GO AWAY!

 

In Part 1 of Go Away! Be Happy! Life is Good! I wrote about how essential it is for a REALTOR® to get away from business for the purpose of self-renewal. I came back from my travels more refreshed and motivated to be the best I could be in life and in business. Here's what happened within 20 days.

 

August 13, 2012: 2024 Winding Creek in Flower Mound went on the market. I am the listing Agent. From the time the home was listed until now, here's what happed:

 

  • Owner did what he needed to do to get the property listed in MLS.
  • I marketed the property to get exposure and results
  • I went away between August 17 - August 25
  • There were 52 showings
  • There was one Keller Williams Office Tour
  • There were several prospective buyers
  • On August 31 the Seller had an Executed Contract

2024 Winding Creek

 

 

 BE HAPPY!

 

We all know that life IS short. Time IS of the essence. I say, DO what you have to do NOW before it gets TOO late! Next year at this time the Seller will have moved on and the Buyer will be enjoying their beautiful new home and pool.

 LIFE IS GOOD!

 

The only person who can make you a slave of your labor is YOU! Today's technological advances makes it possible to conduct business away from the office. If a person is confident and implements a plan to get something done it IS possible to achieve results.

While I was away I looked deeply into the windows of my soul and I saw opportunities to pay attention to the things in life that really matter to me. I listened to the sounds of nature and I heard stimulating sounds that  served as a reminder: Relaxation is not a luxury - it's a requirement. My sensory skills were sharpened through the cool breezes in the trees, the sights, the sounds, the beautiful things I saw - how I felt in the moment is what really matter. Life at home away from the office goes on and you can't control everything. 

When you do the right thing for yourself and others you are FREE. Today is Sunday, a day of rest. Here in America, we are celebrating Labor Day Weekend. May you have chance to pause and reflect on what's most important to you. There are always windows of opportunity. When you look deeply into the well of your soul, you will realize YOU are not a slave of your labor. Only YOU have the power and the authority to do what you need to do. Please DO it now.

Patricia - You are right, the real estate world does not stop spinning if we take a few days off.  I'm about to embark on a 15 day trip--my business will be in good hands with my son at the helm.  Just do it!

I love the way I do business.  My computer and phone keep me connected and I do not have to be in an office to conduct business and take care of my clients.

Patricia-I am with you 100% on that one. Your business really won't end if you take a break. So many agents can't delegate or are too insecure sometimes to leave. I remember a vacation I promised to take with my sister back in 2002 for 10 days and had a lot going on then. We went to the Caribbean for 10 bays and I came back to 11 solds with $270,000 in commissions! Just sayin....
