Do you have difficulty getting up in the morning?
Are you always tired?
Do you forget things?
Do you lose your temper easily?
Do you feel overwhelmed most of the time?
When at work, do you look at your watch?
Are you bored?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, you may be burned out on your job. Changes in the real estate market can be stressful, but don't worry, the following advice may help you rediscover your enthusiasm:
Build a support system. Real estate is a social business - agents who thrive in real estate are friendly and outgoing people. When you have a bad day, it's important that you have co-workers, friends or family members to turn to for support or just to share a laugh. Cultivating relationships can make you feel connected to others and help reduce stress.
Add fun to your daily work life. Buy an amusing calendar for your desk or take the time to read a funny e-mail. Staying positive can help you see the humor in stressful situations.
Be kind to yourself. It's easy to be critical when things aren't going the way you'd like, but you'll feel more confident if you focus on your favorable attributes. After you've had a successful closing or anytime you are feeling particularly proud of yourself, write a list of your best qualities and keep it in a safe place. Then, anytime you feel discouraged, refer to it and focus on those traits.
Finally, remember why you chose a career in real estate in the first place. Was it because you enjoy being with people? Were you excited to help a family find the home of their dreams? Did you yearn for the freedom and flexibility that a career in real estate could offer?
Consider taking a class or joining a professional group; furthering your education may spark that initial flame of interest again. You may simply need a challenge to re-ignite your passion for real estate and keep you from feeling burned out.
