A Rainbow of Success - 01/31/11 07:44 PM
I am SO proud of all of you who have completed the January challenge!  This was not an easy task as many of you have expressed.
Here are a few highlights I've had emailed to me today:
I'm so excited - I can't believe I actually did it! Thank you for inspiring a previously "Never Blogged Before in My Life" blogger. I promised my wife that I would stop blogging so much until the phone rang and it was a potential client who found me through my blog post!  I had become a lazy "poster child" and a resolution for 2011 … (29 comments)

Success time!  It warms my heart to hear how AR has directly attributed to your success.  Through your blogging efforts and determination many of you can attribute serious $ to your presence here on the 'Rain.
I recently went to the Picasso exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum (if it comes to your city, I highly recommend it).  Picasso once said "Action is the foundational key to all success".  Action, action, action!  Let's get Active!!!
If you have yet to write your own success story, I urge you to do so.  Simply go to your profile page and click "edit" … (48 comments)

It's been a great week here at AR Headquarters.  We're very lucky to have such a rad staff that cares deeply about this community.  On any given day, we'll throw your names around and IM funny blog posts to each other that you have written.  Our borders do not confine us to these walls here in Seattle yet open us up to all the happenings in your neck of the woods.
I hope everyone has a fantastic, successful weekend.  If you need a little kick in the pants, check out the success stories of a few members below.  We've worked our … (47 comments)

I've Been Tagged! - 01/18/11 06:01 PM
Gerry Michaels just tagged me in what is a really cool and fun post.  This is a way for us to get to know one another on a more personal level.  I am game and hope my fellow AR friends whom I have tagged will play along as well!
What is YOUR Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is 2011. I'd also like to know more about you, and your background, what is it about you that makes this BHAG so important?  What experiences are you bringing with you into 2011 that will make this BHAG work? So I'm asking you to please … (28 comments)

Everyone open up your umbrellas.....because we are getting soaked here in the Rain!  I think you guys are in kick butt mode as the New Year has brought on new resolutions.  I'm digging the recent posts about this sale closing from your hyper local blog post or this offer accepted through a lead generated from your market report post or a referral from another AR member.  I hope these kind of stories inspire those of you yet to see it to believe.  It happens; Every. Single. Day.  
YOU create your own success.  So if you truly believe you are capable … (58 comments)

Friendly Skies? - 01/10/11 07:19 PM
I've said it before and I'll say it again, going to RainCamps and getting to meet AR members face to face is my favorite aspect of my job.  To shake a hand or embrace a hug with you is the absolute best.
However....for every sweet there is a little sour?  For every triumph a caveat?  TRAVELLING!!!!
Gone are the days when people would dress to the nines and look forward to flying.  The scene in Catch Me If You Can where the flight attendants and the pilots look perfect and all have smiles is something I have yet to see.  Don't … (27 comments)

2011 is off to a roaring start!  Headquarters is abuzz with excitement of the new year and with that comes new goals and mountains to climb to make it a successful one.  Bring it!  
AR has helped many of you have a successful 2010 and you're still here so I'm assuming you're looking forward to more this year.  Push yourself, take on new challenges, pick up the phone, blog away and smile.  It's your time to shine, you have the whole year in front of you.  You're like a brand new baby....fresh start.  Do it!
If you have yet to … (46 comments)
