Understanding What It Takesself trying to get everything done at once. Your
workload as a real estate agent is infinite. As long
as you want to work in this business there will be
work for you to do. That’s one thing you don’t
have to worry about. Don’t burn yourself out or
start unhealthy habits because of your work
schedule. That would be counterproductive. Bal-
ance your personal life with your business life
with your family life. I suggest working fifty to
sixty hours a week on your business and alloting
the remaining 108 to 118 hours left in the week
to family and personal life. Organize your weekly
hours and designate time for family, friends, and
recreation. Every person has a different lifestyle
and family arrangement, so only you know what
best fits you and your specific life to make it
balanced.5.Take breaks.When you start to feel like you’re
burning out, take a break. Each workday you
should have at least three breaks. This is impor-
tant because you need to unwind, gain steam, and
jump back in the game without burning out.
When you burn out you become bitter, your atti-
tude changes from upbeat to grumpy, and this un-
dermines your mission. Burning out is also bad
for your health. Too much stress increases your
blood pressure and leads to a myriad of illnesses.
So for yourself, and for your surrounding envi-
ronment (including your clients and prospects),
