Finally, I Made It to 600,000 Points - And, Thanks to You All!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Don Sabinske, Sabinske & Associates Inc. 539MN

It has taken a long time, but I finally hit the 600,000 mark here in the Rain.

 

I have been here longer than most, we won’t say how long, but it has been a pretty sporadic, on again, off again time.

 

The times that I interact with other Rainers are the best.  And, the delights have far outweighed the frustrations. 

 

It will probably take me another year to get to the next milepost.  But, I will keep slogging away.  I still have that contest going with Debbie Laity, although I am pretty sure that she is close to the goal already.

 

And, I am no Bob Crane.  If I were, I would have it down to being a millionaire in no time.

 

But, at the end, I just want to thank you all for your contributions to where I am today.

 

And, be it ever so humble, there’s nowhere like the Rain.

 

 

Thanks, Don

Way to go, Don. 600,000 points is an amazing accomplishment. 

You are more than half way to the million point mark.

Don - congratulations.  Success is a journey and each of us charts our own course.  If we are a tortoise and finally hit the goal it is better than the hare with a fast start and nothing.  Everyone in AR who continues to work this is a winner.

Congrats Don, no doubt here is why I PERSONALLY am impressed when people crack 600k...

It means you are committed as if you were just in it for the free AR acct you could stop at 500k but going past and well past shows commitment to the cause!

I guess I take it for gran-it when I read your post on a daily bases, and miss hearing from when you aren't around. Congratulations on the well earned 600k.

Congratulations Don, that is quite an achievement!

Only 400k to a million, if the points would continue in a forward direction you may be there in a year.
