Two Weeks

It has been two weeks since I committed to the direction of affiliate marking and SFM in particular.

I have been immersed in reading, listening, attending, doing exercises.  I feel great, not just excited but supported, which has been rare in my life.

This week I attended three live (online) workshops (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) so I am getting to be able to say hello to people.  I also am getting to say hello and tentatively connect with people in the internal social network of SFM.

It feels like only a couple of days, so two weeks gone by seems strange.  But they have been well spent.  Right now I am still in a mindset building and goal-setting stage.

I keep reminding my excitement that I am building something long term.  The million bucks are not going to show up tomorrow.  But it is like planting a quality seed in a quality soil bed and nourishing with quality fertilizer that will at some point bear a bumper crop.  What I feel great about this is that *I* am being responsible for myself and my income.  I actually will be happy to make a few hundred dollars, because that is a few hundred dollars more than I have ever been able to generate on my own before.

Some of the terms and tools that have begun to be referred to (but not working with yet) I don't understand completely, but I actually don't feel hugely overwhelmed.  I know I will learn one thing at a time. Also my previous experience in my own blogging and website and such has given me some intimation with these ideas and tools.  But now I will be able to hone them and master the skills and have a greater reach and more wonderful stuff to teach with the tribe I will build.
