Weltanschauung-It Is Who We Are And What We Made

By
Home Stager

 

...And Continue to Make

If you are wondering why you’re seeing all of these posts about Community Guidelines and Weltanschauung, it’s because Lynn B. Friedman is once again hosting her annual Blog Jumpstart Challenge.

 

Pronunciation aside, Weltanschauung sets forth a blueprint for what this weltanschauungcommunity is about and what it hoped to become.

Organizations, corporations, even countries have some kind of “Who We Are” or “What We Stand For” section on their website or in their charter.

 

As I was reading the many posts here about Weltanschauung and rereading Weltanschauung again, the last section struck me. We and that is the collective you and me and the many who came before us, have indeed built a community that is focused on educating one another.

You can’t help but learn something here if you spend even just one hour a day reading the many posts here.

You may not think that a Market Report from Donald Urschalitz in Palm Beach Gardens offers any benefit to you. However, when your friend or client in the north tells you that they’re thinking of moving to South Florida for warmer weather, having read some of his reports gives you an edge. You’ll have an idea of what the market and area are like.

 

Like any community, ActiveRain is never stagnant. As new members come aboard and as analytics and SEO change, ActiveRain continues to grow and adjust.

 

Unlike a brick and mortar business, the community can expand where and when it is needed.  

It continues to grow because members can see not just the business that comes with targeted blogging but also the value in the relationships you make here.

 

That said, YOU are an important part of the community and of this growth.

Every comment you make, every post you write, every phone call or meeting you have with another member adds to the growth of this community.

As a property owner in Palm Beach County but mainly in Oklahoma City I find Don's post about market conditions very helpful and I look forward to them.

I like your example as I got a call today from an agent across the country who saw my market reports this week and has reffered a client to me. I have to say it is the people who are active here that make Active Rain what it is Kathy Streib

It's funny just how many members I could identify from a distance without even looking that closely at your heart photo.

Whenever I hear of anyone looking for a referral in another area, my first thought is to turn to AR and see who is contributing meaningful info and who knows their market.

Kathy the ActiveRain Weltanschauung was not around when I started, but it wasn't long before one was needed.

Donald Urschalitz consumers want this kind of information when they're thinking of relocating to an area. 

Sham Reddy Thank you!!!

Sally K. & David L. Hanson I was out most of the morning so couldn't tell. Yesterday I ran into some issues.

James Dray we've seen a lot of changes.

Joe Pryor it's fun reading about the different markets and learning about what areas are thriving. 

Barbara Todaro you're right about that. Fortunately, we have a very strong group of members.

Sharon Tara and when someone changes their profile photo, it often takes me a while to recognize them. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel Thank you!   Haven't checked the news today but hope that you both are still safe.

Susan Haughton exactly!  We can learn from their blog about their market but also learn about them. 

George Souto I'll bet it was a lot different!!!!

Hi Kathy, I believe like you do that these relationships matter and it is powerful having connections across the country. I blew up the collage and found so many that are not posting regularly or that have passed. That is another fact, it is a changing community.

Hi Kathy Streib, learning on a daily basis and making our phones ring in result of blogging is huge but ActiveRain is a lot more than that. The friendships we built will last a lifetime if we so choose.
