Your Health and Your Business

Why in the world is a Realtor talking about health? Let me tell you. If you are unhealthy and unable to get up and be productive, your business will crumble. I can vouch for this because of the degree of difficulty I am going through.

I recently had ankle surgery and now sort of house bound. I am currently unable to drive, and this is affecting my productivity. I am doing a lot at home, but seriously there is only so much you can do.

Point being, your health is important. Take care of yourself, keep being healthy. If you believe that your time is money, well then any downtime you have recovering from injury and/or illness is money lost. Don't feel greedy about being healthy. It only takes one fall to put you out of commission.

Exercise and a good diet can go a long way. Increased energy from a good exercise program and a decent diet well again give you more productivity, obviously. However, your new elevated mood will be noticed and your work will reflect your new found attitude.

I am by no means a health nut. I too am a proud owner of a beer belly. I junk out on fast food just like everyone else. But there is a point of moderation that everyone needs to bear. Start slow, and build up your healthy lifestyle instead of jumping into it. Instead of dramatically changing your life, and then slowly changing back try changing a little day by day, and eventually becoming a new and improved you!

Being successful and wealthy is a lifestyle change. No matter how much you think money is involved, reality proves money isn't even half the battle to being on the road to wealth. The change is with you and how you live your life.
