Just Like Michael Jacobs, I Did It!

 

I read Michael Jacobs' post at the end of December, 2014!  He had completed the 31 day challenge for December….and you didn’t know there was one, did you?  Well, I didn’t either.

It was his own challenge, and Michael is one of our original group that were spurring each other on to greatness….the others in the group were Kevin Tolbert and Joy Daniels, all superstars, except for me.

So, I could see that I had to step up to the plate and see if I could run the race, too.

 

But, I made it!  I did 31 posts (with an extra even) in 31 days….it starts to be a regular habit when you get in the groove….just try it.

 

I made a habit of writing when I felt like it and scheduling the posts out for when I didn’t, but you can do whatever you like.  It just felt like less pressure to write each day, knowing I could move posts around to get the day in when I was working on other projects. 

 

The point is….make yourself the local expert, and watch what happens…the phone will ring.  There is no doubt about it.

 

Start on February 1st, it’s a short month anyway, and see where it leads.

 

Best, Ron

Ron,

 I did make Decemember by own personal challenge as well and I did it even when Robert (Bob) Gilbert and I were in NYC. I did not do January as I knew we would be gone and when we are on those trips we do not have time to post seriously we hit it hard.

That is great Ron, glad you are inspired by Michael Jacobs , he is one of my favorite bloggers with the most fantastic market reports I have ever seen. Keep up those daily blogs.

Ron- I'm not sure what I missed but several years ago, I made a personal challenge to myself to post every day, and I've kept it up.  Good for you!!!   And, it's great to see you here every day.

You did good Ron - as always!  :)  I posted every day in November and have tried to post almost every day in December and January.  We were a fun "group" way back when - thanks for the reminder!! :)  I like your flower profile, it's reminds me that Spring is coming.

Good evening Ron Marshall , I have, for the most part have written 10 blogs per week, except when we used to write 20, which was quite a chore.

Michael Jacobs inspired me to do something once, but I don't remember what it was, but I think it was something fun.  But I have a question, who is this Roger D. Mucci guy that Ron & Alexandra Seigel and Michael are talking about and all this contest and video stuff?

Hello Ron,

Well done, and you are right...it does get one in the groove.

I enjoyed Rebecca Gaujot, the GO TO REALTOR  write-up on you for the January Ringing and Singing challenge!

Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert Anytime you make an effort, it is worth is.  My goal this month was 1,000 points a day, and I am averaging around 1,200 instead!  Slow and steady wins the race!

Dick Greenberg It was fun to look back on this post and bask in the glow of another accomplishment.  If I can keep it up for March, I wll be near 900,000 points!  And, well on my way to the next goal.  Thanks for all your support and the birthday wish, too!
