🌧️ ActiveRain Tuesday Zoom Challenge! 🌧️

One of the greatest gifts of being part of the Rain is the community—where ideas, knowledge and encouragement flow just as much as the points do! Our weekly Zoom calls are where the magic happens—real conversations, real strategies and real connections that help each of us grow both personally and professionally.

 

Being active in the Rain isn’t just about earning points—it’s about sharpening your skills, fueling your motivation and surrounding yourself with people who want to see you succeed. Don’t miss your chance to connect, learn and grow with fellow Rainers today! Every call is packed with ideas, strategies and inspiration that you can put into action right away. Kathy Streib and I are hosting a challenge until the end of the year…

We would love for you to join our wonderful members who already do enjoy all of the benefits of these weekly calls. So, that’s the challenge—OH and for the icing on top...

 

  • Earn 500 points just for showing up and staying the full hour.
  • Earn 500 bonus points when you complete the weekly assignment (given on the calls)
  • That means you could earn up to 1,000 points every single week until the end of the year!

 

The points are just the beginning. By participating, you’ll:

  • Gain fresh insights from seasoned Rainmakers who’ve been where you are.
  • Build relationships that go beyond the platform—fellow agents, brokers and entrepreneurs who understand the ups and downs of our business.
  • Leave each call feeling energized and inspired with practical takeaways you can put into action immediately. Enjoy endless value from the conversations and connections

 

Being part of the Rain means never going it alone—you’ve got a powerhouse community cheering you on every step of the way. These calls are where the real energy happens… and you’ll leave with tools, tips, and motivation to level up your business!

 

Let’s keep this momentum going strong through the end of the year. Join in, stay engaged and let’s make it rain—together! 🌧️

 

WEEKLY RULES:

  • Simply attend the Zoom calls on TUESDAYS—but, you must be present—camera on—and awake—the entire hour. 
  • Choose to complete the weekly assignment—or not! But, you must be on the call that week in order to get credit for the weekly surprise assignment.
  • The assignment MUST BE COMPLETED by the Sunday following the Tuesday call (so you’ll have FIVE days to complete your task).
  • You must post a link BY SUNDAY IN A COMMENT BELOW in order to receive credit for the weekly assignment. We love you but, we don’t have time to chase you down to get your homework assignment from you!! 
  • Challenge begins Tuesday SEPT 30 and ends Tuesday DEC 30 (*PLEASE NOTE: There will be no assignment on DEC 30).

Feel free ask your questions below. Or reach out to Kathy Streib or me anytime. Can’t wait to see you on the call!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - I was very happy to share the upcoming 2026 event! If I could be there myself, I would not want to miss it!

Debe Maxwell, CRS

Same, Patricia Feager! Come to think of it, we COULD plan an AR meet-up there! How much fun would we have?

Dec 30, 2025 08:08 PM
Patricia Feager

Debe Maxwell, CRS - that would be the ultimate AR/AI in-person meet-up! On two borders too! That would be an amazing accomplishment for ActiveRain and of course, Craig Daniels and other AR Support would need to be there too!

Homework Assignment - My New Zoom Background

Another wonderful post, Patricia Feager. I love, love, love that featured image! Hope you can join us on our call today.

Dec 30, 2025 08:33 AM

Debe Maxwell, CRS - Thank you! I really wanted to create an image that speaks to my soul and resonate with my personality about how I enjoy living. As for the last Zoom meeting for 2025, I was honored to be there and learn so much about a topic that has always fascinated me.

Before my spouse and I bought our home in IL, we looked at a Sears Catalog Home and loved its custom features. Everything about the home was well built from about 1940. The most interesting room that made me want to buy it was the center of the house. It had multiple French Doors inside the living room. The one that piqued my interest was the Music Room. I was still taking Piano lessons at that time (since grade school). 

From the living room, you opened or kept closed the Music Room. Inside that room was a baby grand piano, a few music stands, chairs, and lots of pictures hanging on the wall with framed behind glass old class sheet music.

On the doors leading into the Music Room was the dining room and from that room was a real working kitchen that led into the Sunroom for indoor or outdoor door dining with views of the gardens. 

Ken did a great job presenting fascinating information. I noticed from the slides, he didn't have enough time to cover all the information. Perhaps he can be invited back in 2026.

Happy New Year.

Many thanks to Leanne Smith for her presentation on our Zoom call today on business planning. It was quite motivational and we all walked away with an exciting a-ha moment, for sure! And, that is our homework assignment for the week - share your favorite a-ha moment from the call, writing a 200+ word blog post about it. Add a featured image that you generate from your favorite AI platform to wrap up the post! 

Here's to a wildly successful 2026 - 1 week down and 51 more weeks to go!

I apologize to all that I have been so bad about acknowledging your posts! I am absolutely still reading them, Patricia Feager and it is often great for dicussing the following week before we start our new topic. We are not giving points at this time but, do love keeping the 'group' topics going!

Feb 08, 2026 05:05 PM
Patricia Feager

Debe Maxwell, CRS - No apologies necessary from you. Really, I am fully aware that there are no points given for Zoom Meeting Assignments. I was not expecting points. My mistake. I'm sorry. 

No apologies necessary from you. I will delete all posts I wrote for attending Zoom meetings. Thank you for letting me know.
