What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain- April 14-April 20, 2013.
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, about Real Estate, about a place or person!
April 14: Michael Jacobs Speechless Sundays Dragon Eyes
Ah-ha moments don’t always have words either. In this case it caused many of us to “Google” Dragon Eyes and learn something. Head over and see if you know what they are.
April 15: John G. Johnston I Ask a Favor!
It’s pretty easy to talk about what’s wrong with the world or with a situation. That takes no effort, but John asks us to put a different twist on our complaining.
April 16: Jaime Westman Building Your Business by Engaging in LinkedIn
I’ve been on LinkedIn for several years but have never done that much with it. I’ve focused on AR. However it helps to branch out to Google+, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. If you want to know how to use LI Jaime provides an easy “how to”.
April 17: Margaret Rome Pictures in Real Estate
I understand that every MLS has different requirements as to the minimum and maximum number of pictures that are allowed. But what if you have an exceptional property that warrants more pictures? See Margaret Rome’s solution.
Bill Cherry Lessons Learned from Past Experience Rarely Last Long
Bill’s post reminded me of the days before the big national Big Box banks and ATM machines and when you tried to make your long distance calls after 8 pm or on weekends when the rates were lower. Read on!
April 18: Patricia Feager Life is Good. Historical Preservation.
We drive past buildings every day and never give them a second thought. I learned from Patricia that if you just take the time you can discover beauty in a building and learn a little bit about your own feelings.
April 19: Bill and Liz Spear Are You Prepared to Sell the Warren County Home You’re Buying?
In any of my sales/service positions I’ve held, I always believe in laying the foundation for the sale or the closing upfront. I’ve considered myself a sales consultant NOT an order taker. Do you just show homes and take listings or are you more than that?
April 20: Scott Nowling What We Learned in Kindergarten is Just Plain Wrong!
I grew up in the Capt Kangaroo “Please & Thank You” era. Nothing wrong with that however I also think there’s nothing wrong with allowing our children the right to not blindly accept everything an authority figure says.
Please don’t forget to check out Pat Kennedy’s and Charita Cadenhead’s Weekly Series Posts.
Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
