Hi Nick,
My Beautiful Summer Morning Inspiration man!!! How are you? I love your post. Where the heck were you in August of 2005 when I didn't know what a URL was? I have come far enough since then to have picked up a few things, but I am still a floundering internet junkie. As I was when in the retail business, I am addicted to the people here.
When I first came to Adland I was going through the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People on my audio tapes, and I remember thinking so many times that not one soul I was interacting with and signing up with was seeking to understand me, my needs, my abilities. They all promised help and didn't deliver, and I pulled away from Adland as a result for a short time after spending quite a bit of money and not learning a thing or making a cent. It was time to put first things first. I found a passion and its product and a distributor who would work with me and I built BIRDESSENTIALS.com and in the process of doing that learned a lot, but had a lot of help and still need help when I want to make more than a small change. You see, I have just demonstrated to you and everyone who is reading this almost the full extent of my internet ability. (lol)
I think it would be marvelous to learn what to do next, and then get some sort of instructions on how to do it so we could set off and do it ourselves and then move on to the next step. The truth is the answers are all right here in the tutorials and support at ALP. I still belong to a number of programs that I know would be great if I knew what, where and how to do what comes next. If there is a step by step book out there that doesn't miss 3 steps because it was hurriedly and poorly written, I haven't found it.
Every day we are inundated with those messages that say sign up now, we'll fill your downline when there are some among us who still don't know what a downline is or how it works.
I am anxious to share and teach others the little I know about being here, though I am finding that my knowledge and abilities fall miles short of some of the masterminds we have here. So, I am equally as anxious to learn, learnlearn more. You have proven yourself to be a great mentor, and if for no other reason, I gravitated toward your posts, toward your websites and I visit them often.
I am axious to see what comes of this great forum. Thanks for sitting on your deck and reading one of the greatest books of all time, and for sharing your thoughts with us. It sure has set you up one more notch on my scale!!
Blessings and cheers,
Judy
