40 Day Challenge - Days 33-39

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

Okay...I'm officially pooped this week.  I should be thankful we are so busy, but I'm so exhausted keeping up with all my estimates and the everyday challenges.  Hoping next week eases up a bit w/ school vacation week.

I've decided to participate in Christine's 40 Day Journey Challenge - a challenge to renew yourself and your business.

 

Flooring Design Guide

  • Led a Keller Williams class to educate a few realtors on 1) hardwood and 2) Active Rain.  Low attendance, but those who participated were super and enthusiastic learners.

 

  • Went to Facebook training class...free.  Signed up for Social Media boot camp in NYC for May 18th.

 

  • Keller Williams happy hour...had to destress after my super stressful and frustrating Thurs.

.

  • I continue to make progress on my local flooring posts - wrote 7 more. I have done 72 hardwood ones (one for each town), and now just finished all 72 for carpet (woohoo) and 31 out of 72 for laminate. This has really helped my SEO and we are getting 3 appts a week from internet leadd.

 

  • 1 BNI networking mtg

 

  • Surpassed 1,500 Twitter followers so getting back on track to try to get 100/month...means I need to hit 1,600 by end of April.  Wish me luck.  Oh, and feel free to follow me.  @DebbieGartner

Jay - Almost up...and ironic I guess as it will be ending on Passover.  Yes, we got that rain.  Not fun yesterday.

Kristine - Wow on the kidney.  And, I think you'll love BNI.

Barbara - Thx.  I appreciate that.

Norma - Thx so much.  Now, let's just hope for a productive Sunday because I have a LOT to catch up on.

Anita - Gradually getting there.  I'm not putting in that much effort to get followers, but I think the Follow Fridays helps and I'm on a few lists on wefollow.com and geofollow.com so they are finding me.

Roger - LOL, let me know your doctor.  He/she may be able to help me, too.

Debbie- I'm so impressed with your progress.  Since meeting you at Rain Camp I've been chasing my tail as I get a listing primped and ready for market.  No time to blog - or tend to my SEO... and that's a mistake.  Time to make amends!

Marcie - Good for you.  Now is the time to get started.  Just take it one step at a time - a bit each week, and then it's not so overwhelming.
