What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-October 20 to October 26, 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!

candice donofrioOctober 26: Candice A. Donofrio It ISN'T Our Fee Or What We Do. It's Who and What We Know.

I love how Candice put this in a different perspective than what we're used to reading. Show your clients who and what you know and defending your fee goes on the back burner.

Thank you Donald Urschalitz Last night's game was amazing. We thought there might be two Grand Slams in one inning but not!  I'm so nervous...I can hardly watch the games.

Kathy Streib Tammy is sitting in the heavy driving rain.... I hope she listened to her mother.... dress properly....  I hope she has a very large sheet of plastic over her entire body.... and she tailgated for hours before the game....

I have my pellet stove cranking.... I made soup.... and I'm resting my tired muscles...

Tammy is a fan but she likes the tailgating... it must be youth!!!  or she's got a screw loose to be out in 50 degree weather with wind and sheets of rain....ugh
