Take the Afternoon Off + Brooklyn Tool Shed Listed for $500k + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! May 23, 2016 Take the Afternoon Off Dear Reader, Out of all of the perks of being a REALTOR, there is one that doesn't ever get talked about enough: I can take a random day off. How cool is it to be able to ditch the desk, catch lunch with an old friend, then catch the latest action flick at 3PM (when the prices are cheaper and you can sit anywhere you want). It's really cool. You're in control of your schedule, and your practice can bring in money even when you're at the movies. I stopped attending closings about six months into my real estate career. Best decision you could ever make. Plan a day at the beach (or lake for you midwesterners) on your next closing, and tell me if you don't prefer it. It's great. But I have a theory why REALTORS hardly ever talk about this perk. Most agents never take advantage of this perk. They have to work around the clock just to scratch up enough customers to keep up their modest income. If we aren't busy attending a closing (for no reason), we are busy volunteering for extra floor duty, sitting open houses, or calling our sphere of influence. And when we do force ourselves to take the afternoon off, we are unable to enjoy it, because we're worried about when/where we'll find our next customer. It wears on you. The good news is I've helped thousands of agents free themselves forever from that burden. Here's just one example. This is part of an email I got from an agent this morning. By the way, I love your website. I had to actually stop posting because I got behind on calling leads. I am going to hit it hard when I come back from Europe. Stacie, Broker Indiapolis Not only is she able to take the afternoon off -- she can take the whole month off, travel Europe, do whatever she wants. Because when she gets home, she knows she has the ability to capture new customers on demand. Here's the kicker: She's running free Craigslist ads like my coaching staff showed her. Not spending a dime! Kudos, Stacie, you're an inspiration. Now what if you had joined when Stacie did? Could you be on your way to Europe for a few relaxing weeks right now? You could be on your way to wherever you want, stress free, because you wouldn't worry when/where your next customer will come from. If you want to be in control of your schedule again, you can.
