You’re a real estate professional. How can you make sure you don’t burn out?

Most people set goals incorrectly. It's fine to set a goal, but then you have to figure out what you need to learn and the activities required to achieve that goal. For example, you may set a goal to lose 10 pounds. You can visualize it, put post-it notes up everywhere, meditate on it, and repeat your mantras all day long. But what's really required is to LEARN what it will take, and then take those ACTIONS. Set a goal to walk, work out, eat better, etc. and then the goal of losing 10 lbs. will be possible.

I've been really close to burning out, which is why this topic was prevalent for me. What I did to help me was to get the support of a performance coach, she helped me prioritise the high value tasks for my property business, implement kaizen into my working practices - 1% progress everyday which compounds and build in family time into my my diary as this was the first thing to be sacrificed in my working day!

1) Use your calendar. It's there for a reason. 2) Use technologies. Email shortcuts, CRM (ie. Follow-up boss, etc.), ChatGPT to support and fine-tune your marketing tasks quickly and easily 3) Create a system where you can automate repeated tasks. 4) Be prepared. Your day starts the day before. 5) Don't make promises you can't keep. It'll be a time-drain down the line.

Some Real Estate agents do not set SMART goals. As a result, they cannot track what goals have been achieved. Also, some agents have not mastered how to handle rejections and disappointments from clients. This also increases the stress and could lead to burn out.

Aprendendo todos os dias, com gerenciamento do seu tempo e gest?o de equipe de vendas e de comercial, delegar e olhar de perto as fun??es de cada componente da sua equipe. Com uma gest?o horizontal o que facilita as suas a??es e coloca os colaboradores em uma posi??o de confian?a no gerenciamento das suas tarefas.

Separate your "Work" mind from "Break" mind. When you work, only think about work. When you rest, focus on your rest, look around and spend time with your family, do what you like to do, play sports, listen to music, etc.

Work expands to fill the time allotted. Set aside a certain amount of time to work on a project, then STOP at the end and go do something else. That will train you to work more efficiently. Someone who spends 1 hour making follow-up calls to potential clients and takes the rest of the day off will do more "work" than someone who spends 10 hours at the office doing not much of anything special.

To combat burnout, effective time management is key. Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. Delegate non-essential tasks if possible. Create a realistic schedule that allows for work-life balance. Utilize tools like calendars or apps to organize appointments and activities. Remember to allocate time for self-care and relaxation. By implementing these strategies, you can boost productivity and prevent burnout.

Managing your time effectively is crucial. Understand your budget and limitations, and allocate time accordingly by blocking out your week. Commit to your plan diligently.

We're back to the crucial importance of TIME BLOCKING. Fill your yearly/quarterly/monthly diary with your family time first. Next up is your personal health. Finally, work-stuff. ie daily should look like: Time to lead generate. Time for that personal lunch. Time to follow up with your clients. Time for those in-person meetings. Time to go watch your 9-year-old's soccer game. Everything can fit in. Just time block it ahead of time. Slot your appointments into the next available pre-determined spots in your diary. And if you ERASE, you REPLACE.

In the 1500s, the artist Raphael was commissioned for Vatican frescoes by Pope Julius II. He immersed himself completely, pioneering new techniques while painting The Stanza della Segnatura. As more patrons requested his work, Raphael began saying "yes" to every project out of ambition and greed. He took on students & quality declined. Raphael confided that his talents were being dissipated. His mentor bluntly responded that he lacked the courage to say 'No'. Raphael realized constant overwork destroyed his passion. From then on, he guarded his time, completed those works aligned with his highest values. Unless we courageously say "no," overcommitments ultimately undermine our highest potential impacts. Discernment preserves longevity.

Burn out is a real problem especially for real estate professionals because in my experience it is a 24/7 profession. But one should stay focused to personal goals and objectives, whenever you compromise on personal goals your conscious will start to nag you about it and that is the beginning of discomfort that feeling grows gradually and eventually forces a professional into a burn out. In my opinion having simple and realistic personal goals and experiences can help a professional to avoid burnout.

BURNOUT. Underlying reason is personal issues. Financial - You must have at least 1 year worth of funds to live. BROKERS who rely on deals are mostly STRESSED and pressured cause they have to pay their Rent, loans, and debts. Mostly, brokers who are established financially are less stressed and don't FOCUS only on the income but the outcome >> happy and satisfied clients. Mental - If you haven't mastered your emotions, you will have difficulty engaging with difficult people and deals. You have to understand yourself first ?? your values, principles and more important >> your bounderies. Spiritual - Being grateful and knowing that you CANNOT control everything. YOUR MORAL COMPASS > DO GOOD, DO NO HARM. Health - Never skip meals ??

Focus on the areas and type of property that you know well. Either turn down, or refer out other business that isn't in your area of expertise. It's better for the client, and better for you! I focused on one town as much as I could. I could have had 20 listings spread across 100 miles. Instead, I had 5 listings in one town, and people would tell me, "Wow! I see your signs EVERYWHERE!"

This is where many fall short and take the fall for it. It’s self-inflicted burnout. There’s 4 types of clients A - absolutely worth taking. B - best to take them. And then there’s the Cs and Ds. The Cancers and the destroyers. These are the ones you absolutely should say no to. Now go and define each one for yourself and stick to it. And most don’t want to do this because they fear they will lose deals upset people or simply are acting in desperation vs appreciation of their Own time and their potential client. My rule! I’m not a fit for you I’ll tell you. And if you’re not a fit for me I’ll tell you that

Make the most of training sessions offered at your brokerage. Listen attentively to experienced real estate agents and glean insights into their successful practices. Don't hesitate to inquire and ask questions to further your understanding.

Take Feedback from people with: Trustworthiness 1. Care 2. Credibility 3. Familiarity - strength and shortcomings. The Battle Within - eternal internal battle. 1. The parable of the Two Wolves: There are two wolves at battle inside of us, and the one that wins is "The One You Feed" 2. Imagine 2 lawyers in a courtroom inside your head. One is arguing for your possibilities and you achieving your goals, the other is arguing for your limits in why you don't deserve what you want. Who will win? The lawyer whom you pay the most. The way you pay these lawyers however is not with money is with your Attention.

One of the BEST parts of this career is that there is always more to learn. So many opportunities for growth. That's what makes every day new and exciting. And so much of it is FREE! Read blogs, listen to podcasts. If you are listening to music or watching other types of entertainment most of your non-working hours, you are building someone else's dream.

One of the best ways to combat burnout, in my opinion, is to bring in other people to support you. It may be admin, or social media, or an additional agent to help with showings. But being able to take some stress off your plate is key to keeping yourself sane. Find the thing you’re the worst at or that is maybe not your favorite task and delegate it. Utilize automated programs if they are available. Other than that, schedule, schedule, schedule. I find that my day flows better when I get up in the morning and schedule the things I need to get done. 1-2pm- social media posts, 4-5pm- paperwork follow up, etc. I schedule in workouts and cooking. Not that it can’t be flexible but at least I have a slot available for what needs to be done.

?? Attach yourself to a direction not an outcome. Embark on a path of sustained effort. Do it because you love the process, and who you become along the way. 1. Get up early and read for half hour to an hour. 2. Write down your goals 3. Plan everyday in advance 4. Set priorities 5. Listen to educational audios in your car. ?? 6. Ask 2 Questions: what did I do right and what would I do differently? 7. Treat everyone like the most important person in the world.

Leveraging resources so that you are not working 24/7. This can include but definitely not be limited to transaction coordinator, showing assistance, admins. Can also include leveraging resources in your personal life like a pet sitter, housekeeper, meal prep company. You also need to set boundaries with your clients. There is no need to see 20 houses in a day. Your clients know what they are looking for and you should as well if you have had a good buyer's consult. Have them choose 5 must see homes. Generally, one of those is the home they want.

When learning something that will change your life: You're going to feel overwhelmed. You're going to doubt your choices. You're going to want to quit. Zoom out. Remember your vision. Remember your goals. Remember your values. Remember when you started, but quit because you didn't see immediate results. Remember the person you want to become. Your future self doesn't care if you feel like doing it or not.
