Yesterday (2/15/17) was a very emotional day. An overall GOOD day. But draining all at the same time.
I had a brain dump for 5 hours with my assistant. Felt like I poured out everything I possibly could about automated workflows on my new CRM - Realvolve.
For the first time last week, I experience someone else (assistant) did the actual work and as a leader, I just set up parameters and guide the process/ progress. It was quite an experience for my 15-year tenure. I've always been a do-er. So, this is a good progressive change for the better.
Then, I had one financial counseling session helping a family learn to manage finances better. 2 hours went by quickly. We poured over numbers and spreadsheet. There was one more at 6:30p - a single mother with 2 kids but it rescheduled. In many ways, I'm glad because it takes alot of my energy in this.
I came home to await my son from his bus ride from school. My plans didn't get to include sitting with my friend whose husband had brain surgery. But I prayed from him the whole day. What was supposed to be a 2-hour procedure turned to be 5. BUT we have great news that he doesn't need a followup surgery like the doctors originally expected 6 weeks down the road.
Our financial planner's wife has been battling cancer - 2nd time. Damn cancer. They are a couple just slightly younger than us. When I saw her photo, I broke down. I wouldn't recognize her if I saw her now. Like life sucked out of her. Yet she still smiled in the picture. It's been a battle for the last couple years. Her life has been in so much pain, she cannot function. She was in Houston undergone surgery while he was here with 2 kids. Her parents there with her for 3 weeks as she slept alone in the hospital room awaiting to be stronger everyday. This are the sweetest couple you will meet. You continue to read about her strength and her faith as she fights this. God will prevail in this. I cannot imagine what they must go through.
Life in real estate is real when we build relationships with people. When they become so much a part of your life. 
You cry when they hurt.
Today is another day. There is no real estate emergencies. I try to tell my clients just that.
