Why I Blog - Too Many Great Reasons Not To!

By
Real Estate Agent with Alain Pinel Realtors CA BRE 01914367

Lately I've been asked why I blog.

 

Confused - Why Blog?

 

Simple question, right?  First let me say that it's not out of boredom, nor is it to occupy my time and no - it doesn't even take time away from clients.  In fact, much of what I write about has been inspired by or for clients.

 

When someone seeks out information on the internet, they generally don't stop with the first article they find.  Many of the articles on the "web" are little more than blogs.  If they weren't written, how dull would our online experience be?

 

Dare I mention that blog posts are viewed at consumer convenience?  The answer you seek may be found at 3:00 a.m. and most assuredly I will be recharging at that hour to better take on the demands of the day.

 

My favorite reason to post blogs is to provide information to others.  Some of the information may seem trivial and not worth reading.  That said, many people still read it and it may have an impact on how they think about something in the future.  My hope is to inspire positive actions in all we do.

 

My motto, tag-line, branding or whatever else you want to call "let's foresee the possibilities . . . and get results!" is more than a mind set.  Always looking for a great outcome and searching out the good in situations perpetuates better results.

 

As a Realtor I'm determined to serve my clients and their best interests.  That doesn't translate to agreeing to everything and it doesn't mean caving in.  Standards of due diligence and quality representation require the highest level of care.

 

As a member of my community, these same standards naturally flow through.  It is a disservice to volunteer or participate in any activity when your heart just isn't in it, so I'm careful with my time and how I use it.

 

Being somewhat of an introverted personality, sharing through blog posts can be a highly effective way to state my thoughts.  Fear not, every day I get out more and more to do this face-to-face.

 

Please appreciate the blogs I post and don't be terribly disappointed if I miss a day or two, after all - it is for you.

 

As always, let's foresee the possibilities . . . and get results!

Rebecca: Your blogs are totally appreciated and I hope you speak to us and the world as often as you see fit. I've found that I really miss it when I can't do a blog a day. There is always something to say, something that I need to get off my chest, something that I want to share. Blogging gives me this opportunity.

Hella, Thank you for taking time in your busy, busy schedule to blog!  There are days my ideas make it to draft stage; some are completed while others go bye-bye.   Working on my business plan suggests I need to be more regimented.  Thank you for the comment and be well.

Rebecca,  I used to be terribly shy. No one believes that now but it is true. The more we get out, the more we risk being vulnerable, the more we can serve others. The world needs more of you out there. Keep blogging and keep serving.

Rebecca- you make so many interesting/great points and I appreciate all of them.  I especially appreciate you sharing your thoughts in spite of having an introverted personality. I can't imagine how tough it is to share thoughts on a blog post when shy or soft spoken. ..Bottom line "I admire the way you blog"

Hi Jon, Thank you for the kind words.  If you ask my family or clients I doubt they'd tell you I'm shy.  It just takes a bit of effort to get that ball rolling.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
