Make sure that your give top priority to education, training and interaction within the WA community. At the risk of stating the obvious: If you are new to WA, you will need to devote a significant chunk of your time to the wonderful and systematic training offered here.

Part of your education will consist of interaction within the WA community. I make it a point to give some time each day skimming through all the new posts and questions. Select those that resonate with you; read them, learn from them and interact. If you don't get it, ask questions.

I do not let the education and interaction part of my template take up all my time. That's why I skim the new blog and questions each day and select those that resonate with me. I need to make sure I have time for the other major activities: Creating, Marketing, Giving and Downtime

Pay particular attention to the blogs and comments offered by the Ambassadors. I have learned much from them.
