ACTIVE RAIN ROCKS
When I left to go on vacation for the holidays a few days ago, we had close to 100,000 points. I figured when I got back home in Philadelphia, I could post a blog entry and break the 100,000 barrier. But sometimes you get points overnight due to blog comments made on your blog which is what happened as I noticed yesterday that the 100,000 point barrier was broken !
Maybe that is one of my birthday presents as I turned 40 on December 27th. Is a little scary but am okay with it. I am fortunate to have a great life with a great family and to be with my wife Stephanie who makes every day special.
In any event, when I first started on Active Rain, I would post a blog entry every 10,000 points to celebrate. At 50,000 points I told myself that I would not do one until 100,000 points so here we are ! I thought it would take forever a day but it did not take too long. More importantly though, in the Active Rain journey, we have learned so much - the people are awesome, and the resources are just amazing. It is incredible that there is now over 126,000 members, many of which have 200,000 points and above, some having 500,000 points and above !
The point system I think is brilliant as it helps all of us have a little competition as well as providing a little motivation. Below is our snapshot of points.
It is amazing to think we have made 2,608 comments ! That is a lot of comments : ) Is also amazing that we have received 2776 comments. I love Active Rain ! Active Rain rocks ! My goal is always to post 3 to 5 new blog posts per week and to make at least 10 comments a day. Making comments is awesome because you get to learn a lot at the same time !
So it is special to me that we have hit this milestone on my 40th birthday which was December 27. I feel like I am still 20 years younger and act like it sometimes too !
My message to any new Active Rainer or any blogger is that if we can do it, you can do it too ! And while you do, you get to meet a lot of new and wonderful people, learn a great deal, and position yourself to do more business !!! How cool is that ?
Here is to a great 2009 for all of us !
