 What's up everybody? What's happening? Ricky Krooth here. Look it's Saturday I'm about to go meet a client and do a walk-through on a property. I'm getting both sides of it, right? It's 535 giving both sides of it 5% and it's my buyer. It's my seller rock and roll We're already under contract the buyers just coming down to do a little inspection So super excited about that even though it's a Saturday. Hey, right? Wouldn't you be excited about it? I'm sure you would be but there's many many many Saturdays that I've showed property to buyers that never bought anything Still haven't bought anything to this day. They still may get my weekly emails and maybe they'll do something at some point But they haven't anything up to this point and I mean a lot of these buyers. So You know, I want to talk about working 24-7 tomorrow Sunday I have a listing appointment at 10 30 and have an inspection to be at a real inspector with Respection with an inspector at 11. So this is going to cut into my family time. This is cutting into my weekend Right, so there's a lot going on here and this is the life of a real estate agent And it's definitely a con right pros and cons. You got to think about does the pros outweigh the cons? Absolutely, but I want to talk about both In my little series here and just kind of share with you, you know The insides of my business the behind-the-scenes of how I operate, right? This is my way to just get back to you some more raw content unedited and just kind of tell you like it is so You know working 24-7 as a real estate agent is definitely a con I did a video yesterday on time management. If you didn't see it, you need to go watch it People loved it and the biggest takeaway for me is is that I don't worry Okay, and don't worry about a lot of the things most people worry about a lot of the stuff that you're worried about it's not going to Happen anyway, so there's no need in spending time worrying about it. You could spend that same time Trying to figure out how to help more people. There are people right in front of you right under your nose that needs your help But you can't get to them because you're spending so much time worrying about everything else Okay, same thing with working 24-7 a real estate agents life You must be somewhat of a master at finding the balance between your faith your your health your Wealth right and your love your family Okay, so I'm very deeply involved in all aspects of my life And I want to give a hundred and ten percent to each aspect. How do I do that? I do it by mentally shutting down One sector like when I'm done with real estate at five or six o'clock. I shut down I'm done with that. I don't want to think about it not going to think about it If I get a call late at night chances are I'm not going to answer it There's been many calls that I don't answer late at night But there are some that I do call like if a deal is on the line, right? I'm going to get in there. I'm going to make that deal happen for sure If it's something that I know can wait till the next day absolutely. I'm not going to answer right I don't jump right on stuff like if an inspection report comes through at five o'clock I know I can handle that tomorrow. Some agents don't some agents stay up till 11 o'clock at night 12 o'clock at night Right handling stuff now when I was new in real estate. I worked 15 16 17 18 hours a day like a wild man I was definitely up late at night doing my emails trying to hack the system right trying to hack to see how I could Get to more people and help more people and get in front of more people So I definitely don't fault you there at all. Okay, I'm not saying that I'm just saying that when you get to a certain place in your career You have to find the balance between your faith your wealth your health and your family Right, you have to or it won't work. You won't be happy So just be a master at shutting down Right when you're at the gym shut down focus on you focus on the gym When you're in church focus on the church. I'll be thinking about work Okay, when you're in with your family focus on your family. Your family is why you're doing this You're doing this to provide for your family, right? So enjoy This process with your family, right laugh cry whatever watch movies going vacations do what you need to do to Create those memorable moments and share your life with them. Don't be distracted by worrying about what's going on with your work. Okay, so You know, it's kind of a downfall if you work 20 if you're a real estate agent because you're on call 24 7 not like a regular job Where you clock out and you're done But if you listen to what I'm saying and you learn how to control it Don't let it control you if you learn how to control it Then you can actually live a happy life even though You're on call and you have these problems in your business so on and so forth So I hope this video helps you a little bit And I'm just gonna keep pumping out these videos and this content and I'm hoping little by little I can just keep Packing away at you and hopefully I can get you into a place mentally Where you're more productive you're more happy You know, you're spending time with your family. You're getting more listings. You're doing more deals You're helping more people you're growing your database and you get to accomplish whatever those huge goals that you're trying to accomplish are so I Love you guys.
