Life is full of changes. Often ,we attempt to fight those changes. This fighting creates internal stress and essentially an unhappy person.
Being in sales for more years than I care to count, I have always been a process person. Yet after 8 years in this industry, the processes continue to change to adapt with the constant changes.
Today, bright and early a client text me and cancelled a showing because he was sick. This was the second cancellation as he initially shared the incorrect date for me. The tour of this home in Meadview, AZ is his second and the home is 90 minutes away from my home office. Actually, both cancellations worked out because other things that happened.
Go with the Flow!
Yesterday, I had an unscheduled afternoon appointment with my Dentist as I feared I had a tooth infection. Luckily, no infection, but instead he suggested fitting a crown to keep the tooth from breaking. The filing was large and the tooth was old. My dentist saw the beginning of a stress crack and hence the crown. I pondered for a few moments, determined now was better than later. Ninety minutes later I am out of the Dentist’s office with a temporary crown and an appointment in mid January for the actual crown.
Go with the Flow!
Today would have been a made rush. A trip to Meadview, AZ (now cancelled); a bank, grocery stop, gas, post office stop all before 1pm as I have a hair cut scheduled and confirmed. Now I can relax, eat breakfast at home and do the errands without the time crunch.
Go with the Flow!
In real estate, especially in real estate, having an attitude of go with the flow is necessary if not required. Processes, procedures, appointments, etc. change due to one’s own experiences or to outside influences from clients to legal requirements.
Go with the flow does require some flexibility and an attitude of stay calm. Life is indeed crazy busy. We can either fight the craziness while increasing our stress or just the opposite.
Remember, the flow can always be diverted!
