Welcome to the Real Estate Block Podcast. Today I have me and my wife here going to tell you a little bit of what's going on during these holidays. So happy holidays Michaela. Happy holidays. Yeah. 2.5s Anyways, um, man, if you are an entrepreneur or aspired to be an entrepreneur and you're in the hustle and the grind every day, you hate holidays. Sounds so grinchy I know, why would you? Why would I ever say that? I'm just kidding. No, I don't hate holidays. I actually actually, I do love, uh, the Christmas time. Um, and as a believer, I also love, um, the fact that we celebrate, uh, Christ and everything. But the reason why, um, sometimes as an entrepreneur, the holidays can be, um, a time of frustration, especially in the very beginning of your early years. Again, this is our fourth year as business owners. Um, you know, it kind of slows down momentum. Uh, things things slow down, even if you want to step on the gas. Um, and but when it comes to people and you're trying to build a team, that's fine. So, um, it will kind of slow things down. What we what we have experienced is, um, and again, it's a learning experience. So take it from us, um, as you build a team, keep this in mind. You know, when I was coming up as kind of a solo guy, you know, people used to always say, hit the gas, get hit the gas. And you know what? I have always done that. And it's easy when you're kind of doing it by yourself. But when you build a team and you're kind of on other people's schedules, um, you can't really do that as much. So I want to talk about today, what kind of problems have we ran into this Christmas time and who it's been, I would say problems. It's like it's like this week has been a little nuts. Little good, little bad. What are your thoughts? Yeah, it was just it was kind of like everything all at the same time. It wasn't like, okay, this happened two weeks ago. Okay. Now this happened this week. And it was like everything all at the same time. Yeah. 1.3s Well he's like, oh, hi. Okay, here we are. Yeah. So the cool. So the thing is, um, this week so there's a bug going around, as we all know. Um, even my, my wife have a little, little bit of, um, some, some, um, you know, working in our throats and everything like that, but what? So a lot of people called out sick this week. Um, people are going on vacation, and a person quit and who were then gone, and they they did quit. But that being said, um, I want to kind of break all that down. And that happened all this week. And actually I heard somebody coming up is that, you know, again, going back into put, you know, put it off, you know, stepping on the gas, getting that marketing going, get locking up those deals. Um, continuing to push forward. Absolutely. 110%. You should still have that type of mindset. But as you become a, uh, owner and a leader of team and people, um, this will be the time that you, you need to have in mind. That people are going to go on vacation, sicknesses are going to come around, right? So, um, you know, it's not it's not a bad thing. It's just something that you just need to prepare for it, expect, etc.. Now don't be shocked when it when people are asking like, hey, it's the holidays, I need 3 to 4 days off. Like, no, don't be surprised by it. It's going to happen for sure. And you know, for us 1.1s it was all the same week. It's definitely yeah, it was all the same week, but that's fine. Um, so the thing what also like I said, we do it, we, we experience um, and we definitely make don't just do a Christmas day. We do a definitely a whole um, as well Christmas month, you know, I mean, for kids. Yeah. For the kids. We, we go to Polar Express. We're actually doing that tonight. We go to Santa's Village, we go look at lights. You know, we try to go up to the mountains. So we ourselves do the same exact thing. So that's not a bad thing. But, um, that being said, it, um, just today we're in the office. Right now, it's just me and my wife. Um, uh, you know, some people are out. We wanted to. And also some people kept just getting sick, and we just said, hey, everybody, just stay home for the rest of the week. And we'll see better before you keep passing it around. Yeah, we'll see everybody back on Monday. But that being said, um, so, you know, just again, still step one prepare for that. Prepare for vacations okay. Prepare for sickness okay. So obviously what does that mean? It means to an and including yourself as a high performer, um, as an entrepreneur and a high performer. Even sales. Take care of yourself. Take care yourself. Drink vitamin C, work out. Don't drink alcohol. Okay. That's going to tarnish your immune system. Okay. Um, so definitely focus on your health if you want to. If you want to make a lot of money, put all that crap aside. Focus on, um, being, you know, being healthy, go to the gym, work out every single morning. Um, you know, take your vitamin shot, take your turmeric, ginger, um, shots. Right. Um, pump that vitamin C into especially during this time. And I say that and I've been doing like crazy because I really, really do not like when I am sick and I'm trying to make money, okay. Money, money, money does not sleep, does not stop. But if you stop, money can't stop. If obviously, if you're not performing like the way you want to now again, there's going to be a time where we can step back in our business continuously running. I'm not there yet, but we did have a good year and we're going to have even better year next year.
