I have a question for you—how long has it been since you last took a vacation where you completely disconnected from your business? A week or two away can work wonders for your mindset and often increases your business as well.

Most agents have challenges doing this because they don’t have another agent to cover their business. Two of the easiest times to get away are over the holidays and in August before kids go back to school. A different strategy is to work with another agent you trust and to cover for each other when you each decide to take time off.

Personally, Saturdays are my “real estate free days.” I do my best to avoid even discussing real estate on these days unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Disconnecting for even just a day can be a powerful tool. To see if this approach works for you, try declaring one day a “real estate” free day. You will be amazed at how energized and invigorated you will feel when you get back to work, you may want to make this a regular habit.
