I read a post this morning that was very well written and made some good points.
The blog was written by:

The blog post title was "Get off your blog!"
I have thinking about this subject a lot lately. Maybe we should start a "blogger-anonymous" group.
You know, it is just way too easy to sit down at our computers and just waste a day away. The world has become so computerized that we have almost made our world into a "hermit" type, meaning we can get on our computers and spend the day being in touch with the whole world around us but having no personal contact. Losing that personal contact has caused this world we live in to become callous and cold to one another.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not against computers in any way. I think the advances of technology over the past few years has just been amazing. We are now able to do things at the click of a mouse that never would have been possible before the advent of the computer world we live in.
Over the past few days I have written some blogs on the things that it seems like no one ever does anymore and what doing those things could do to your business. Things like sending thank you cards, etc. Getting out there and having the personal touch, so to speak.
There is no better time of year than right now to get out there and deliver your "personal touch". Around the Christmas holidays people are generally more receptive towards others and not so quick to judge the intentions of your actions. After all haven't you noticed that more people greet each other and do nice things for each other around this time of year?
Becoming a "hermit agent" (hey I think I just coined a new phrase!) can really have drastic results on your business. You simply must get out there and, as we say in the south, get 'amongst 'em. Sitting in the office and waiting for the phone to ring or waiting for that Internet lead that is usually six months out before they are ready simply is not going to get you to where you want to be in your career. PERIOD.
In my office we have many newer agents. I have been slated with the task of teaching our Keller Williams Camp 4:4:3 class, Open houses and FSBO's, and not only has then been a great experience for both I and my students it has showed me that the newer agents have yet to "hermitize" themselves and are still at the point in their career where they have not learned that they cannot do something. It is amazing, one of the agents that I taught is out there knocking on FSBO door's everyday this week. I know agents that are way more seasoned than her who have NEVER done this. Do you think there will be some success from this? YOU BET! Why? It's the personal touch that I am talking about, getting out there and getting 'amongst 'em.
So I encourage you to take some time today and get out there and meet a few people, shake a few hands and maybe even better your business. So I am saying, get out there and go buy your Santa hat (See my other blog) and as Suzanne Sands said..."GET OFF YOUR BLOG!"
Well, ok, just for a little while....
