Craig's journey speaks to all of us 'Rainers. From a hopeless/homeless person on the mean streets to a high-flying top producer, he shows what you can accomplish with a can-do attitude, stick-to-it-iveness, and some ace Photoshop skills.

All he needs to do now is modify the seats in the Craigster-1 and the sky is the limit!

Read his heartfelt, lavishly illustrated story and just try to keep a straight face  the tears back.

Via Craig Rutman North Carolina (Raleigh Area) Realtor (Home Buyer and Seller Specialist):

 

Before ActiveRain I was just another starving Realtor looking for a listing in all the wrong places….

Looking for a listing in all the wrong places...You know that old song!

As I started making friends here in the Rain, I grew my referral base and got my first listing referral…..

This one should sell quickly!

Then, before I knew it, I had over 100 subscribers, lots of new friends and referral partners,  and my business grew and grew.

It was then that I traded in my old car…

My first car!

… for a new one…

My new car!

I was even able to afford the Craigster-1 with all the business I was getting from my efforts here in ActiveRain…

The Craigster 1

Now, I’m happy, fat and content….

All because of ActiveRain!

I can't believe I ate the whoe thing!

See what one can do when you make up your mind to do something. That old car was a real "attention getter" for sure.

<-------This guy is nothing short of Brilliant!!!

And this post? OMG, it's Pulitzer Prize worthy! It's the classic rags to riches story. I see a screenplay in the making!

Now who to play Craig's part? Tom Cruise? George Clooney? Brad Pitt? Nah, let's see if Don Knotts is available!!!

All kidding aside Robin, thank you for thinking this post was worthy enough for a re-blog. On a serious note, please seek medical attention immediately for thinking this post was worthy enough for a re-blog!!! Fortunately for you, the doctor is in!

The doctor is in!

Well, if we're talking about doctors now, then George Clooney is the obvious choice!

Hysterical post, Robin. I don't know about that last photo, though. I mean, couldn't he have put on some pants and still pull off the intended joke?
