Hey Apprentices! Get Over Yourselves!!!

OK, I've about had it with all of the whining around here :)

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Some are quitting and some are whining and some are outright freaking out!

Take a chill pill!

As your punishment, I want EVERY Apprentice to write a post on the following:

1) List your top 10 favorite Active Rain Bloggers (and not your own!)

2) List your top 10 favorite Real Estate Blogs NOT on Active Rain (and not your own!)

3) Pick one piece of advice from EACH COACH and list it in a blog post for others to learn from. NOT a link to a coach article ,but an ACTUAL piece of advice FROM an article that taught you something valuable.

I want to see three articles from every Apprentice that acknowledge great Active Rain Bloggers, Great Bloggers outside of Active Rain, and the Coaches who provided advices for your benefit and everyone else's!

AND STOP THE WHINING! IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT YOU! :)

Ardell - that's probably great advice for all of us - thanks for giving us a dose of reality! I hope some take the challenge - those are posts I'd love to read.

LUV it! Great idea. Maybe it will help with some of the negativity recently. Good advice Ardell!

Good advice for all whiners, not just apprentices. They might even learn something from your assignment.

Ardell - you are too cool for words! I've never considered myself a whiner, but I will take on your challenge, after I return from Orlando.

I whine when it is warranted. Bull sh*t I'll do the homework. Did you see that it took Laurie Manny to come down on the competition for JW to show his face. ooooooo.

ARDELL, You really know how to give a spanking, don't you! As mentioned, your suggestions are a great assignment for anyone... not just the apprentices.

Ardell - I agree...you are too cool for words!. I also never considered myself a whiner and I will take your challenge, after I get back from Las Vegas.

Great advice!

Hi ARDELL,

I will tackle this just as soon as post my next blog. Thanks for the idea.

Take care,

Tisza

Hi Again,

I started on the homework and then realized that I need to put more time into it to be truly fair and accurate. I will publish my efforts as they are completed.

Take care,

Tisza

Ardell,

You are right but the problem is that it will never ever end. Soon people will be whining about the weather.

I think some of the whining posts are getting attention because they like their name up in lights...they have nothing better to do but to complain about other people...who cares? Is their life that boring that they have to privately bash others...why don't they pick up the phone or email them..hek...Ill meet any one of them in the parking lot if it will make them happy...I think I might only post localism stuff from now on..I already graduated from high-school.

Way to tell em Ardell! LOL....You crack me up!

Neal

You are so off base. I don't need to see my name in lights, brotha---I'm already a star and it is not in a forum 'like' AR.

Ooh, I love it when you bossy, ARDELL! :oD Actually, this would be kind of fun to do for everyone, but I want to see if they'll take up your challenge.

LOL Neal!!!

That's MY line!

ARDELL - I smile. I might just do your home work because it looks like fun but only if I have time. they keep me so busy i sit here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon working on an emergency CMA. I do have one question, what if they don't do their homework? What is the penalty? I think they should have to read each coaches first five blog entries so they can see how awful we were. Yours was maybe wonderful but it took me awhile, like 4 months to really get how to do it.

Thanks Teresa for chiming in with a bit of reality. It is really hard to be judged week after week against and by the best. I know it will take me a bit longer to 'get it'.

A very big THANKS for letting us apprentices know the reality of how you learned. I love people who are real!

That's why you are one of my favorites.

Teresa,

I had my first blog client 14 days after I started blogging...and never haven't had one since. I was "a natural". Though you wouldn't know that from the crap I post on AR :)

I've said it before.....I'm so glad I'm not an apprentice. =D

But this homework would probably suit all of us real well anyway.

What a great post! Over the weekend I added 5 new rss subscriptions form Jeff's favorite's posts. What a great coach.

Thank you Jonathan :)

Ardell, You ROCK!!!!
THe idea of what one CAN do to make a difference, instead of whining is just brilliant

Maggie

You just COULD NEVER know.

I think the "whining" term has been tossed around very lightly. I don't think "whining" is at all the correct term. I think it would be more like expressing what we have been going through on the blog.....HEY, is that called blogging??????

So, we are not whining...we are BLOGGING.

Apprentices?

Hey Kevin, would you like some cheese with that "blogging"?? : )

LOL...I love this string. Cheese with your blogging. Are you going to San Francisco Ines? I don't have my hotel room yet!!

I won't Ardell and SF is one of my favorite cities too. We'll be in Bimini (The Bahamas) with the kids - we take the boat there for a week every year, it's the highlight of our Summer.

That's OK. I'm going to make it to Florida when the weather gets colder.

You better call....I would love to meet you. (in person, that is......because I already feel like I know you)

Ines,

"FLUFFERNUTTER" (JCM)! ENOUGH SAID.

LOL! : )

ARDELL and I will be in the smoking section outside laughing like fools at INMAN

Kevin doesn't smoke. He just likes to hang out with "euros" that do :)

Hey...I'm picking up the lingo...no?

Euros--

Totally! It's like saying "Birkenstock" in Seattle
