A different look at 10-10-10...
10-10-10!! I have been obsessed with the number ten just waiting for TODAY. It was a good day. I worked at two open houses and met some nice potential customers. I laughed and shared time with my loved ones. I am now spending time with other professionals in the RAIN, learning more about my ACTION PLAN, that I hope to review with a smile on 11-11-11!
Yes, it is 10-10-10!
What is 10-10-10?
Simply put, in layman's term, it's today's date. (This is the unison of ALL date formats...weather it is India where they use DD-MM-YY format or USA where we use MM-DD-YY or some other country that use YY-MM-DD).
Well, we are Realtors(r) and we always derive new meanings from the simplest things we come across in our life. Some of them are presented to you in this post....
So, what is 10-10-10?

Another meaning of 10-10-10?
If you Google it, you'll come across an amazing book by Suzy Welsh - I happened to listen to her interview on one of the night radio talk shows where she talks about a life transforming idea of 10-10-10.
With 10-10-10, Suzy Welch proposes a transformative solution to deal with this pressure, as she shares her own life-tested strategy to help us regain control of our choices - and reclaim our lives.
The basic idea of the book is this: Before you make a decision, consider how it will affect you in ten minutes, ten months, and ten years.
One more positive outlook to 10-10-10 from the website named LaughingSquid.
Heather Champ is encouraging people to commemorate 10/10/10 with a photograph, to honor a most auspicious day.
For agents/brokers/lenders who attended Brian Buffini's Turning Point this year (in 2010), we had 10 minutes to write our 10-day goals. A neat idea to focus on short term activities to achieve long-term success.
A little enhanced version of Tom Ferry's meaning for 10-10-10 -- Achieve Level 10 in your life - 10 in Personal, 10 in Professional and 10 in Spritual Sphere of life. (Well, that's my enhanced version!)
So on this date, 10-10-10, 10th October, 2010...
I commit on my 10-10-10.
I commit to write 10 blog posts (that will have provide some useful information to RainMakers or will share some great ideas or events) and 10 re-blogs of the posts each week that are worth mentioning along with at least 10 meaninigful comments on the blogs daily (after reading them and not a few words comment --- like excellent, thanks for sharing etc.)
And an additional commitment for 10-10-10: Be at level 10 (Thanks, Tom Ferry) at least for next 10 weeks to see the results of my consistancy and commitment in 10 months (or sooner)
Some of you will read this on 10-11-10 (or perhaps later). In that case, make a commitment to write 10 blogs a week and 11 re-blogs every weeks (or whatever the date is)- so what if you don't get points - with 10 comments on those posts which are worthy of special mentions.
My commitments starts today - and I still have to post two meaningful blogs this week - before it's midnight!
