Ask An Ambassador: Here Be Dragons!

Them's some incredibly cool dragons.

I had to scroll down to see if ActiveRain University still had a presence but alas it got lost in the shuffle. There are a lot of ways to get help, here, all one has to do is ask, or even just blog about it.

Bill- There's so much to learn here if you are willing to read! (Or watch videos) The Q&A has turned out to be a good tool too!!!  One of the best parts of this community is the community itself...always willing to help 

These are all great reasons to get busy and write those posts. Love your photo.

As I mentioned earlier  - that is one very cool shot!  Amazing shot!!  And love this post Bill.  I just happened to have lunch with a gal I've known for years.  She's been in the biz 10 years longer than me - and oh the stories we shared.  It's quite interesting to go back in time and remember all that 'old' stuff. Which honestly is kind of the same stuff as agents are still grappling with how to shift, change and adapt.

The dragonfly metaphor really work well with what you’re doing here and I like it. . :)

Hello Bill (and Liz too) - whether it be everyday life, more than a few first-time encounters in real estate or entering the blogosphere, there are moments where the unknown is present.  Possible fear, anticipation and all kinds of emotions may be a part of the scene.  We face them as best we can while continuing to learn.  

Adding to previous comments, the image captured in this post is eye-catching.  

Here be dragons! Ont you wonder what creatures or events gave rise to the beliefs in dragons

Here be good guidance!  (As always!)

Good morning Bill,

I love that photo!! Thank you as always for you setting us up for success, whether new or old timers..never stop learning!

Hi Bill,
Your post reminded me of the saying, "Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians".  I hope that's not considered racist. It's only meant to make a point. In AR's case, we don't have enough Chiefs so the Indians have stepped up to run the reservation.

Or, you could say the inmates are running the asylum.  In any case, it goes beyond real estate. I reached out to the community a couple of weeks go about finding contacts for doll collectors. The community came through, which was no surprise. With few exceptions, we all want to help in any way we can.  

When we look around we have a million things to be scared of...it we let them scare us.

Yes, the photo is fascinating. Yes, the phrase is captivating. But most importantly, yes, there is much to be found to settle the uneasiness if you'll look around in the Rain. So much to be discovered. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. 

Bill:

The Dragons analogy is certainly appropriate for those entering the blogging world. But there are several ways to chase those dragons away as you pointed out - the Q and A section, and Zoom meetings, are a great source of learning, as are the posts shared daily by members, and engaging with others through commenting.

That photo is pretty amazing and certainly captures the reader's attention, as it was no doubt intended to do.

Very cool dragons and their feed is your time, nothing else, no humans, no cattle and you don't even need to leave your home.

What you say is so true Bill.  AR is one really amazing community of people just willing to help.  All you need to do is ask - and it's always been that way.  Your photos are always incredible!

Pushing out your boundaries is difficult but can be rewarding and allow you to grow
