THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

By
Real Estate Agent with Diane Turton, Realtors, Forked River, NJ
I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately. Sick

Thank goodness I rarely get sick, but this flu strain found me.

We go into various homes and encounter many people, it's bound to catch up with us!

As real estate agents, we are independent contractors.

One thing about owning your own business, if you don't work, you won't get paid.
  • If it rains, we work...
  • If it snows, we work...
  • During the week, we work...
  • During the weekend, we definitely work...
  • Morning, Noon, Night, we work...
  • If we are sick, WE WORK...
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Toula - Right - we work all the time!  I hope you are feeling better! 

No work yesterday except for the clients we ran into at the Masters.  We had an awesome time.  Check my next blog for some pictures!  We saw Greg make his hole-in-one on #6 on the Par 3 course!  I also stood right next to Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus on #5.  Gary hit into the crowd about 2 feet from where we were sitting!  What a day.  Check for the pictures!

Hello Toula-Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I know how that is to work when you'd rather be in bed resting with the covers pulled over your head and sleep til you feel better. Life goes on and we just have to do our best. Takec are of yourself my friend. :-)

Poor Toula - I know from your previous posts that you felt something coming on.  I hope it passes quickly and that you will be feeling fine ASAP.  We all feel we have to keep on keeping on, even when sick, but occasionally we have to just spend one day in bed and get over it.  I usually fight through it and try not to stop, but once in awhile, that leads to trouble and I miss several days of work (I don't practice what I preach, obviously).

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well ma'am and hope that you get over it real soon.  But, you are so right about how and when we work.

There is nothing worse than needing to keep working when you aren't feeling your best.  I have found that "nature" has a law that sometimes reveals itself. . .If you plan a vacation, or get sick, your business will AUTOMATICALLY pick up:-)
