Like many luxury real estate agents, I used to think that there was no such thing as too much business. But the pace many of us had to maintain during the housing frenzy of the past few years was exhausting, and burnout was a real problem.
Balancing the personal and the professional now has a whole new level of importance. Here are my top tips for work-life optimization.
Think big
It’s important for agents to take the long view. In the past few years, the pace of sales made it harder to think beyond the day-to-day. But if you’re not creating and implementing a long-term strategy, you may find yourself stuck.
I recently implemented a three-year strategic plan that incorporates both my personal and business goals, which I review every quarter. Luxury agents are no strangers to ambitious goals, but taking steps to formalize them — and to factor in your personal well-being at the same time — can help you be more motivated and intentional.
Think small
Commit to productive habits and rituals, and don’t forget the basics. Staying aware of the little things gives me greater clarity and consistency. I’m continually evaluating my workflows and processes so I can automate, eliminate, and delegate in every aspect of my business. This allows me to focus on what I do best, and optimize my efficiencies.
Think positive
