A few months ago Kathleen posted on ActiveRain asking for advice on moving her real estate business.   She was getting married and wanted to incorporate her new name.

I called Kathleen and made the following suggestions:

 ''How about doing a series of blogs..  Getting married in month, Getting married in 3 weeks etc..Moving in a month, Moving in a week.  I think people can relate to you as they think of buying and selling. The post can go to your friends, family, catering, wedding planners, movers..etc.  Also highlight your new company and the people you find helpful.  Why wait..tell them you are coming!  Everyone in business will be helped and it will be coming from you! Your introduction will not be needed...you will be established! ''

I followed my comment and phone call with a post Giving and Taking Advice on ActiveRain...the HomeRome Way! 

  Look how well Kathleen has done with her move and making new connections. Take time to read Kathleen's post today... The Power of Active Rainers.  She has met new neighbors and will be be getting some free publicity.

Not only was advice asked for, it was received and taken!

As Kathleen says.." I've only been here for 6 weeks, so YES, I think this plan is working just fine. And all it took was for one Active Rainer to read my post and make a suggestion. That's the power of Active Rain! ''

To Kathleen, I say:

So proud of you! What a great outcome! In a short time you have met neighbors at a party, gotten referrals, met a publicity person for coffee, offered to help and are getting a feature in his publication. I am so glad you did not wait. You let them know you were coming! 

Congratulations on your marriage and your new home.  We all wish you much continued success!

Less than ten days ago Kathleen Moriarty wrote asking for help. Please take a moment to read ..Insight needed from AR members regarding moving my business.

After reading about her upcoming marriage, her move and a company change...I left Kathleen a message along with this advice.

''How about doing a series of blogs?  ' Getting married in month" "Getting married in 3 weeks"   ''Moving in a month"..Moving in a week".   I think people can relate to you as they think of buying and selling. The post can go to your friends, family, catering, wedding planners, movers..etc.  Also highlight your new company and the people you find helpful. Everyone in business will be helped and it will be coming from you! Your introduction will not be needed...you will be established!   Margaret ''


Today I received a Thank You from Kathleen... sent via ActiveRain....'' Thanks!  I just wanted to let you know that I mentioned you in my most recent blog - specifically around your suggestion about the 4 weeks to the wedding/moving idea - Thanks again!!! Your idea was very helpful!''

I love it when we are able to encourage others!  Please take another moment to read Kathleen's post written today.. Approximately one month and counting to my name change!

And here is my comment on that post...

''Kathleen, I love the way you took  advice from your previous post...Insight needed from AR members regarding moving my business....This is a wonderful way to transition and stay in touch with old and new clients. Have a feeling you will be hearing from a few just to congratulate you. This is such a positive pro-active way of moving. They will be able to relate to all your changes.  Thanks so much for the mention and glad it helped.  Margaret''
