Closer to my dream than I think
I started this blog post with the question ‘closer to my dream than I think?’, but quickly realised that this is, in fact, a statement, not a question at all.
Two incredible things have happened this week that prompted this post topic, things that I did not anticipate would happen this early on in my internet marketing career. After all, I only started this blog and this journey in February 2009, just a few short months ago.
The first thing that happened took me by surprise and I was quite overwhelmed with the generosity of spirit that emanated from the what I was reading. As I browsed through another marketer’s blog post – you can read it here – I discovered that the last paragraph was about me! I was absolutely humbled by the comments made and it reminded me that we can sometimes simply have no idea of the impact that we are making on others unless they tell us. So, thank you, Jay and Lynne Mueller, for telling me and enabling me to recognise the good that I can do. Kind words go a long way.
The second amazing thing that has just happened is I have been asked to be a guest writer on Steve King’s blog. I hope to able to provide Steve with a unique post every month or so that will complement his blog and his already excellent content. The first post has already been added to Steve’s site and you can read it here. We also hope to embark on a joint venture and have been working on a few ideas over the weekend. I hold Steve in great esteem and am honoured to have been offered this incredible opportunity.
It is amazing how quickly I have progressed and it reminded me of a post I read recently by Simon Egan Smith, you can read it here. All of this has proven to me that success really is just around the corner for all of us, we simply have to be brave enough to take that step.
Everything has developed way beyond my original thoughts and aspirations and I have quickly come to realise how much good can come out of being part of a community like Masterclass.
Enjoy the journey.
Congratulations Mandy,
You deserve your dream more than anyone in the Masterclass. Your commitment, enthusiasm and sheer hard work are an inspiration for us all. It’s an honour and privilege to be on the same course as you. What you give out you will get back.

Thank you for those sentiments, John. I firmly believe we all deserve it. I am only as good as the people who support me – you and others on the course do that.
Enjoy the journey.

Dear Mandy,
John already said it all
For my own part, you have been one of the few MC members who ‘glued’ us all together – you keep on visiting our blogs and leave thoughtful comments. You follow John Thornhill’s advise to support each and every one of us with a consistency that is truly inspiring.
With gratitude,

Mandy –
Thought provoking yet encouraging post as ever – just love the way you keep rolling them out!
This made made me think of – “It is darkest before the dawn”
and an IM saying that is banded about so much in so many versions that I doubt anyone remembers who said it originally (present company excepted – LOL) – “Most people give up when they are closest to success” – very true.
And thanks for keeping this in all our minds during whatever we find to be the hardest stages of the course – our personal nemesis stages.

Thomas Edison, actually, and isn’t it funny how so many of our insprirational quotes were coined originally by the Victorian/Edwardians? But then again it was the greatest period of time for advancement and enterprise.
Thanks so much for visiting, Susan. I really love your comments.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy,
So glad to see how much has happened since I’ve been gone! I’m just getting back into the Masterclass after having some other things I had to tend to. Looking forward to more exciting developments for you. Your diligence is paying off. See you at the top (it’ll take me a little longer to get there, but I will get there!).

Hi Kelly, nice to see you back! Don’t worry, I bet we’ll all arrive at about the same time!
Enjoy the journey.
