Deserve a long weekend off? That's the provocative question at the heart of this raw, unfiltered discussion about what it truly takes to succeed in business and real estate.
The answer isn't simple. Those who've been consistently working hard, generating results, and building a strong pipeline of clients and deals have earned the right to enjoy some downtime. But for everyone else? The weekend represents another opportunity to outwork the competition.
My personal journey required extraordinary sacrifice – working seventy consecutive days for five straight years to develop true expertise in my field. This relentless dedication wasn't punishment; it was the investment required to master my craft and build sustainable success. Even now, success doesn't mean disconnecting completely. During a recent shore trip, I conducted three listing appointments by phone while driving, joined a conference call with a potential vendor, and maintained business momentum throughout what others might consider "time off."
This isn't about glorifying hustle culture or burning yourself out. It's about understanding that in competitive fields, every opportunity you pass on becomes someone else's advantage. While you disconnect for three days, others are advancing their businesses, connecting with prospects, and solving problems. The harsh reality? Success isn't something that happens to you – it's something you create through consistent action and dedication.
Take an honest look at your business momentum. Are you where you want to be? Have you put in the work necessary to earn a break? Or are you finding excuses and blaming external factors for lack of progress? The question isn't whether you deserve time off in some abstract moral sense – it's whether your business is positioned where taking time off is a strategic choice rather than a setback. Your answer lies not in what you want, but in what you've built through your efforts so far.
