Since both you AND Case Stevens tagged me in Twitter for this, I'll have to come clean with my first site (circa 1998) It's ugly, but it actually did generate leads for me. I'll post to my blog when I've pulled it all together. @AdamUrbanski: http://web.archive.org/web/20020523140154/http://www.incitedg.com/ There *is* an archive version of your site. I don't see the flash intro though. Great to stroll down memory lane with you.

But I didn't! My first website was up in 2000. I paid a couple of guys who were "website developers" about $5,000 to have it built! It had a beautiful flash intro (yeah, I know, what was I thinking!?) and was so technologically advanced it was pretty much an online version of Ginsu knife. It only had one problem. In the year or so that I had it active it failed to attract one lead, client, or sale! So in short - it sucked! It also had a great domain name: incitedg.com - short for my then corporate name "Incite Development Group"! So while I can't point you to my first website, I think there are a few useful lessons here for everyone... 1) When you are starting out you are bound to make some mistakes. Some will be a bit expensive (like my first website) but most won't be deadly! And the faster you get them out of your system the faster you will learn what actually works. So in short - fail forward! 2) While I'm certainly NOT a mainstream guru, I have a loyal following who regularly turn to me for marketing advice. Many of them who are my more recent followers think I've enjoyed an overnight success. But the truth is I have devoted long years, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many sleepless nights to learn and master my craft. And so did most people who are considered today's gurus! So in short - if you want success be prepared to pay the dues ;-) 3) Keep a journal or a "scrap book" of sorts that documents your journey. I wish I did. You might find it helpful one day in case Dr. Mani comes up with another question "do you remember your first time?!" Actually, you will more likely use it to build your credibility at some point, or as training material to share with your students. In short - document and track everything - you will multiply your learning exponentially! I hope this gives you some food for thought... Smiles, Adam Urbanski Dr Mani,

Wow! Your beginnings are quite a story. Your idea's genius! My 1st site was at AOL Hometown now shut down in October. My start on the web by this "consummate computer cavewoman" AKA "NET Novice" newbie I am shows I've much to learn. Converting my 27 years in business & personal training with my scientific and medical breakthroughs, and decades of researcha require this huge task in converting this Internet. Learning the Net's only begun as is, below, blatantly obvious: http://people.tribe.net/59ad5f34-241b-49dd-a638-63922ebcbe91 Everyone's got a story: your "everyone's beginnings" idea's most powerful trend for viral social media marketing! Kudos! I'm IN! Dr. Mani, you're HOT! It's time for this to spread! Best, @ZnaTrainer http://twitter.com/ZnaTrainer Dr. Mani @DrMani & all!
