Blogging isn't everything. Real estate isn't everything either.
That might seem to be strange statements coming from someone who blogged daily for over 10 years, and been dual careering for over 22 years, but from more than one perspective, it's a true statement.
For years, if I left town for any reason, my laptop was coming with me.
Just in case I needed to write an offer.
Just in case I needed to prep for a listing presentation.
Just in case I needed to blog.
Just in case there was something urgent with my engineering job.
Just in case...and the list could go on and on.
So far this month I've made 3 trips, 2 planned, and one for a short notice emergency. Times my laptop came with me? Zero.
The reasons for the trips topped anything else I could want or need to do that involved blogging or real estate. I tend to be a private person, so the number of you that know the WHY behind the emergency trip is small, and will likely stay that way.
Sometimes, everything else can wait while ONE THING that truly matters is first.
The ideas for posts will still be there tomorrow. Next week. Next month.
Business can be referred.
Appointments can be rescheduled.
There will always be people buying and selling homes.
Being where you're needed, when you're needed, that's the priceless part of life.
And not being there when you needed to be? It can remind you that sometimes we need to examine our priorities, and make some changes. Some opportunities are one time offers.
Keeping in short, perhaps there's somewhere else I should be.
Until next Tuesday, just Ask An Ambassador if you need help,
