Day 20 - A Milestone Reached, Celebrations Had

As usual, Saturday was my official 'day off', so I didn't think I'd have much to report. On the contrary - this was actually my best day since I got into IM, for a number of reasons. Firstly, I made another CPA sale for $40, which meant $120 earned in less than 24 hours. My wife convinced me to treat this as my first $100 day, and I wasn't going to argue!

A few months ago, I promised myself that when I reached this milestone, I would not only celebrate, but I would take time to thank all the people that helped me reach it. I posted a thread at the Warrior Forum and did just that. It felt great to be able to say 'I did it' and I had been wanting to thank some of those people for months, but was waiting for a good opportunity. In addition, I posted the thread with the intention of inspiring newbies, and anyone who is currently struggling - kind of 'if I can do it, YOU can too'. I got some overwhelmingly positive replies, and I think that made my day even more than the money itself.

I also found out that quite a few people have been following this blog. I really had no idea if anyone was or not, so it's really nice that people have been interested enough to follow along. One Warrior even said she hoped the end of the challenge wouldn't be the end of the blog - that kind of comment makes me feel so good.

Myself and my wife have had a bottle of champagne in the house since Christmas, and said we'd only open it on a special occasion. We opened it last night, and added to a good few beers - a good time was had. I think it's really important to acknowledge your achievements and give yourself a pat on the back for the hard work you have put in. I know I have a long way to go, but I make sure to celebrate every milestone - you should too.

I'm very much looking forward to the week ahead, and the last few days have reinforced how glad I am to be an internet marketer - it really is so rewarding, and the money is actually only one part of it.
