Saying our gratitudes first thing has a lot of different positive effects
Gratitudes are a core part of being a Ninja.
On the surface they are a really wonderful repetitive exercise for reframing you mindset. It turns out there are some hidden gems in the practice of gratitudes.
Gratitudes can also heal some old wounds.
Thought of the week:
Be grateful for the lessons, however painful they may be!

Sweat Success Story: Marcy + Madison
What’s Your Best Thing?
What do you do better than almost anyone else?
It’s amazing and maybe a little sad how many people can’t answer that question. It’s also very concerning how many business leaders can’t answer that question on behalf of their business either.
It’s concerning because the fastest way to grow your business, or yourself, is to build on your strengths. Many people focus on eliminating their weaknesses but the most successful people will tell you it’s far easier to simply overwhelm them with your strengths.
I’m not saying to ignore your weaknesses, you certainly should eliminate them where you can. What I am saying is that if your strengths shine bright enough they will blind people to your weaknesses. You won’t be thought less of because of what you’re not good at, you will be thought more of because of what you’re great at.
There’s some guy named Tom who plays football in the New England area. I hear he’s a pretty good quarterback. Some people say he might even be the best quarterback ever. But guess what, I also hear that he can’t hit a curveball when playing baseball.
Nobody cares whether he can hit a curveball or not because he most certainly can throw a football. He uses his strengths to succeed and he keeps himself out of situations where his weaknesses could be exposed.
You, me and everyone else can do the same thing in our lives and our careers. But first you must know what your strengths are. You must know what you’re better at than most everyone else. You must know what you do best!
Don’t mistake what you’re most passionate about for what you do best. Sadly they are often not the same. “Follow your passion” is advice often given during Commencement Speeches. It can be and often is some of the worst advice ever given.
“Follow your passion” is great life advice and you definitely want to have whatever you’re passionate about be part of you life. But following your passion is not sound career advice. “Do what you’re best at” is much better advice for a successful career. If you’re fortunate enough that what you’re best at is also what you’re passionate about then good on ya. Don’t assume that because you’re passionate about something that it’s also what you do best.
It may take some time and deep reflection to know for sure what you’re best at. Some people know almost instinctively but most people need to noodle on that a while. But figuring it out is well worth it. Playing to your strengths is rewarding both financially and emotionally.
So let me ask you again…what’s your best thing?
Jackie Karmilowicz will be out of the country August 16-September 7. Filling in for me will be Mike Boyle. He will be providing the same level of service that I do and can answer any questions you may have while I am out.
Mike can be contacted at mike.boyle@nrg.com. Please let me know if there are any questions or clients you have this week prior to my Thursday evening departure.

AHEM. While this season does offer MANY distractions, now is the best time to maintain your home so you can sit back and enjoy the cooler weather without worrying about the actual COLD weather ahead. Check out this Fall Home Maintenance Checklist* offering a useful lineup of tasks, many of which you might not even think about on a regular basis. Out of sight could lead to out of pocket if you let things go too long, so let’s get to it.
We can reward ourselves with pumpkin spice afterward, I promise.
Building Success With RE/MAX University
A discussion about how RE/MAX University can add to your knowledge base after you earn your real estate license. . .
How to Get Super Hyper-Local
Hyper-local is the new name of the marketing game—the latest soup du jour of solid small business strategy. In real estate, it’s an essential tool, since a real estate agent’s target audience is more likely than not extremely hyper-local. You’re looking to not just reach your town, but maybe even one neighborhood or one street.
So, if you’re an agent, ask yourself: “Am I doing all that I need to in order to effectively capture my local audience?” If the answer is yes, hopefully you can splash in some of the ideas below. If the answer is no, then here’s a great place to start!
You = a guide genie.
Build guides for local activities and promote them! Living in wine country? Great—how about a map with all of your favorite wineries they absolutely can’t miss? Living in a particularly beautiful area when it comes to the great outdoors? How about list of locations of the best trailheads for dog- and kid-friendly hikes? How about the ultimate guide to craft breweries or farmer’s markets? The list goes on!
Host a Q&A wine night.
Chances are, your neighbors and those in your sphere of influence are always curious about their home’s value (and if not, they should be). Host a wine (or beer or cider or pizza) night to answer any and all questions they may have and use it as an opportunity to educate them. They might not know how much their home is worth, and, with everything that’s going on in the housing market right now and expected in the future, they will likely want to hear from a local professional.
Always be running ads.
This one might seem obvious, but unless you’re on top of it and always checking your ads to make sure they’re still running efficiently, this can easily fall off the rails. While Facebook is constantly updating their advertising policies, it is still a very effective tool for real estate. Set a calendar reminder or task for yourself at the same time on the same day each week and make sure your online ads, whether through your own efforts or through other tools.
Hold a contest.
Who doesn’t love a friendly neighborhood contest? This fall, plan on holding a pumpkin-carving contest for everyone in your neighborhood, or even a decorating contest during Halloween or later in the holiday season. This is a great way to get to know everyone and have a little fun along the way!
