If your business has not been affected by the economy considered yourself fortunate.  The real estate market has certainly been challenging for a while now.  Recently I found myself staring at my cell phone certain it must not be working properly because it was not ringing…at all.

Rather than stare at my computer and curse my cell I decided to do something for myself.  Golf is my passion and has been since I was a child.  I have always wanted to get a professional club fitting and it was something I had never allowed myself to do.  I made the appointment, over came my self induced guilt trip and went for it. 

Being the conscientious realtor that I am I of course brought my cell with me just in case it started functioning again.  The club fitting was quite an experience.  I hit golf balls for two and one half hours with every brand of club on the planet.  Did I mention I live in Florida and it was really hot, too?  During the course of this exhausting yet exhilarating  exercise my phone wouldn’t sop ringing.  Before it was over I had a new listing, two buyer leads and a transaction that was going to close ahead of schedule.  I also got a great set of clubs.

The point is you don’t have to be sitting in a office to be productive and sometimes getting out is far more productive.  The next time you feel like you have hit the wall go do something you really enjoy.  You might be surprised just how beneficial that can be.  I have to go  my phone is ringing.
