365 Tips To Becoming A Successful Realtor®
Tip #7 - Burn Out Prevention
Congratulations! You made it to the end of the first week. Don't get too full of yourself, I haven't even given you the really hard stuff yet!
Even God gave us a day off...
Don't fall into the trap of working every day of the week and never scheduling a day off. No one was ever found on their death bed mumbling "I wish I had worked more!" Schedule time off and use it wisely.
Relaxing, spending time with family or friends, and recharging your batteries is just as important as working! Take care of yourself and set business aside once in a while. Is one day a week too much to ask? (That is not me asking. That is your body, mind, and soul asking!)
Steven Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Successful People calls it "Sharpening the Saw." His premise is that a sharp saw cuts much faster and with less effort than a dull one and it is in your best interest to sharpen your mental saw every once in a while. You can't drive unless you occasionally stop to fill up the gas tank. Get it?
Take the day off. Go have fun. That's an order!
