A realtor explains why planning your year like a vacation matters: blocking time for family, business development, and key conversations with your spouse or admin keeps you organized and actually productive instead of just busy.
We spend way more time planning a week long vacation than we ever do planning our actual life. My daughter competes in horse shows, so, you know, five or six times a year we're traveling for that. My son is playing volleyball at a competitive level and that's 13 or 14 trips away, you know, in different states. We're jumping on planes for a period of time and then I'm traveling for business some and I'm traveling for personal. And so I need to make sure and look at the entire year, make sure there's not too much going on. And so make sure you take the time to do that. And then at the end of taking a little bit of time just to sit with some of this, I want you to think about, you know, what takeaways, what actions, what conversations do you need to have with people in your world. Maybe it's, you know, a conversation with your spouse about what the plan looks like for next year. If you don't go through something like that with your spouse or your administrator. If you're starting to build an actual business, get them on the same page with the priorities, the rocks, the pebbles, you know, they can help you stay in those time blocks to make sure that you're doing new business development every day. The prospecting, the lead follow up, you know, time blocking the afternoon for appointments and negotiating deals and building those systems.
