A Milestone In My Blog
A Milestone In My Blog
4th November 2009 saw my first post. On one hand it doesn’t seem that long ago, on the other it seems like a whole life time away.
When I look back over 99 other posts I have done I can clearly see where I have grown, developed, changed and increased my value.
I have never been one for journals. The longest I have ever kept anything close to a journal has been 3 days. I know my blog isn’t exactly a day by day guide to my life, but when I read back I remember exactly what happening in my life at the time I did the post.
This is my 100th post. It is a mile-stone for me as writing has never been my strong point.
Committing to doing a post a day was a crazy thought back in November / December 2009 especially as I knew nothing in comparison to what I know now.
Now, not doing a post a day (or at least 3 times a week) is a crazy thought. Funny how the same task seen through different eyes can mean completely different things.
Today I would like to share with you some post which meant a lot to me or took me by surprise.

I’m Not Smart Enough To Comment On DwayneHuggins.com
This post was inspired by a friend of mine who read my blog daily, but never left a comment because she thought she wasn’t smart enough.
When I was writing the post I wasn’t sure how it was going to be received. I thought I might offend people or they may get the wrong end of the stick.
Have a read, see how it turned out.
Killer Tips On Facebook Marketing, Essential If Your On A Shoestring Budget…
This was my very first post. I also did a video to go along with it which I put on BetterNetworker.com.
Jason Better included the link to the video in his Best At Better Networker emails. From this I got a lot of great comments and a lot of traffic to my blog. This was a great start for me. It showed me how important it is to be in the right circles.
Thanks JB.

How To Make Money Online As A Network Marketer
This post was personal training for me.
There is knowing things and having that knowledge in your head, then there is writing it down.
By writing this post it cemented the whole process more in my mind. It made it easier to explain it to others and it helped a lot of people with how they explain the process to others.
When you jump online you soon learn that it is very possible to make money online, but it takes a lot of learning, testing & tweaking for it to actually happen.

I Got 99 Problems Being A Network Marketer Is Not 1
The headline is based on the popular Jay-Z track 99 Problems. The picture pokes fun at Tiger Woods who at the time was having his fair share of problems.
This post was based on a couples of questions a fellow network marketer asked me. He wanted to know what I said I do (for money) when people asked me. Then he wanted to know why I wasn’t ashamed to say I was a network marketer.
This post really displayed exactly why I love being in this industry.
True Leader
True Leader
The Art Of True Leadership Part 1
This post for me was about the transition I had made into a leader.
Every leader is different and leads in different ways, but there are some key factors which leaders must have to successfully lead.
By really taking stock of what I was doing as a leader and what the other leaders I associate with do I started my ongoing series of the art of leadership.
This was my first installment, go check it out.
There are many post for me to choose from (99 of em). This next post, marked a huge learning curve for me.
Price & Promise
Price & Promise
The Price And The Promise Of Your Online Network Marketing Business
It was the final understanding that I can achieve all that I wanted but everything has its price.
As long as I was willing to pay the price I will receive what is promised.
You can too.
What Now?
I will continue to blog as I love it. It is my most valuable piece of internet real estate.
By blogging I have grown my business, met some great people, and shown to myself and hopefully you what is possible with the right mind-set.
There will be tweaks and changes throughout my blogs life. Some things added some taken away. The main thing is I am having fun. I am also helping others and making some money along the way.
Thank you for being with me along my journey. Your comments and input has made the world of difference.
What posts were your favorites and why?
Thanks
Dwayne
