In this business you are working constantly.  I like to think of myself as a very balanced individual.  Having said that, as a married father of 4 I have found out that working at home (to be proactive) is impossible.  My kids are 8,6,4, and 2.  My wife is pregnant with number 5.  If I work at home...I'm poked and prodded until my children pass out at bed time...

I am the V.P. of a national mortgage company and have a clientele and work and originate and recruit and manage a branch and....the list goes on.  Oh...I'm also a coach within our industry.

I have outside interests as well....So what I do...is every morning I get up help get the kids off to school and drive to a local Panera Bread for 1/2 hour or hour or 1.5 hours.  I am not interrupted for one time in my day.  I get to be proactive for one time of the day.  Now I still get proactive stuff done during other times of the day, but this is my time.  I do my daily bible reading, set my schedule and get proactive things done....

My question is ...."How do you move forward?How do you get proactive with your life?  Is there a place and time?"  Share with us and we'll all learn....

I have an RV and during the week it has become my home office. The kids understand that you leave daddy alone when he is in the RV and it has worked out amazingly well! I haven't checked, but I am really hoping that it makes the RV a tax write off - lol

That is so cool....I need a daddy place a little closer by than Panera and an RV might just do the trick.  Thanks for sharing.
