I have been on AR a week now-Gosh the time has just flown by! When did I have time to do any business this week? This is so addictive! Since I have to start my day at 5:30am each morning due to family obligations, I find that I can be productive building my business through the "blogosphere" for the first 2 hours of my day. Then I can go out and market myself in the community.

I have actually written several posts-of which 3 have been featured-OK I don't want to open the "Featured" can of worms so I am just stating fact. I don't know why, I wasn't trying-I just opened up and it all rolled out onto the page.

From my posts you will see that I am big on training and education, as well as learning from bad situations I have been in training positions most of my life-so it comes easy-and I love to watch as others grow along with me.

Listed below are some of my favorite posts of the week-some because they have been helpful in learning this site, some for helping to build my business and some that are motivating to help me get off the Butt and get some work done.

Revisiting Barbrshop Marketing with Brian Brady

Instructions, Getting started on AR with Mario Levesque

Cliff or Trampoline with Brande Bradford

Buy a Brand New House with Don Rich

Relationship building is such a big part of this business. Although online relationships seem very plastic and one sided many times. I think it is a start. I have had phone conversation with three people on the list below, so the relationship grows beyond the Blog. Are any of your favorites here?

I am always open and looking for creative ideas to market myself as my business and it seems I always run across post from Brande Bradford . She seems to add another outstanding marketing idea every day or two.

Of course when looking for "what to do if" scenarios. I look for Lenn Harley or as she states in one of her posts  "Lenn 'What does the contract say' Harley"

Just for great information, training and interesting posts you cannot miss Colleen Kulikowski is the best.

Robert McArtor has been a great help both on the phone and in his posts.

AR is the best! and I truly can see my business growing because of the relationship building here!
