Realtors do run low on energy!

By

As a group we work hard and many hours. I do a lot of business because I do work hard. I dont know if its Katrina fatigue or getting near the end of the real estate year but I am running low on energy and looking for ways to recaputue that spark. I started exercising again which I had stopped doing after the Hurricane which was a year ago. I got back into one of my volleyball leagues again this past month. I got my LSU season tickets for the upcoming basketball season today. Gives me a chance to go to the games with past clients, supporters ect which is a nice outing. Its like reinvesting in your business and having fun at the same time. Life seems to be getting more normal since the storm. Everyone has these down periods, what do you guys do to get refocused?

                               

This place has great key lime pie overlooking Magazine Street. Its right across the street from a condo I showed this week. New Orleans has some great and simple places to eat. i coouldnt see writting a blog with a photo or two.

                             

You rarely ever see much bamboo in these parts but this caught my eye as it was planted in the alley as you entered the rear condo. Taking photos through windows catches a monent and something unique.

                              

Really a lot of local flavor in this uptown condo conversion 2 houses from Magazine Street and across the street from my favorite key liime pie.

I don't think there is any kind of model that addresses all of the exceptions in your market. Good physical fitness will definitely have an impact on your day. And college hoops is a great way to relax, have some fun and renew contacts all at once.

Take time to mentally recharge too. Reread a favorite book, (I would recommend MREA), teach a class in your office, make some in-person contacts with your sphere. None of these are necessarily income-producing but they'll give you a change of pace and might spark some great ideas that you can carry into 2007.

Wow, what great photographs. I lived in the French Quarter and Faubourg Marigny for many years and I've always loved looking up at all the architectural details. Its amazing how even after years of walking the same streets, something new catches your eye and in an instant you rediscover the beauty of New Orleans all over again.

Thanks for a refreshing reminder of the wonderful old homes and buildings in the French Quarter!
