My former mother-in-law was a Realtor, and it was pretty true of her that there was no such thing as a "day off." She was pretty much "on" 24/7/365 and that was all there was to it, whether it was open houses, showings or something else. At least it's what's required if you want to build any measure of success.

Of course, a lot of people seem satisfied with some variation of mediocrity. Which sort of brings the circle full around to the idea behind this post...

Thanks for the good wishes!
