Ohh did that sound bad? Well sometimes it's a hard working Realtor's job to set the client straight on market, pricing, staging, or buying within their means and of course ..the dreaded agency issues. But that's not what this post is about. You already (I hope) know how to take care of yourself whe it comes to clients. But how do you handle YOU?

During the holidays, Greenville, SC was popping, busier with Real Estate than in the past 4 months. It was exhausting and a great way to start the year, with a plethora of leads and contracts and closings. But the stress of dealing with varying FHA demands, (which change like a teen agers mind) the foreclosures, the economy and everyone wanting a "deal" ...a REALTOR can get burned out.

But then I went to a conference by Dave Ramsey..financial advisor...specifically geared for the top REALTORS he endorses nationwide. And among the gazillion things he said that stuck in my mind..this one takes the top

You can't Burn Out if you were never on FIRE!!!!!

Well I can say I've personally been on fire and have slowed down a little. I'm keeping the ashes smoldering and taking a respite to gather the big logs (lead generation and down time with my family). But I'm happy NOT to have too much going on..after all ..this business is about balance.  Get  your #'s in order, put your goals on the refrigerator...and then! Strike the match! And let's burn again!

Holly I agree, the cure for burn out is balance and a little down time. It will give you more energy for when the match strikes again. Good Post!
