane.

Wow, what an unusual—yet, pretty—name! Can you tell me more about it?

Also, wow, what a coincidence! I too am a Toastmaster, in fact I joined up the past January. I am giving my icebreaker speech first meeting next month, so... fingers crossed. :=)

Thank you very much for your kind wishes. I see from your splendid ranking that you are already achieving high success, so I can only say that I hope to emulate your achievements one day too. (thumbs up)

Regards.

Hello,

haha, my name is Tongan (have no idea what it means - and no-one else does either, so, in fact it is unusual), named after my paternal grandmother.

Wow! that is awesome, I have only been in Toastmasters for two years and am currently the VPEd for our club. Oh, I am sure that you will do very well, I like icebreakers - they are the fun speeches.

As long as you speak from the heart you will do fine.

You may be surprised to know that my rankings are just from being involved in this community, and completing my training, nothing extraordinary, although I would have to say, Toastmaster skills do give you an upper hand when writing engaging blogs/posts/quality site content. Speaking structure is very much like content writing.

If you utilise those skills plus everything else you know, you will probably outrank me in no - time :)

Let me know, if you ever need a hand with anything (I cannot promise to know it all, but will do my best to guide you to the right source).

Looking forward to more connections and to cheer you on your many milestones :)

Saane (for short, hence the Snazzy)

Saane.

Even prettier. :=) I’m assuming that it’s pronounced, Sa-anne?

I attended my first Toastmasters meeting just to get out of the house. Surprised by the warmth of the welcome I received, and the dedication with which I was gently ‘nudged’ to contribute a speech, I got up and answered a table question. (smile)

It has already been an amazing journey. A fellow I started with, who used to shake visibly, now can get up and address the group with barely any signs of nervousness. I am getting to grips with being a Grunt Counter (in the States, I think they’re called ‘Ah Counters’).

So, when considering WA, I seem to have stumbled upon two great groups of people. Huzzah!

“... you will probably outrank me in no - time”. Lolz. That’s a nice thing to say, but I’m not holding my breath. (chortle)

Why on earth aren't there emojis in WA?

Anyway, have a great day.

Regards,

Tayo

So cool, to chat with someone who knows about Toastmasters. It really is a great movement (for the lack of a better word) to join.

I have had a few curious questions from a lot of our WA members, and I couldn't really do justice to Toastmasters with my replies.
One simply has to be part of it to understand it.

Very much like WA. People see my facebook page and get curious just by the mention of 'Wealth' in the name and then after explaining how wonderful it is, they get disinterested.

I agree, they should have emojis here - with the addition of a few more like: 'frustrated', 'brain on fire or blocked' 'peace' etc.

You have a great day also,

Nearly forgot to add: your pronunciation of my name is correct :)

Hi Saane.

(As far as I can make out, it's the name of a Tongan tribe?)

"... they should have emojis here ... like: 'frustrated', 'brain on fire or blocked' 'peace' " 😊

I've copied an emoji over from my phone—does it render properly on your device?

Toastmasters: yep, it's a hidden gem. However, as you've discovered, you can lead horses to water but you can't make camels fly!

😂

Yup works well...a Tongan tribe?? Will check it out, if so I better lay some claims to the land hehe. Camels fly 😎😎

Hi Joe.

Yes, even if it's only learning how to create a good-looking website and manage it properly, it'll have been worth it. So I've got a lot of work to do before the month's out and I either keep up with a paid membership or revert to the freebie.

I'm just going steadily, and I'll see where it takes me.

Thank you for your kind wishes, and may I return the same to you. (thumbs up)

Regards.

Tayo

Tayo,

It sounds like you have a good positive attitude as your foundation.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Kerry.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the advice about the search box. Frankly, I hadn't even noticed! (thumbs up)

I will certainly make an effort to "play around" with the buttons and things on my dashboard, now that you've mentioned it.

I see from your profile that you are wandering across Australia? That must be fun. :=)

Cheers.

Tayo

Hi Jules.

Yes, today I got my very first website up and running in an unbelievable 30 minutes or so! Who knew? For that alone I'm grateful to have come aboard.

I'm working my way through the first certification diligently, and enjoying the experience, so this far, it's all good.

Thank you for your kind offer to help—I'll be certain to take you up on it if and when the need arises... (thumbs up)

Cheers,

Tayo

You are most welcome Tayo and wishing you the very best in all of your projects.

Enjoy your weekend.

Jules

Thank you, Jules.

Do you have websites up and running? I don't see any in your profile. If you do, I'd like to visit... :=)

Anyway, enjoy your weekend too.

Cheers,

Tayo

Hi Suzanne.

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind wishes. (thumbs up)

Hi Ahimbe.

Thank you for your kind words and wishes. (thumbs up)

Cheers.
