"Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired."
-Jules Renard
I find this quote especially appropriate this time of year, when the cyclical nature of the business shows an industry-wide slow down that corresponds with the holiday season each year. One year, I went so far as to take the entire month of December off to enjoy some relaxation after a particularly difficult yet financially rewarding year - it killed my loan production and set me back a full quarter the following year. Lesson learned, never again!
This is not the time of year to take off, slow down, or reduce your marketing efforts. This is a great time to plant seeds to ensure the new years brings prosperity and a strong first quarter.
Sure, enjoy your family, take time off for the holidays, but don't let a few days and the temptation of a quiet phone turn those few days into a few weeks. This week particularly, give it all you've got and I'll do the same - market, finish your business plan for the new year, analyze your 2013 and seek out what you can do better to improve in 2014.
I know some people don't even need this piece of inspiration as their markets are on fire, but for others who are seeing a slow down, don't let it slow YOU down. If you're not tired, keep going! This week isn't the time to rest.
