Mom Guilt
Well, that was short-lived…I’m talking about no longer feeling overwhelmed. I finished up the Prosperity Plan but unfortunately, I’m feeling a little lost again. I was doing so well! I got off my routine once my daughter was off for summer break. She’s seven, and she’s such a joy in my life. But…she’s basically attached to my hip. I love that we’re so close, but it’s making my work life difficult. I know I’m not the only one; I know this is the famous mom-guilt everyone talks about. I just hadn’t had to deal with this in a long time. It sucks.
She’s scheduled to go to some summer camps next month through the city. In the meantime, she’s been going to work with me. Not that I’ve been going in very often. I take her with me on Tuesday mornings for the sales meeting and Wednesdays for the Lunch and Learn. I do my best to keep her busy the other days. It’s difficult to do on a tight budget and it’s also been so hot here lately.
I can only do my best, right?? Change is the only constant in life; I just have to adapt and keep going. This is my current daily To Do List:
Contact at least 5 people in my sphere of influence
Review the MLS Hotsheet
Social Media- post something; like, comment, share for others (help boost my fellow agent friends)
Read the corresponding contract paragraph of the Buyer Rep Agreement, the Listing Agreement, and the One to Four contract
Work on my blog content
I’m sure there is more I should be doing, but this is the best I can do at the moment. In fact, I have a hard time doing these few things everyday, with having to take care of my daughter. I think I also need to be signing up for Opportunity Time at the office more, and review everything I learned at Steps for Success training. Most importantly, I decided I need to sign up for the company generated leads this week. One of the seasoned agents suggested it to me last week. I asked my aunt about it over the weekend (she is an agent in New Mexico, has been for 40ish years!). She told me it’s probably a good idea. That seems to be the way agents are generating business for themselves in this day and age. I’m worried that I’m not quite prepared to handle what to do when I actually have an interested client, but I can’t let that hold me back! I’ll learn as I go along.
Ugh! And also, I haven’t picked a mentor yet!!! I’ll keep y’all posted about that, and everything else.
