Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time.
The need to recalibrate.
In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic for another post.
May is often that month for me.
Typically – I’ve spent the last few months working 6-7 days a week telling myself, I’ll regroup when things calm down. Baseball has been going for months, I’ve been skipping workouts, eating way too many tater tots and donuts (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) and just feeling off.
I’m functioning, but I’m far from thriving.
And that’s a normal May.
This year is different.
My Dad passed away 2 years ago. My Mom a month ago.
And grief is teaching me a lot.
It’s teaching me that recalibration is no longer an option. It’s a requirement.
So I’ll be showing up a little differently for the next few months as I give myself the space and grace to figure out what that means.
Yes, I’m staying in real estate.
Yes, I’ll still be launching classes this Fall.
But I can already tell, it’s all going to look different than it did before.
This Summer feels less about striving and more about listening. Less about forcing clarity, and more about creating space for it to arrive.
If you’ve been feeling the urge to recalibrate in some form, I invite you to follow along.
Even if you’re not recalibrating, but you’re all in on an honest version of what it looks like to run a real estate business and navigate the real side of life. Come join me.
I can’t promise that I’ll get it all figured out, or that’s it’s going to be pretty. In fact I’m excepting some beautiful insights along with some very messy moments. But if you’re in for all of it. Follow along.
I’ll be sharing updates in these weekly emails.
More – this is what I’m experiencing this week and how I’m navigating it.
Less – here are 3 tips to do whatever.
I also be sharing more over on Instagram, especially in stories, if you want to follow along there too.
Why share something so personal?
Honestly? It helps me process. Giving voice to the things that are happening helps me see what’s really going on underneath it all.
And because one of the biggest gifts I’ve ever received is knowing I’m not alone in things.
If I can help even 1 person know that they are not alone in needing to recalibrate – it’s worth it.
To your success!
