Want to know the secret to becoming a wildly successful, top producing, charismatic, healthy and attractive real estate agent?\u00a0 Want to feel ten pounds lighter and ten years younger?\u00a0 Want the whole thing in one easy to swallow pill?\u00a0 Me too.<\/p>\n
I know all of us want to make money – some more than others.\u00a0 But our ultimate goals: security for our family, a peaceful sense of happiness, a worry free future – they are much more than just money, aren’t they?<\/p>\n
Earlier this week I was driving my two boys to school.\u00a0 The older one piped up and asked what day it was.\u00a0 “Wednesday” I replied.\u00a0 He was ecstatic with that answer; bouncing on the back seat and just as excited as a nine year old can be on his way to school.\u00a0 I asked him what made Wednesdays so special.\u00a0 “On Wednesday we have PE,” he explained.\u00a0 “That’s like an extra recess<\/em>!\u00a0 And on some days we play ‘anything-goes.’\u00a0 Those are the best days ever<\/strong>!”<\/p>\n I started wondering: when was the last time any of us scheduled an extra recess?\u00a0 Hell, when was the last time any of us scheduled a regular<\/em> recess?\u00a0 Can you remember the last time you found yourself enjoying a game of ‘anything-goes?’\u00a0 May I suggest that when you finish reading this article you go directly to your calendar and schedule yourself an extra recess.\u00a0 I’m not talking about some quiet time where you can get caught up on your paperwork!\u00a0 I’m talking about a long lunch or a long walk.\u00a0 Maybe going down to the beach or the park and bringing a picnic.\u00a0 How about meeting your husband or wife at a hotel near their<\/em> work for a romantic afternoon?<\/p>\n Schedule yourself an extra recess; preferably involving a little ‘anything-goes.’\u00a0 I guarantee it will do wonders for your business.\u00a0 You might even have “the best day ever.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want to know the secret to becoming a wildly successful, top producing, charismatic, healthy and attractive real estate agent?\u00a0 Want to feel ten pounds lighter and ten years younger?\u00a0 Want the whole thing in one easy to swallow pill?\u00a0 Me too.
