From “Colorado Highlands Realty Buzz” to simply “Colorado Highlands Buzz”! Why make changes?

FYI: I will be moving this blog “Colorado Highlands Realty Buzz” over to “Colorado Highlands Buzz”.

This URL (www.ColoradoHighlandsRealtyBuzz.com) will continue to be active, however – the main URL will be (www.ColoradoHighlandsBuzz.com). Thanks. Looking forward to seeing you there!

When I started this blog, I was working as an active Realtor in Colorado Springs. Since then, I made some changes – from Realtor to Consultant for small business owners. This is something I had done “on the side” for some time now – but after it became more and more full time – I decided to make the leap into Consulting. Helping other’s achieve their goals is still the underlying motivation, except it changed from Homes to Business.

I now help business owners – in my capacity as a consultant – to build an online presence, a cohesive marketing program and become better networkers, in one-on-one sessions, as well as teaching classes about these topics.  (Contact me if you or your company is interested. Thanks.)

Therefore, my focus, and the focus of this blog, have shifted somewhat. It no longer resides strictly on the Real Estate side of things but more on the general side of” Anything Colorado Springs”;  i.e. Quality of Life, Entertainment, Families, Recreation, Events, Sports, News, etc.

I am looking forward to continuing my conversation with you via this blog.  Feel free to comment, share ideas, ask questions, or share your own experiences.

Why this post? I promised to be as transparent as possible – and I figured if I’m changing the name of this blog from “Colorado Highlands Realty Buzz” to “Colorado Highlands Buzz” – I should at least explain why.
