You don't have to be great at something to start, but you have to start to be great at something. - Zig Ziglar

Life is all about priorities and which ones you decide to place on the top of your list. I am so incredibly grateful to be able to plan my vacations in my own time without having to consult any bosses. Nonetheless, I need to be mindful about my baby, employees and professional licenses. ??

I never expressed this, but being away from my baby for so long was killing me despite Bali being so gorgeous for 3 weeks. When I surprised her in the van, she had the biggest smile in her face and was shocked for a few minutes. She couldn’t stop giggling when I finally wrapped my arms around her. It was literally the best feeling in the world.

I went to bed with my baby in my arms as soon as I got to Leadville-bound. I have immediately decided no more long vacations without her. I may do a spa day here and there or a few days trip for a real estate workshop, but I can’t do another 3 week vacation without her again for the time being. She is my absolute favorite person in the whole wide world! ??

I look forward to the day I utilize cloud-based home schooling programs and show her everything this spectacular planet has to offer. She is the reason why I am working so hard to develop and sustain my businesses. ??

As much as I would love to enjoy attending various free shows at local ski resorts this weekend, I have a busy next few days/weeks attending seimars addressing water rights and well developments first thing tomorrow along with continuing education classes. I have showings, business infrastructure enhancements, online classes, and digital lead generation developments I must complete as well as developing a mailing advertisement plan. I purchased this new book by David Cancel in Hong Kong that completely evolved my outlook on online lead generation. Maybe I can make time to attend one free show with my baby, we shall have to see. Fun fact: Cecilia’s first show was Three Dog Night at Copper Mountain Ski Resort. ??

Here is a brief outlook on my calendar for the next few weeks. I have to draft up business ideas for my meeting with a small business consultant this week and make time to attend a workshop in Newport, California with the #1 real estate coaching company the following week. Yes, I value coaches highly and utilize them as I provide my services as an empowerment and results coach to my clients. Coaches truly do make a difference. Real estate is all about having strong, solid network connections that you can utilize to help your clients win. I make it a point to meet every Realtor in Lake and Chaffee county and understand their preference style so I can maximize acceptance opportunities for my buyers when they decide to present an offer. I get very creative on the real estate form in order to make it attractive for each listing agent. All thanks to my coaches and mentors! ??

I don’t mind committing to all these hard work for I have another big vacation coming up in Cancun at an all-inclusive resort, dirty thirty blastoff with my best friend in Emerald Isle, NC, and a potential wine country trip in Baja California and Puerto Vallarta.
