At our mid-year training yesterday the speaker spend some time discussing "big rocks" in our workday. In other words, focusing on what is important before letting small details takeover the day. Great advice, well worth relearning from time to time.
At lunch the conversation centered on our "big rocks". Okay, we did talk about the latest episode of Dallas first, but then it was down to business. I mentioned ActiveRain as one of my big rocks. Posting listings, market reports, client-interest blogs, all have generated money for this guy. Not to mention the free education and learning from agents around the country.
One of the other agents told me she quit ActiveRain due to a lack of time. "Doug, I enjoyed ActiveRain. In fact, I was even a Rain Monk. But who has time to keep up with all that"?
This was a reoccurring them at the table. AR is great, but who has all that free time? In their defense each is a successful agent who managed to survive (heck even thrive) during the Great Recession. But they are wrong about ActiveRain.
This Summer I have been getting up early and staying up late to keep my blog going. Just like high school, sometimes the herd is headed in the wrong direction.
