This has been quite a whirlwind year for us, and we have you to thank for that. We started this show with a simple mission: to Reach, Teach and Help people in any way we could.

Now, five and a half months, 30,000 blog views and almost 22,000 video views later, what we’ve learned so far… is that we still have a long way to go. But, it’s because of this that we feel so blessed this Holiday Season.

Reaching The Unreachable

Today with modern media – especially blogging and social media – you’re provided with an opportunity to extend your reach like never before.

I never would have thought a video show I produced would be seen 22,000 times. I never would have thought a show I’d produced would be retweeted by the likes of Matthew Shadbolt and Jeff Turner. I never thought someone like Michael McClure
would ask me to collaborate on a project like VPA TV.

But, it happened. We reached many of the unreachable. People in one of the busiest professions take time to watch, read and interact with us. Thank you so much.

Taking Time To Teach

Teaching people not only positively impacts your market and your business, it changes the world. What we do, on a daily basis, drip by drip, can change the outlook of the real estate industry. It just takes all of us working together.

Call it whatever you want – the new hip phrase is Raising the Bar – but, teaching is a crucial way to connect with your community, and heal this housing market.

We hope we’ve taught you something important, that’s impacted your business in 2011. Something that made you think differently about how you approach technology, blogging or social media.

Help Wanted

It seemed seasonal appropriate.

As we come into the home stretch of the Holiday Season, this is one area I want to dramatically improve upon in 2012. I can’t wait to reveal our plans for things to come in 2012.

One of my biggest pet-peeves – as someone who is always learning – is going to classes, conferences or coaching sessions, where the instructor caters to the lowest common denominator in the room. I don’t want “cookie cutter classes” that have to cover such a broad spectrum of people. They leave too many people with a plate full of vegetables, and no meat.

Don’t get me wrong, we can’t all be experts from the start. However, I want to help you right where you are now. Push you further than you thought you could go.

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year

The feedback, grace and love we’ve seen from you guys has been an amazing gift this year.

We hope you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

We’ll see you in 2012. It’s going to spectacular.
