It's very exciting. The "AHA" moment of change and evolution. I remember when I "GOT IT" here in the Rain. It takes some time to "GET IT". You are not quite sure....you just know you know something....can't quite put your finger on it and then "BANG" realization.
Now you've "GOT IT" and you "CAN'T GET ENOUGH FAST ENOUGH". That's how it went for me personally on learning and evolving into a "BLOGGER". It's been a wonderful transformation for me on a personal level and on a business level. The "NEW" me would not want to be the "OLD" me. I am so excited about the future and all it can bring.
I tend to be an evangelist by nature. I use to sit in what we like to call the "Bull Pen". I was surrounded by a great group of people that are very collaborative in nature. We are all very dedicated to our business and share knowledge and experience in a broad sense (technology, real estate, marketing, etc.). So, of course....I was always evangelizing blogging and Active Rain. They would be polite, but you could tell that in their minds "Yeah, Yeah....right" was being thought. They are all so kind and good that they put up with my endless chatter about blogging and the events taking place in the RAIN.
My broker in our one-on-one's would listen patiently and then change the subject to action-based activities and results. He's good...keeps me on track.
At our award breakfast, this year....he mentioned me as the "Web 2.0" blogging lady"....I think that's how he said it. He said "Personally, I haven't been convinced but she's making it work". This is not the exact quote...but somewhat near. This is only back in February.
Somewhere between February and March, my broker, Ross Domke talked with Jim Cronin of the Real Estate Tomatoe and he had the "AHA" moment and "GOT IT".
HOW EXCITING IS THAT! WE ARE NOW GOING FOR IT! ENTRY INTO THE BLOGOSPHERE AND I AM SO EXCITED.
My key group/team was the central core of the "technology group" that met weekly to discuss the latest and greatest technology stuff. In this group we turned to discussing "blogging" and now this core group will be the intial contributors to the new website that is being built for our company.
WOW.....IS THIS COOL....OR WHAT! How did this MAGIC happen. I am so happy for my core group, my broker and the company. We are going to sling shot forward from the "dark ages" to "enlightenment". I am sure there for "THE RIDE" and I am so looking forward to what this will do for us all. How cool is my broker. The team at The Tomatoe are awesome...as well. It's like I died and whent to HEAVEN....TOMATOE HEAVEN!
That sounds great let us know when it is up and running so we can all visit.
