It's hard to take time off....

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Coco Plum Real Estate, Kelly Willey, FLORIDA KEYS BK3084960

It's hard to take time off in this business. Even when we go away, we're never really away. My blackberry is ringing, my email is piling up and I'm itching to get on my laptop and finish answering emails. Thankfully I have my pal Gloria Price back at the office to run errands and keep things moving for me.

The part I like best about taking time off is that last minute rush of business that gets done the last couple days before we leave.

How many offers have you written hours before the plane takes off?

Of course the trick is to have good staff to handle everything while you are gone.

Time off?  Whoa, that is a terrific concept.  I wish I had time for off time.  But life is good, I work from home so I have time with my lovely wife and I love what I do.

What I find amazing is things can begin to quiet down in business, and then the minute I plan on getting out of town, or vacationing, an avalanche of business or work will pop up last minute.  I have a business plan now - if business gets slow, I plan a vacation :-)

I don't "take" time off, but I do "get" time off sometimes whenever a home inspection is canceled with less than 24 hours notice since that sometimes makes it difficult to fill that time slot. I am taking off Thursday, October 30, to get married, though, and then, after a honeymoon at On The Border Thursday night, it's back to work. LOL
