Go For the Gold - ActiveRain Olympic Contest

 

The Excitement is high for the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics! 


While I was Reaching your goals with the ActiveRain Olympic Contestlistening to several Olympian athletes talk about what it took to get where they're at today, I was deeply inspired by their dedication, hard work, focus and passion for their sport.

It got me thinking about where I'm at right now today with my real estate business, where I said I wanted to be at this point and where I want to be by the years end.  I've got some serious work to do that is going to take extraordinary focus, hard work, team support and passion. I'm ready to take on a couple of huge projects that will bring me to me year ends goal that I clearly see in my mind.

 

Here's what I've been hearing every Olympic Athlete say as to what it takes to get to where they're at today - the London 2012 Olympics


 

  • Years and years and years of hard work
  • Pushing even harder even when they're exhausted
  • Believing and Seeing their end goal
  • Absolutely 100% Focus on their goal
  • Being passionate and loving their sport
  • Having team spirit of co-operation and spirit
  • Fierce Competition while remaining best friends
  • Pressure beyond pressure and then some
  • Cheering Supporters telling them Go For It, You Can Do It!

 

 


Are you ready to Go For The Gold?  Many of us have been in real estate for years and some of us are relative newbies to the 'sport'.  Where ever you're at right now, today, you've most likely worked hard for many years to accomplish your goals and aspirations. Are your ready to take a serious look at the goals you set for 2012 and be honest with yourself as to what the real truth is?  And if you've accomplished everything in a big way so far are you ready to KICK it to a higher level than ever before?  This ActiveRain Olympic Contest is for those who want to STRETCH their minds, goals, hearts and put their all into the contest and their goals for their business.  It's not a contest for wimpy goals or stuff you've already accomplished! Don't go there!  


 Let's raise the bar REALLY high on this  ActiveRain Olympic Contest! 


This is a contest for Gold Medal  ActiveRain Achievers!  I invite you to take a hard long look at what you really want and getting a plan in place to achieve it. It is a contest where reaching out to other ActiveRainers for ideas, coaching, whatever is needed is part of the contest.


Everyone will compete as individuals but Team Co-operation and 
Co-laboration is part of the ActiveRain Olympic Contest!

 

  • If you read someones posts that you know are really good at what you're not so good at....call them and ask for support. 
  • If you're eager to take on a new Social Media Campaign reach out to the experts at IMSD the -Internet Marketing Specialist Designation. These guys/gals know what they're doing and can help you reach your goals with hard work.
     
  • If you want to be a Listing Master contact Margaret Rome - she is a Master Listing Agent.  And she's got her very own book - Home Rome.
     
  • If you're wanting to become a Marketing Expert contact Barbara Todaro - she is our resident expert on drumming up new business. She rocks!
     
I could name hundreds more ActiveRainers that are experts in their field. The level of experts within our community is mind blowing!  Reach out and ask them to be your coach, cheerleader and team player for the Active Rain Olympic Contest.

Hi Anna,

I kept on getting the pear shape error, when I tried uploading my photos.

The photos worked this morning, so I did a new post with the photos added.
