great post Dan. It is sad to hear about agents leaving the business. The key is to Don't Give Up and be persistent. Nice Job

Hi Joe,

 Thank you!  I am actively pursuing more visibility to encourage people!

Great post Dan....... unfortunately way too many give up at the first sign of adversity. As we all know.... if something has worth..... it comes with a price...... we just need to determine how much of a price.... and how much effort we are willing to expend.

have Fun,

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your comment.  Overcoming obstacles does require identifying and paying a price. 

I think my friend paid some huge prices and he functions better as a conflict manager.  We must all find our particular place with the right people in the right time.

Hi Dan, Welcome to Active Rain.  After reviewing your posts and web site, I am really looking forward to hearing more from you!  I especially love your line, "There is no testimony without a test."  Great observation!

Hi Earlene,

Thank you so much for your encouragement.  I have experienced a recent test of how to become visible.  I now have a testimony.  I learned from one of my professors in my amazing doctoral studies that visibility is much more important than ability.  How could I become visible?  My wife asked me to do blogs on Active Rain.  She was the answer to my question. 

If people don't know we are, they cannot be encouraged!

Thank you, again, Earlene!
