When building a small business, it's all about setting goals and milestones and when you achieve themCelebration it's about celebrating. So my fellow Active Rain buddies,

I'm celebrating this milestone of 10,000 POINTS and still growing my Home Staging business here in Utah!

In addition to a cool 10,000, what do I have to show for my efforts?

  • Wisdom by the bucket-fulls: The things I have learned on this site amaze me. It seems that whether the topic is about a staging technique or idea, marketing, Real Estate in general or SEO, it's all here for all who wish to learn. Alternatively, it's a great place to show our own expertise as well. 
  • Exceptional People: What a terrific group of people who are not only working hard to make their business a success, but who are always willing to ANSWER silly or tough questions from us newbies, ASK pertinent questions and even offer subtle critiques when necessary.

What a fantastic group of representatives for the staging profession in general.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my learning and listened to my venting on this great network.

Here's to Milestones!

Debra, congratulations on your AR accomplishment.  Just keep resetting your goals, keep reciprocating comments and keep creating those blog posts and before you know it (well, maybe that's not completely true) you will reach another milestone.  It's too bad that more agents and realtors don't understand the real value here.

Thanks to all of youfor celebrating with me (and helping me every time I have one of those silly questions)!

Ginger: You are correct. there is so much valuable info here on AR, (as well as opportunities to show you know your stuff) for ALL professions related to Real Estate, it amazes me how few of them take advantage of this great oopportunity.

Thanks Kate! The last half is sort of like your gas tank, the second half goes quicker than the first half (smile).

Congratulations Debra! I have found the same thing about AR. I'm not even half as far as you, but it's amazing what I've learned. I can't believe how helpful others are and how much they are willing to share.

Sorry I didn't catch this the first time around!  Congrats on reaching the 10,000 point mark!  You are at 16,000 now and going strong.  It will be 20,000 before you know it.  Keep up the great work!
