vacation: Selling Over 100 Homes a Year Almost Ruined My Life
- 07/01/22 12:31 PM
Selling Over 100 Homes a Year Almost Ruined My Life I've talked about burn-out earlier this week, when I held my coaching webinar for Club Zebra members, and I was really touched by how many people emailed me to share their experiences with burnout. When I was actively selling real estate, I sold way too many homes - and it literally almost ruined my life. One Christmas I really got a reality. I had missed a really important and very special Christmas dinner because I was working. I had let my family down because I was juggling 3 offers on … (8 comments)
vacation: The Value of Vacations
- 06/17/22 03:22 PM
The Value of Vacations I just got back from Greece and today, I'm back at Encore with my coaching clients. It's my favorite place to be, but I want to talk about the value of putting yourself first. Whether that is taking a special trip or going on a luxurious vacation or visiting a special person, you need that down-time away from your business to recharge and refresh. A lot of us are passionate about our work - and we should be! However, I can tell you from personal experience that every time I take time off for vacation, I … (3 comments)

vacation: Coping With Life as a Business Owner
- 05/06/16 05:07 AM
Coping With Life as a Business Owner How many hats do you wear? As a real estate salesperson, you're painfully aware that you're not just a salesperson. You're a marketer, financial consultant, troubleshooter, negotiator, computer repair person, legal consultant, and customer service representative, not to mention the owner of a small business. Yes, you are the President, the Chief, the Boss and CEO of You Incorporated! Your job title should be changed to "juggler," because that's what you really are. You have to juggle it all - your time, money, relationships, and schedule. These are the four flaming torches of … (0 comments)
vacation: It's the Most Advantageous Time of the Year
- 11/06/15 02:33 AM
It’s the Most Advantageous Time of the Year I can feel it in the air... The National Association of REALTORS conference is next week, followed shortly thereafter by Thanksgiving. It's the feeling of brokers looking forward to turning their attention away from their business and towards family and friends. While others may be smelling gingerbread and stuffing made from scratch, I smell opportunity. No matter if you live in an area that already has snow or you live in an area flooded with snowbirds and the winter months are your busiest time of the year, there is a market … (7 comments)

The Warmest of Holiday Wishes The holiday season is upon us - and for some cultures, it may already have occurred. But because my family celebrates Christmas I'm posting this Zebra Report right before the holiday that I personally celebrate. All autumn I've been looking forward to this coming week. As the daylight hours have decreased along with the temperature in the air, it has lead me to this special season that I cherish so much. This fall, I've spent time planning and retooling my business for 2013 (and I'll be sharing some exciting new things with you next … (1 comments)

- 12/14/12 06:35 AM
Let Quality of Life Be Your Guide in 2013... and Beyond Anyone who knows me knows that I have a long-held belief that the first, and the most important thing in your business, is creating quality of life. As we wind down 2012 and head in to 2013 I want to encourage all of you to think about your quality of life. What do I mean by quality of life? If I had to define it simply it would be happiness that is created when there is a good balance between your personal and professional lives. Sociologists study quality … (7 comments)
vacation: Five Questions to Ask Yourself About Time Off
- 06/22/12 03:25 AM
Five Questions to Ask Yourself About Time Off It's that time of year. School's out, the weather is getting warmer, and many real estate agents start dreaming about... vacation! Unfortunately, for many of them it's just that - a dream. I'm a huge believer in the concept of "quality of life," or "work/life balance." Because of that I believe regular time off is an absolute must for real estate agents - scheduled time off each week, and a longer period for extended vacations at least once each year. I can already hear you wailing in the corner! And I know you're saying … (3 comments)
