Eating some humble pie

Ok so my last post said I bought a new home. I posted it after submitting an offer and having it accepted. But after consideration of a few things, including the market, the new-ness of my relationship,etc, we decided to rent for a year until we buy a place. So we've been looking for a place and found the perfect home for us. It's big enough for plenty of comfort, it has an extra room for my office, its right by lots of biking, running, and hiking, AND it has the most amazing view of the ocean from the huge backyard. Its been a week since we found it, but we still dont know if its ours or not. The owners have another offer that came in first, but we bid higher, AND we rule! So I am expecting it to be ours. Stay tuned for the results.

In the meantime I learned a good lesson this week. One of the things I have heard in the last 18 months in my business from the leaders is to work less, play more and have better results. And though I got it in theory, I haven't really taken that to heart. This week, I have spent maybe 3-4 hrs a day working on my business and no more. I've gone biking, spent an afternoon reading on the couch, spent time oogling my potential new home, and just getting involved in other things. And as a result, I had a great week in my business, working less, and having fun.

It's really true though, especially in my world, because people are coming to me looking for a better life. If I cant be a demonstration of that, then why would they want to follow my path? No. If I continue to have fun, live the amazing life that I do, work less, play more, than more people will be attracted to that lifestyle. Its why I came to this business in the first place.

So lesson learned. GAME on!!
