“Are my dreams even mine?”
I asked myself this question at the end of yet another 70-hour workweek. I had missed my daughters’ swim meets and soccer games just to get out there and chase the next transaction as a real estate agent.
The funny thing was, the reason I became an agent in the first place was that I didn’t want to work nights and weekends. Yet soon I found myself in the same hole every agent will eventually: the point where you’re not thinking about your career, or your freedom, or your happiness. You’re only thinking about the next transaction.
I’m TJ McGraw, creator of the Agent Mind podcast. My aim is to help real estate agents break out of the same rut I was in. I was trapped in a Groundhog Day loop of stress; my previous job as in the hospitality industry as an operations manager had been just as demanding. My personal life was suffering because of my job. And that was the point where I knew I had to stop looking outwards for only the next transaction, and actually, look inwards for once.
How do we define our goals? Usually, we just adopt other people’s – the simplest ones. Get the most money, buy the biggest car. We limit ourselves to one-dimensional thinking in a way that actually ends up hurting our bottom line. Yes, it may feel like you’re earning more money, but if it means sacrificing an extra 30 hours a week of your time… are you really?
What I find best is to let your entrepreneurial tendencies take over. Something that doesn’t require your constant presence, but allows you to make passive income. This income feeds back into your perception of your day job, and all of a sudden you’re okay with working fewer hours because you’re making more money anyway. You end up richer not just in your bank account, but in your life. Of course, this requires insight and self-discovery, which I’m only all too happy to help you with. To start redefining – and thus reclaiming – success for yourself, book a call with me today!
Best,
