Those words were written 2500 years ago, and are still relevant today, certainly in the internet world.

Well, this is the last lesson of the second module. And we are supposed to write a blog post. What to say? I feel like I am getting ahead of myself, because the training is really only begun, and I have no tangible results. Yes, I have what is called a website, but it is not visually appealing and doesn't have the pizzazz I think is necessary to really convert a first time viewer. Another factor is the theme I am using is designed to dovetail with selling items on Amazon. That works but, again, the overall feel of the website is undeveloped.

One of my esteemed commenters said the same thing, and it is not taken as criticism.

Last night I was watching a webinar and saw the website which was very colorful and cool. I have seen some sites done by people at WA, that have very nice graphics and colorful letters and so on.

So, while I have made some progress, and Kyle's teaching on Key words and his other step by step instructions has gotten through my head other stuff I have learned, I still feel like a beginner.

That is actually ok, though.

There is an expression I have known for a long time....

"In a Beginner's Mind, there are many possibilities, in an Expert's Mind, there are few."

So I will continue as a Beginner (or what is sometimes called 'Consciously incompetent'), do the course work, and at some point will pass from this stage, to the stage of 'Consciously Competent", to the Ultimate Stage, "Unconsciously Competent", when SEO, web building and affiliate and ecommerce marketing become so second nature, that I don't even notice it.
