What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-January 26 to February 1, 2020

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! 

 

karen fiddlerJanuary 26:  Karen Fiddler    Remember Me? Wondering What I’m Up To? Anyone? Anyone?

Well yes, Karen, I have been wondering. It’s been almost 3 years since we’ve heard from Karen but when she was here, her posts were interesting and very well thought out!!!  Karen’s post proves once again that the strength of ActiveRain is in its community. 

 

ron and alexandra seigelJanuary 27: Ron and Alexandra Seigel Monday Musings: Like a Spider to a Fly, Jump Right Ahead in My Web!

This is one web that's so easy for us to get caught up in, but don't!!!!

 

li readJanuary 28: Li Read Practice periphery vision...that's where the creative ideas live

This is a wonderful post! And be sure to commit the last line to memory.

 

debb janes and bernie steaJanuary 29: Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Observations and Stealing a Line From Alice in Wonderland

If you're feeling like you need a little positive inspiration, take a look at this post. And read the posts the Debb and Bernie highlighted as well.

 

margaret romeJanuary 30: Margaret Rome What Am I Interrupting?

We should all commit Margaret's opening line to memory. It's polite and will be remembered.

 

john marshallJanuary 31: John Marshall Back to the Future-2020

It's good to see John back with a post. What I love is not just that he reached his goals but he shows us through his post that you have to find what works for you. He "crafts a gameplan" to fit his agents' personalities.

I love Peter's post! If you're equating the level of your marketing with the price of the listing, this is for you.

Great choices Kathy, I was pretty busy last week and had not got around to reading a lot of posts. So it is helpful to have someone curate the choices and you always do such a great job.

What the heck? I'm so sorry I missed this. We were so excited for the Super Bowl, I missed this, Kathy.  Must be jet-lagged from flying around in the Banantude Jet. Thank you, thank you. I'm happy you liked the post - it's so easy to get inspired by others in Active Rain.  I've read most of these, but see a couple I've missed. Dragon Turtles?  Sounds intriguing...off I go.
