Stop wasting time on Netflix and news. Real estate builders and team leaders need to cut low-value distractions and spend hours on what actually moves the business forward. The speaker uses time studies from their Real Estate B-School to show where people leak energy.
So I have slipped a little bit into watching too much Netflix. It's hurting my connection with my spouse and it's taking me away from doing other way, more valuable things like watching an hour of Netflix versus going for a walk or sitting on the back porch and just being, and just existing and being still and to stop striving. Granted, my rationalization for disconnecting or for Netflix is a little bit of disconnection. So a little bit is okay. But if you're watching two, three, four hours a night, or you're always on social media, or you're constantly watching the news, if you're like the 24 news cycle, 24 hour news cycle is something that you're checking in for multiple times a day. The chances that you succeed and generate enough energy to succeed and momentum to succeed in the areas of life that matter most to you go down considerably. If you're just like in social media, in sports, in the news cycle, you know, watching Netflix and you're just constantly sort of, you know, you're not really honoring your commitments. I tell our members at real Estate B school, if I could follow top agents and team leaders around for two weeks, just give me two weeks. I want to literally follow you around for two weeks. We actually do two week time studies in Real Estate B school. But if I could just follow you around and I'll do the time study, I'll write down where you're spending your time, it would not be a good situation. It would be. Most real estate agents, even some team leaders, are doing tasks that are not critically important. I'll reveal something I did today. If you're watching the YouTube version of this, I am looking for. I probably spent a half hour today of unplanned, unblocked time looking for a better computer speaker option for my desk. I don't need it. I just want to have a clean looking desk. I obsess over my desk and that just happens from time to time. I think it's more important to spend a half hour researching, you know, the best, most sleek computer speakers than doing, you know, a podcast episode or creating a tool or system that our coaching clients can, can benefit with. Right? So, so we all squirrel out into these things that aren't as impactful as you want them to be. So that is my encouragement to all of you is that this is a never ending battle of there's so many things around us that will suck the energy out of us and it's on us as business builders. Right? You're here for real estate team builders, right? You are a business builder listening to this podcast, and you've got to protect and generate energy at a very high level.
