What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-July 14 to July 20, 2019

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! 

 

joseph dominoJuly 14: Joseph Domino The Most Important Point

Great motivational post to begin the week!!!

 

 

barbara todaroJuly 15: Barbara Todaro   In Real Estate There is Business Beyond the Business Plan

Great post from Barbara. Business plans are good for many but you have to see beyond them. 

 

ron and alexandra seigelRon and Alexandra Seigel Monday Inspiration: The Gift of Understanding

Love the quotes and I think it's a gift we could all work on.

 

 

 

robert sicilianoJuly 16: Robert Siciliano Reinforce Your Door With the Door Devil

As Debe Maxwell, CRS this could make a good housewarming gift.

 

rich jacobsonRich Jacobson Who Are the Heroes?

Very interesting and thought-provoking post. I neglected to add Larry in my comment but that goes without saying. Who are your heroes?

 

 

debb janes and bernie steaJuly 17: Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD The Trails of the Columbia River Gorge-A Reminder to Share the Path

Beautiful photos and a timely reminder at the end.

Excellent information and not just for those in Arizona!!! Stay hydrated and don't forget to replace your electrolytes!!!

 

 

beth atalayJuly 18: Beth Atalay What a Difference a Year Makes For Sellers

Beth offers stats and, what I appreciate, an explanation. The bonus is if you read the comments you can see what's going on in other areas.

 

 

scott godzykJuly 19: Scott Godzyk Are You a BOO Agent?

Interesting post from Scott! Every agent is in a different situation but this is food for thought.

 

leanne smithLeanne Smith Do You Resist or Embrace Fears?

Another great inspirational post from Leanne. How would you answer the questions she asked a group??

 

 

sally and david hansonJuly 20: Sally and David Hanson Teach Your Sellers Well...you must have a code that you can live by

If you work with sellers and even if you don't this is a good post to read!!

What do you think? More pondering for the week.

Hi Kathy-I had caught 2 of these. This morning I especially enjoyed Rich Jacobsen' s. While there are heroes in this world. I think the word can get overused.
