5 Myths About A Sick Real Estate Agent

Today I emerged from 10 days of a flu that exceeded my worse fears, that pain can actually cause death.

For 5 days I was unable to move. For 2 days I moved a little, then a little more. For all 10 days I could not put together a sentence, answer the phone, let the dog out or sleep. And yet, from the messages I received from other agents, I realized that there are at least 5 Myths circulating the Outer Banks about an idle, ill real estate agent.

Myth #1

You must be bored and anxious to do something! Good thing you have that new listing to write up.

Myth #2

You will feel better if you get productive. This isn’t a vacation, you know.

Myth #3

This is a good time to catch up on those marketing phone calls since you have time to really chat them up.

Myth #4

How nice that you have quiet time to whip out that Business Plan for 2010.

Myth #5

And isn’t it thrilling that you have time to write all those blogs you talk about! Lucky you!

All I can say is, ARE YOU INSANE!

Oh, and thanks for calling, it will be nice to return to work tomorrow to see all of you and begin again.
