RE/MAX Convention

Hello all,

"RE/MAX Convention"

It is a little early to start talking about a convention that is 5 months away however RE/MAX has a special through the month of October. We did not push convention to hard last year but we will be pushing it this year. This year RE/MAX will be celebrating it's 40th anniversary and the convention will be turned up a notch. It will be a great experience, great education, great energy and they also announced that Stevie Nicks will be performong on closing night. See below for the discount, half off through the end of October. Love to see as many of you join us as possible.

For my Park Potomac friends we will be getting a visit from Kevin Northrup who is our RE/MAX regional vice president on Tuesday at 11:30. It would be great if we could have a strong showing in the office during his visit!

Enjoy the coffee,

Joe                                   

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take . . . but by the moments that take our breath away."

~ Unattributed

GO RETRO - SIMPLIFY!

You've heard that it's good to "take time to smell the roses." You may have also read how Steven Covey encourages you in "Seven Habits" to take time to "sharpen the saw." You no doubt have also experienced the frustration of trying to find even a spare moment for yourself.

Why do so many sources advise taking time off for yourself for thoughtful introspection? Don't they know it's impossible in today's fast-paced world of money, soccer games, career challenges, family responsibilities, church & school activities, and so much more?

In fact, our society is totally preoccupied with all of the above. For those living in a big city, or even the suburbs, the pressure is even greater. Those who live in the country at least enjoy a little peace and serenity at the end of the day.

How did this happen? It's simple - or at least it was in the 1950's. Back then there were two kinds of soap - Lifebouy and Ivory. There were four automakers - GM, Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors. There were no computers or Internet, and long-distance was used only to inform relatives of illness or death. A schoolteacher's most serious behavior challenge was passing notes in class. Families watched "I Love Lucy!" together. There was no MTV. Divorces were rare.

Today the choices that face us each day are awesome. Which of many Internet providers or long-distance services should you use? Which cell phone or notebook computer should you have? Where will you find the money for the special dress, chauffeur, and professional photograph required for your daughter's fifth-grade "Prom"?

The world is spinning so fast, and isn't likely to slow down soon. As usual, relief must come from within. While you can't change the world's pace, you are free to change and simplify your own life. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Most importantly, take time to create those special moments that "take your breath away."
