May ActiveRain Challenge: Getting To Know You

 

It’s time for our May challenge. In the April Challenge, we got to learn what ActiveRain meant to you. This month Carol Williams and I are hosting another fun post and the best part…it’s easy!!!

 

The common thread in those April Challenge posts was the COMMUNITY and how the members are the strength of this platform. So, now it’s time to learn more about who we are!

 

 

Below is a list of 21 questions that will help us learn more about who you are.

Just copy and paste them into your own May Challenge post and fill in your responses. 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


1. What was your first job and what did you learn from it?

2. How long have you been in the real estate or related service industry?

3. What is your biggest fear and what have you done to try to conquer it?

 

4. What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

 

5. What is a habit you would love to eliminate or change?

 

6. What is your favorite meal (forget about calories or what you shouldn’t eat)

 

7. What is something you wish you’d done?

 

8. Who has been most influential in your life?

 

9. What are your favorite business-related books?

 

10. Other than business books what are your favorite things to read?

 

11. What are your top 5 favorite movies?

12. If I came to visit your city for one day what is the one thing I must do or see?

 

13. If I came to your city to visit for one day what is the one restaurant you would recommend?

 

14. If I was going to relocate to your area what advice would you give me that is unique to the area?

 

15. Do you have any special talents?

 

16 Do you have any quirks?

 

17. What is your best character trait?

 

18. Have you ever done anything you would never do again because it was too hard or too dangerous?

 

 

19. What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?

 

20. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you want to live?

 

21. What is something that we don’t know about you that would surprise us?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

May Challenge: Getting to Know You Rules

1. Copy and paste the questions into your post and add your responses to the questions. ** We want this to be easy for you but please give us more than one-word responses!!!

 

2. Each post must include one (1) image in the body of the post.

3. Your post should have a Feature photo. If you’re not sure how to make one (and trust me, it’s easy) here is an excellent post from Debe Maxwell, CRS  that will walk you through it.

4. Share the link to your May Challenge in the comment section below.

5. All entries must be submitted by May 31, 2022, by midnight P.S.T.

6. POINTS- 1500



Come on ActiveRain members…Carol and I want and the rest of the community can’t wait to learn more about you.

Hey Richie Alan Naggar
