I was gone.....adios!  Sayonara!  Out of here!

3 Weeks to create a bad habit.

My internet was down for two months at home and so I was gone from Active Rain.  Even when it came back up, I was sooooooo gone!

1 year later I made a pledge to get back in the game.  Since returning three weeks ago....

three different purchase referrals....

all from the rain!  Even last week on vacation, I blogged.  Active Rain works.....and what the heck was I thinking?

Thanks for not giving up on me.  I love being back!

Great to have you back on Active Rain.  There is so much knowledge shared by a lot of really experienced Agents as well as getting some referrals.

Ohhhh man, that would drive me insane.  70% of my business is done online, and much needed.

Larry dont beat yourself up. I too have been a bad boy. Our market was in such a frenzy we didnt need any more leads we needed mroe staff to handle them! I too have been on the down lo lately but trying my best to make a concerted effort to being more "active". It took 1yr to hit the 300k mark and another to try (just now actually) crack 400k??? it is what it is but hey hook a brother up on those crazy referrals? I get an occasional one here and there but to get 3 in 1 week???? damn give up the secret!!!!

Wow!  You are a referral machine!  That's not too far off the referrals I've had off AR for the whole year.  Nicely done!

Hey Larry,

I get it.  I have had to slow down quite a bit.  It's hard to get started again too.

I hear it works out pretty well that way - you can always come back after you've taken a break.
