I have two questions for you:

• When was the last time you took a full day off—no phone, no text messages, just a day totally devoted to relaxing and enjoying life?
• During the last 30 days, how many times have you let a real estate appointment keep you from taking time off?

While you may feel all those clients and appointments are critically important, here are some other important questions to consider.

When you look back over the last ten years, what memories do you have? Do you remember all those important clients that you missed events for? Or are your memories of the special times when you did take time off?

Chances are your most special memories are those outside your business. In general, the richness of our lives comes not from how many houses we sell, but from the times spent with friends and loved ones. If you haven’t done so already, schedule at least one full real estate free day as soon as possible.
