Very good post.  I am 100% guilty of spending too much time with work, work and more work.  I love my job and have a hard time shutting it down.  Between 60-70 hours a week, it is imbedded in me.  The only time I really shut down is when I am golfing, scuba diving, or fishing, time gets short on that.  I am going to make more time this year.

Thanks Kim I appreciate the feedback. I had said in Real Estate and Parenting barriers have to be established. Clients choose to work with you the person not the company. If you establish firm barriers clients understand and further their respect for you. Real Estate is hard to turn off because it is relational and relational people love it. It is who we are and I don't think this is bad.

I am a victim of "business is life". I really noticed it when I started to dream about my loans. I often feel guilty when I am away from work or on vacation as all I can think about it how I could be working. I love what I do and honestly....I love having a career that I can work this hard at. The more effort I put into it, the more I get out of it. Everyone has a vice or two...mine are my career (really all aspects of real estate), sugar and shoes. :)

Dreaming about loans or work is definately over the top. I think that we are all guilty. It is the only way to get the shoes though:)
