On Tuesday, December 14, 2010 something interesting happened which essentially changed the rest of my week and has taken on a life of its own. I was tweeting with Michael McClure (@ProfessionalOne) and we both mentioned how we were looking at search terms that have driven traffic to our blogs.

Next thing you know… #P1blogerview was in full swing! Since then I have done 3 more of these blogerviews and I have one scheduled for Monday now. It’s funny how interacting with Michael McClure generally results in something amazing happening!

Well, here’s the recap of #P1blogerview – I hope you enjoy it:

“Smells Like Tech Spirit” post.

Being the great blogger that you are today… what would you go back and tell the rookie blogger you were?

Nothing, really. It’s played out almost exactly as I thought it would. It’s all about the consistency and the marathon mentality. That’s a huge part of the process.

I don’t find it. It finds me. I just write about the things about which I have real passion. Improving real estate, namely. #RTB
