That Moment?

I will never forget the day I started to get it. It started with my own personal business website. It wasn't showing up on any terms and I started researching SEO. I spoke to a few guys (experts heh) and decided I had the time to learn this myself. After 6 months I got my business ranking on dozens of keywords and started helping friends with their sites as well. But the moment I really started to understand it was when I got a call from a business in Florida telling me my site was ranking number one in their state. My goal from the beginning was top three ranking in serps nationwide for my industry and I was there. Now since than I have done it again and again and not just for my own sites but for friends as well.

MY Question is This:

What was your first moment or first big goal you met? I love these stories and would love to hear some of yours. Maybe its a monetary thing maybe its a number of visitors etc. Just tell me about that breakthrough moment that you all had~
