Dear readers,
Many times the act of doing something is worth more than the end product. I think we see this in many areas.
Yesterday I wrote a short post from the National Diving Championships being held here at Texas A&M University. In fact, I received a little flak because the blog didn't directly speak about a property for sale.
While sitting in the crowd with my Netbook on my lap, tapping away, another spectator asked what I was doing. I quickly explained I was writing a quick blog about the event and explained what Active Rain was. I also gave him a card.
If you haven't been to a diving competition, they are kind of like a golf tournament. You are expected to be very quiet and still before each dive, which doesn't lead to conversation. He took my card, nodded and we didn't speak again...until this morning.
I just received a call from the gentleman, and he'd like me to help his family find a home. The combination of supporting our school and community through attending the diving event and taking the time to write about it really impressed him. That, combined with my knowledge of the local market and Internet savvy, influenced him to trust me with his business. He never read the blog, but just the act of writing it gained me a nevw client.
Blogging may be one of the most healthy things we do for our minds and business. Once again it's not just the destination, but the act of getting there that makes the journey worth it.
