Hours that people work in real estate

(Snuggling my puppy on the floor when he was watching out the front window on a weekday afternoon)

I think I have the 'fun' version of working in real estate. My foreclosure auctions usually occur in the mornings and my real estate investor meetings are a night or two each week. So that means I have most afternoons off to do my other gig = being a mom to four boys and wife to a husband who's a nurse. That means that many days are the best of both worlds - work a little and still have time to help kids with homework, get all the soccermom driving duties done, and snuggle too! I definitely don't have my balancing act together to get home cooked dinner on all evenings - there's always areas I need to improve (for real!). But I'm pretty happy with opportunities right now.

When I was a kid, I remember interviewing and job shadowing professionals but I never knew exactly what I wanted to "do". I know many real estate investors that are working hard but their ventures require them to work crazy long hours. (Which I used to do in corporate event planning but is why I don't do that anymore!)
My son is starting middle school and being asked the annoying question of "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I say annoying because who really knows this answer? I never have. In whatever venture I've sought after, I did my best to enjoy it....and am doing so with real estate!

A recent video I saw on LinkedIn said it quite nicely - There is work/life balance. There's only life. And what you do with life is your balance.
**May you find your balance!**
