I wrote a post yesterday, WordPress for Beginners and as I continue on the adventure of learning and sharing the way forward of building out a unique and successful blog site one small step at a time that we can handle in our busy lives, it occured to me this morning that I wanted to add something very important here.
Here is the thought. If I had the most successful blog site that generated so much business that I would have to give away many many leads, would I ever leave ActiveRain and just focus my blogging efforts on that site. Please let me be very very clear for all of our newer members. NEVER! Here is just a few reasons why.
I learned blogging right here in ActiveRain. I learned about sharing my strenghts with others as they shared theirs. And building many new ones I would have never even dreamed of. I learned about building relationships that have already endured for years with people just like me. I learned about technology and have been afforded opportunities that are so powerful, that I learned how to control my own business. When economic times get slow, I know how to create eneregy that changes the outcome. I built friendships that will last my entire lifetime of people just like me who want others to prosper. They are the givers. If you don't know what a giver is, look around your own office and you will likley see plenty of evidence of what a giver isn't. I have met those that are genius in creativity and understand the value of empowering others with their talent. I met the best , the brightest and other people just like me. People with the same challenges, people who understand the values of our country, our culture and who can share their love of their family, friends, community. No, ActiveRain is a GIFT. It represents the best not only in our real estate industry but in all the related fields. ActiveRain is so unique it defies words or comparisons. And that is simply because there has never been nor likley ever will be a network that has touched as many lives in such wondeful, empowering and enduring ways.
Just thought I would clear this up. So if your wondering about ActiveRain and you haven't experienced all these things that I mentioned as yet, stay with it, they will come just as surely as the Sun will come up tomorrow. Lest you forget this, the Sun comes up whether you can see it or not but it is still there, I promise.
