Why Your Business Plan Should Address Burnout Prevention
National Association of REALTORS®
|
Build in time for self-care in order to set boundaries around the work-life balance you want to achieve.
As the year comes to an end, it’s a time to reflect on all you’ve accomplished and all you strive to achieve in the new year. This time of reflection may bring a mix of emotions, from gratitude to disappointment. But whatever feelings arise, remember that building a successful life and career takes time, consistency and, above all, strategy.
