Discovering Your Inner Strength

It's not often enough that I take the time to honor and recognize some of our outstanding members and contributors here on ActiveRain. Today I want to share with you a particular member I think you all need to know about.

One of our ActiveRain Founding Members, Patti Kouri joins Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy & Stephen Covey in a new book, "Discover Your Inner Strength." According to a PRWeb Press Release Newswire this morning, it looks like one of our very own has been discovered, and is well on her way to a very successful and exciting future.

"Patti Kouri, keynote speaker and author, has been selected from a
nationwide search to be featured in Discover Your Inner Strength, a highly successful book series from Tennessee based Insight Publishing. The book features best-selling authors Stephen R. Covey (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People), Brian Tracy (Million Dollar Habits), and Ken Blanchard (One Minute Manager). Patti Kouri, Blanchard, Covey and Canfield, are joined by other well known authors and speakers, each offering time-tested strategies for success in frank and intimate interviews." see full article

Patti has been a contributing member of ActiveRain since February 6, 2008, when she posted her very first article, "TOP TEN PROFIT HOLES". She has since posted some great value-added articles for her readers and our members. I have really enjoyed reading her Blog and watching her grow on ActiveRain. Sneak a peek for yourself.

Some of Patti's Inspirational and Motivational posts include:

TOP 100 Most Influential Women in Real Estate 2008

Stefan Swanepoel created the popular list of the Top 100 Most Influential Women in leadership roles in the Real Estate Industry, as voted by our members and the industry, Patti was in the Top 50. We all know the hard work and effort it takes to be both a Blogger as well as an active, successful Coach and Speaker. I have learned from watching Patti's progress here, that it takes Time, Dedication, and Commitment!

I wanted to personally acknowledge Patti today and congratulate her on her achievements and successes. We are proud of you Patti, and honored to have you as a member and contributor here in our community. Keep up the great job you are doing! See Patti's Blog

Discover Your Inner Strength. Something we all need to do at some point in our lives. You can reserve an autographed copy of her new book here.

I look forward to getting this book and reading some of Patti's posts!

I applaud you for your article and great Active rainers you recognize

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not aware of Patti, but now I know.

Thanks Brad for mentioning Patti - Congrats Patti! - I always love being pointed to a great writer and thinker and will definitely be checking these links and her blog out - what awesome talent on this network! ~Anne Marie

Brad, commenting on your post was secondary to reading a few of Patti's..anyone who hasn't read her posts take a moment and do so I really enjoyed the "referrals fountain"..thanks for pointing out this fine writer.

Congrats Patti....I know first hand that you are a great coach and inspiration. What a great honor for you!

I just spoke with Patti on the phone, she is a class act and most certainly worthy to be in this book of well respected and Top Shelf authors. Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard, and Brian Tracy are just a few of my favs, now I'm adding Patti to that list as well. :-)

Thanks for sharing this, I will go and read all the posts by Patti.

This is so exciting. I am going to have to catch up on Patti's posts and the book looks like a "must read!" We certainly have some talented folks here on Active Rain.

Love the fact that you took the time to recognize one of our active rainers...and...my two favorite authors Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard --- great for Coach Patti to be counted in such great company. It is well deserved! Thanks for giving us the heads-up.

Patti sounds great. I hadn't discovered her yet for some reason. I will check out her blog. Very impressive that Patti is affiliated with Steven Covey. I am a Steven Covey fan.

Congrats, Patti! Quite an acomplishment! Thank you for sharing this, Brad!

Hi Brad~ Thanks for sharing this information about Patti. I have read her posts before and thought she was wonderful even then! Isn't it great we have so much talent right here in the Rain?

Hello Brad,

All I can say is WOW!!! I am honored and touched by the public recognition. You are a class act, Brad. Thank you! Most of all I'm thrilled that you get value from my posts and have let others become aware of my blog and my book. When I write or comment on posts, it is like I have thrown a pebble in the water that ripples out. You just never know who is reading and who is touched. I look forward to growing in the 'Rain community' and inspiring more readers. To your best!!!! Patti Kouri

Thank you Brad for being so pro-active in your position. These are the kinds of stories that lift the spirits. I congratulate Patti and I am so happy for her success. She is now on my radar as well as 137,000 fellow Rainers, NOW! What a marvelous fraternity we have here.

BTW, I just referred 3 homes this week to AR members. Why would you look anywhere else for someone to trust your clients to?

Wow, how awesome for patti and Active Rain. Thanks for giving us this great info!

It's amazing the people you "meet" on the rain.

Brad - Well done my friend. It certainly is awesome that there are so many truly talented people contributing here. Great that you took the effort to recognize Patti. Well done!

Wow, that is an awesome accomplishment! Congratulations to Patti for achieving such acclaim and congratulations to AR for having her as a member!

I join Active Brad in the congrats! May her accomplishments continue to grow. And now on to reading some of Patti's blogs.

Mama Liz's Signature

I am looking forward to getting acquainted with Patti's writing. Fantastic publication! I'm new here and it's very inspiring.

Brad - this is one more example of the amazing information that is shared in the rain.

Thanks Brad and Congrats Patti! I love that you pointed us in the direction of a fantastic member of AR that contributes so much that we can learn from. I am building my library of bloggers and love getting new suggestions!

Thanks everyone for your comments and support to Patti, what a warm and sincere congrats she's getting from you all. (I was just buckin for an autographed copy of the book!) lol~

Seriously, I am so looking forward to her sharing more here with all us AR'ers, I know her time is limited and she is in great demand, but our group is one of the most appreciative she'll ever know and have.

You just never know who you might find here these days playing in the rain. I know of a couple other well known celebrities we have on-line with us too, it's just so awesome that EVERYONE on AR loves to share and giveback to the community.

Thanks for showing Patti all the love and support here. I know her book will be nothing short of spectacular.

Brad: Thanks for sharing - she is great.

Wow - that is awesome ! Is great to see that level of success. I remember when I first joined she was on of the first blogs I subscribed too not having any idea of where she was going. To be honest, I had no idea and was wondering when I would see a blog post from some members that have not posted in awhile. Is awesome to see this and more awesome that you featured her in this way. ~ Chris

I am overwhelmed with all your good wishes and support. Let me know if there is ever anything I could do for you. Thank you all so much! A special thanks to you Brad for the opportunity.

Warmest,

Patti Kouri

Wow....that's an awesome look for Patti!

Patti is going on my bookmark for sure.

Pattri - Congratulations on the new book and on the recognition from Brad! Hope 2009 is a great year for you!

Brad - it's always good to see the successes of fellow Active Rain members! Thanks for bringing Patti to our attention.

Patti! This is so totally cool! I can boast for Patti as a coach and she has inspired me in so many ways. She has been my coach for 7 years and she has touch my life. If you do not know her - get to know her! She will bring you to new levels and guide you towards your purpose. Patti has an amazing gift to laser focus on the issue at hand and to provide clarity in order shift personal growth and awareness. She has shared in my many successes. I am grateful to know Patti. I wish her continued success!!!!

You are blogging machine and a great attribute to AR. I appreciate greatly the information you provide....especially in the learning curve of the newbies and semi-newbies as myself.

A sincere thank you.........

This is wonderful news for both Patti and Active Rain! It's an honor to be among such special company.

That is some really awesome stuff there Brad! I have not read her stuff before, but I am gonna check it out now!

It's neat to see people from the AR family making good in related fields. I just hope theres a consulting industry a year from now...more consultants than agents!

Congrats Patti! Brad thanks for sharing. It is great to see one of our own paving the way for the rest of us. She truly is an inspiration.

Read your post about the "Not Satisfied Tour" Nathan, and I'm sorry to hear that. Gotta winder how they came up with that name? The Not Satisfied Tour? Hmm... I can tell you that I don't think Patti does business or conducts herself this way.
