I missed a day... I'm not happy about it, but after my final day of class for the semester, I crashed. That was not my intent. My body felt otherwise. I am a day behind the pace I set for myself in terms of retrofitting my WA site, but I will catch up. Oh, yes, I will catch up. I did, however, receive an A in Financial Institutions and Markets, and will begin Principles of Risk Management next Wednesday. I'm geeked. I tried to transfer to a position in underwriting recently, but they weren't h

I don't have a lot of time to write this post, so if it seems somewhat stream of consciousness, please forgive me. I have a class project due by 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, and since I didn't like the original project, I deleted it in disgust.

Oh, the joy of tracking personal rankings! During our journey, we all need a way of keeping score. It's simply human nature,and it helps keep us motivated. A couple of weeks ago, when I joined Wealthy Affiliate, my member rank was in the 11,000s. A week later, it was in the 2000s. Yesterday it was 1927 and today, it is 1476. I'm still not entirely sure what any of this means, but I darn sure like it. Of course, the ultimate score metric is profitability, but first steps first. Obviously someon

I purchased a domain name today. Just a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact. On the surface, it's not that big a deal. I own quite a few domain names. I even have a few websites, some of them which sell products of my own. Well, let me rephrase that. Some of them are sales pages for products of my own...they're just not doing very much selling. This is why I came here to Wealthy Affiliate; not just to learn to promote other people's stuff, but my own as well. I mean, why wouldn't I want to be
