Hello, I just finished a home inspector course, just completed all 200 exams (kidding) from Humber College. I didnt know this site existed till a month or so ago. I have not started inspecting, for money, yet. I am getting everything in order. Learned a fair bit from here. I have been looking and reading (lurkin :roll:) at what I can for some time. But you can’t see the pictures that are posted. I hope to join in the near future and continue learning. See you Steve Gazo ---

Steve, enjoy your trip and congrats on getting married. Take my advice. I can’t emphasize it enough. Here it is: Read EVERY word and EVERY word in EVERY link in [www.nachi.org/success.htm](http://www.nachi.org/success.htm) Don’t just browse through it. Go to each link and explore. Then go to the next one. It will really make a big difference. Don’t let reading [www.nachi.org/success.htm](http://www.nachi.org/success.htm) interfere with your marital duties though. 😉 ---

Then go to the next one. It will really make a big difference. Steve, Do exactly what Nick said above, but there is one success tip that he almost never openly shares. It concerns your website. Before I spell it out for you, re-read his statement above. Now… re-read it again, but this time analyze what he is not directly saying. If you have read at least a few of Nicks posts, (guesstimating) about 95% of them have a common trait. Do you have any idea what that is? No? Click [Here](http://www.jrjconsultants.net) and [Here](http://www.OwatonnaHomeInspector.com)for a clue. To avoid reading ahead and spoiling the answer, I’ll be back to post the answer to this puzzle in a short while. (That’s another clue in and of itself) 😉 ---

Welcome Steve. I’d take that ACHI offer seriously. That’s a great deal. Looks like a good bunch of guys over there. I’ve got to get my arse in gear and sign up myself. Petawawa eh? Doesn’t get much Canuckier than that! I’ve had some good times at CFB Petawawa and Pembroke during my service days. All the best to you and your “keeper”. ---

It was not a bad “We will be waiting”. The guys and gals in InterNACHI are great people. You will learn a lot from them. Sometimes though you will get nailed by people like Meeker and linus. Just take there negetive comments with a grain of salt and learn from the masters like I do. ---

No… to your post. Yes… I’ve now clicked your link three times to help your SEO. If you were a true student of “The Nick”, you would have created another web page with a link for me to click, to get to another page with a link to click, and so on, and so on, and so on… [Next page](https://forum.nachi.org/t/introduction-hello/58143.md?page=2)
