When I started blogging in December, I set lofty goals of getting 500,000 points by December 19th. While I am a little behind schedule this week, I have something to celebrate.

Ever since I discovered the state ranking page, I have been using that as a gage to measure my progress. In December, I started at #102. Every day, I would look at it and figure out how many points I needed every day to get to the next level.

Well, today I hit # 50! I'm on first page of the Wisconsin rankings! I realize it isn't much, but I'm going to celebrate the little wins.

Watch out Bob Crane , Here I come!! (lol!)

My ultimate goal with this are leads. As I know this is a long term project, I need these small psychological victories to help me along.

Congrats! I know I use my state, county and city page as my motivation. Don't get me wrong, I love providing stuff to my community and other agents but the competitive person in me loves those pages. LOL

Stay on it, Joan! You will get there before you know it.

I live in a particularly challenging state. Of the 167 "millionaires" on ActiveRain, 21 of them are in my State of Florida. And 7 of those 21 people are over 2,000,000 points.

I know in my state, it not a huge accomplishment as it would be in Florida or California, but I'll take them when I can get them.

Joan - Any success is worth celebrating, no matter how small you think it might be. You have already cut your ranking in half, from 102 down to 50. Use this as more motivation to reach your goal of 500k points.

Joan Dickie when I saw your goal I watched even more my ranking. I am now 7 out of 124 for city and county. For state I am 85 out of many. Congratulations on your success.

Congratulations!! That is awesome for as much competition as you have. I was number 1 in my city and county pretty much from the beginning. There are not so many active participants in Wisconsin

Congrats! I didn't notice the rankings at first, but I've been watching them lately, same as you. It is fun to see your name move up, although I have a lot further to go than you.

Grats - every bit helps - Personally I try to avoid watching the rankings as it gets me into that "Points" mentality similar to the FB "Here's what I had for lunch" kinda thing.

But hey, if it motivates you, go for it!

Joan congrats and it is a challenge, but it gets easier as long as you are consistent.... once you get to the top five it gets a bit more challenging and make sure you have a Long Distance Runner mentality.... just ask Michael Jacobs long distance not sprinter mentality, Endre
