Bring on February!
I have learned that in life you have to celebrate the small things as well as the bigger things if you want to keep your head in the game. So I am here to celebrate my own small triumph today.
On the 13th of this month I was ranked 11,380 on this site. Nothing really to scoff at. I wasn't really doing much with what WA has to offer and so my rating had dropped. In July of last year I was in the 4,000s just for comparison.
So this month, I decided to get busy. I started really focusing on my websites. I started engaging with people on here; making new friends and contributing like I never had before. And I saw my rank get closer and closer to #1.
I have a 2' x 3' year calendar in my office this year and I write my goals down underneath each month to signify that is where I want to be by the end of that month. For the month of January, I had written down that I wanted to be below 5,000. So every day I would check my rank and write it in for that day so I could keep track of my progress. Considering that I started out above 11,000 it seemed like a very do-able goal but one that I would still need to push myself to reach.
Then it happened! On the 26th I ranked 4,891. I couldn't believe it. I figured that from there on out it would be harder to get a better ranking so I set February's goal to be below 3000.
And guess what??? I blew that goal out of the water 2 days later! I couldn't believe it! The more I did, the more excited I got and the more I wanted to do. Then it happened.
When I logged in today, I was rank 190!! Holy crud I couldn't believe it!! I had broken the top 200 in less than 3 weeks and am now a top creator on WA!!
I am now at the point where I am having trouble sleeping at night because I just want to be on here working toward my next goals. I want to achieve what I have always dreamed of; making enough money to work from home, but my own house, and support my family from my online business. But to do that, I know I need to focus on my min goals. All the little steps that get me closer to those bigger ones.
What goals do you have for the next month? 6 months? Year? I know mine are just going to keep getting bigger and bigger!
So here is to a wonderful new month!!

Indeed, a very tough January so far- but I am pumped for February after finishing Bootcamp.
February, you better get ready- To Success!!!
Oooo that sound awesome! Bootcamp is something that I really look forward to doing as well. Is it much different from the Online Entrepreneur Certification?

Great to hear Angela,
You are on a roll with your ranking.
That only comes with being involved.
I do not take very much interest in my ranking, although I see it improving as I do more.
The Goal I have is to complete the OEC training here after taking so long to achieve it.

That is a wonderful goal! That is a goal of mine for the end of January. That might seem slow, but I don't like to skip over anything because I believe they put the training in the order that we were supposed to do it.
Hence why I am trying to get onto Google AdSense before I move on this month:)
