Using old school techniques for new ideas - Accomplishments one inch at a time

I was sitting on our deck one morning last week and sipping my mug of coffee while
watching the song birds flit around the yard looking for their breakfast when I had the proverbial light bulb appear above my head. Instead of creating a rough draft for my posts and pages every time on my computer, why not use a template that I can work from each time? I went inside and grabbed a spiral bound notebook and my pencil, then I listened to the ideas as they bounced around inside my head then jotted them down onto paper.

In the process of creating my template or outline that I could use, I started having ideas for posts and additional pages rushed at me like a storm surge. I completely filled seven pages full of ideas/keywords (that I can check out on the computer) to be used in future posts and pages.

In the process of brainstorming, I was mentally writing the posts. In outline form, in my notebook, I jotted down the main thoughts to incorporate into my posts once I went back inside later in the day.

By using this process, I have been able to accomplish several lessons in my journey here at WA. What has been my progress so far, you may ask?

• I have Twitter account now in addition to Google +, Facebook, Pinterest accounts that I already had.
• I am at the rank of 945 here at WA since joining 3 March 2015!
• I have a few affiliate programs in place on my website(s)
• My research is more focused
• I have started looking at my website(s) through the eye of a visitor to make sure that my content is clear and precise. (I will be adding more details later to the pages that I have already posted)
• I am having fun!

By slowing down, and concentrating on the skills that Kyle and others have been teaching us, I have learned that slow is good. A race isn't won overnight. It takes practice, determination, desire, drive, persistence and passion to create the building blocks that our success will be founded on. To build our success in and on rock instead of the shifting sands.

Have I made any money yet? No. I don't think that will happen right away and that is okay. The building stones need to be in place first, my foundation for success. Once the foundation is in place, then I can start reaching for the sky, but even then, my only limitations are the ones I put on myself.
