Thanks for your comment. That’s who it is aimed at. The people at the beginning of this stage need the most help, and people who are in the process easily forget one step or another in getting to their destination.

In fact, I originally wrote this for myself, to remind me of each step so I wouldn’t forget them. Even if you’re an expert, I’d say especially, you sometimes tend to go on autopilot and skip over a step.

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for commenting. I still do some of these, but having them in front of me makes it easy to remember that it’s not about knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know. Most people aren’t actually looking at this list and doing all 7 of these every time. It’s funny how missing the simple things are usually those that make the difference between mediocre results and explosive ones.

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for your comment. There’s only so much information one can get into even a 1500 word article, so I’m glad you found it useful. Honestly I didn’t expect it to have such a warm reception, it was mostly for self-reminder.

Hi “Sisiko”,

Thanks for your comment. Very true. And again, it’s the one I’m most guilty of. I have my reasons, and they are good ones, but it’s no excuse.

It used to make me nervous to put so much content out at the same time. There’s someone out there somewhere charging for this same information, but I think putting the basics in public helps to make the step by step guides more focused and valuable.

Hi Kate,

Thank you for sharing your viewpoint. You’re right, this is written to inspire people who aren’t acting to take action – there’s not enough room in an article to go over all the practical steps. Besides, there’s no big secret, the solution is taking action on those “inspirational” steps. If you want more practical steps on how to proceed, I’d suggest you join a membership like Crowd Mountain, buying a book like Tamar Weinberg’s “The New Community Rules”. It sounds like you’re beyond the level of knowledge an article is supposed to give.
