2015 BIG Blog Jumpstart Challenge - Success for YOU via YOUR Blogging #2

 Lynn Friedman is sponsoring an ActiveRain challenge this month titled 2015 BIG Blog Jumpstart Challenge - Success for YOU via YOUR Blogging.  One of the requirements in Lynn's challenge is for us to write "One post about an idea from the  Weltanschauung that most resonates for you."

I joined ActiveRain in September of 2006, but the Weltanschauung of ActiveRain were not written until a few years later.  However, everything within the Weltanschauung was understood by members, so myself and all the ActiveRain members before the creation of the Weltanschauung did not have an excuse to say "WE DID NOT KNOW".

In my previous blog in this challenge I wrote about the "Community Guideline of ActiveRain" which spoke to me most.  In this blog I will write about the Weltanschauung of ActiveRain guideline which resonates to me most, Point #10.

Point #10 of the Weltanschauung of ActiveRain states: 

"ActiveRain believes that it is in the best interests of real estate professionals to build a community that is focused on educating one another. ActiveRain believes its future depends on members of all experience levels openly sharing their experiences and best practices with others in the field. This communal dialogue offers a unique opportunity for professional growth and is the way to share in the dynamism and excitement that constitutes the modern real estate business."
 
The statement above more so than any other is the one I try to incorporate within my blogs.  I do write blogs about my community and events going on within it, but the main focus of my blogs are to share what I know about the Lending Industry, Guidelines, Programs, and on going changes within the Lending Industry.  In turn I also look for blogs about other areas of the Real Estate Industry I am less familiar with, so I can learn about those areas. The members of ActiveRain are a tremendous source of knowledge and information.  ActiveRain is a living tutorial on anything and everything anyone wants to know about all areas of the Real Estate Industry.
 
I firmly believe if we all followed the statement above we will be a far stronger community here on ActiveRain.  If we all follow the spirit within that statement above, the values contained within Weltanschauung of ActiveRain would automatically be followed.
 
If you have not read the Weltanschauung of ActiveRain, I strongly encourage you to do so, even if you think you know them all.  Even those who have been a part of this community from the beginning, like myself, would do well to read them at the beginning of every year.  Thank you Lynn for initiating this  2015 BIG Blog Jumpstart Challenge - Success for YOU via YOUR Blogging.  If it was not for the challenge I might not have gone back to read the Weltanschauung of ActiveRain.
