The reality of having 'no time'.

The life of a Real Estate Agent is a 24/7 selfless job, but the minute you lose one's Self you run out of time.
By responding to clients out of hours, committing to things that means you'll have to work late into the evening, by making promises that extends your workday into your personal time – all you're doing is disrespecting yourself and your time.
The minute you start to disrespect your time, is the minute everyone else will too. When you disrespect your time, you create no time for you to do anything well and you'll slowly start to lose the love for your work.
You’ll start to feel taken advantage of, unappreciated, resentful, and demotivated with zero work life balance, all because you disrespected your own time and let your boundaries slide.
To restore the balance, set clear boundaries that adhere to your expectations, and put in place structures and strategies so clients, colleagues, friends and family know where they stand.
As soon as you start to respect you and your time again so will everyone else.
Reset your boundaries, start to leverage your ‘work’ time, respect your personal time, and everything will change.
When you make that shift, you will create time, you'll gain respect for yourself again and with that the love for your work will return tenfold.
