The one thing that hasn't changed about real estate is that y'all are good at taking care of everybody except yourself. You work out in your head because you didn't work out in real life, because you're tired. It's not because you didn't want to, you just didn't get around to it. You forgot to eat because you were taking care of people, so then you scarf down really crappy food at the end of the day. Pay attention to yourself. Give yourself the space to breathe, because the better you are in health and in mind space, the easier it is for you to help somebody else get get what they want. And to get them there, put your phone in airplane mode, take a little breather when you're in those conversations, and help them realize that there's more to this than just the bedrooms.
