10 Reasons ActiveRain is a PROBLEM! (This May Get Me Kicked Out🤷) 🌵🚨

By
Real Estate Agent with Scott Schulte LLC

If you like staying the same, feeling isolated, and avoiding personal growth...  this place is going to be a problem.

🌵 The People Problem

Too kind. Too smart. Too real. You might actually love them.

🔸 Don’t come here if you enjoy being invisible.
You’ll post something and suddenly people are noticing, commenting, and remembering your name. 👀💬

🔸 Don’t come here if you hate feeling supported.
Someone will cheer you on without being asked. It’s shockingly easy to feel welcome here. 🤝💚

🔸 Don’t come here if you like being the smartest person in the room.
There’s always someone dropping knowledge that makes you think, “Okay... I needed that.” 🧠💡

🔸 Don’t come here if you’re trying to stay disconnected.
You’ll recognize names, voices, and start looking forward to what people share. 🔄📌

🌱 The Growth Trap

Read a blog, they said. You’ll barely change, they said.

🔹 Don’t come here if you want to stay the same.
You’ll accidentally level up your mindset, systems, and maybe even your writing voice. 📈✍️

🔹 Don’t come here if you’re trying to avoid writing.
One blog leads to another. Then you join a challenge. Then you’re thinking in blog titles while doing laundry. 🧺📝 Or brushing your teeth 🦷

🔹 Don’t come here if you prefer one-way conversations.
People actually reply, reflect, and engage. It’s dangerously human around here. 💬👂

🌸 The Bloom You Didn’t Ask For

Turns out that you grow. Even when you didn’t mean to.

🌺 Don’t come here if you’re trying not to care.
You will care. About the writing. The people. The vibe. And worse... they’ll care back. 😅💚

🌺 Don’t come here if you think blogging doesn’t matter.
This platform will change your mind in the most satisfying way. 💻📣

🌺 Don’t come here if you’re afraid to bloom.
Because even in a digital desert, with the right people and the right words, something always grows. 🌵🌼

⚠️ Consider yourself warned. Stick around long enough and you’ll start blooming in the last place you expected... and love it.

Scott, getting thrown out of AR for this blog is not going to happen but it might get you rewarded. A fun promotion that is also very true.

Good morning Scott. Those who want to learn, share information, get a perspective from the other side of the table. or wanting to just have some fun should not stay away. And I think you just lured them in. Enjoy your day.
