Most of us have to go to work every day, so there are two ways to look at it. 1) "oh my god another day at work", or 2) "hey I get to go to work today". In the real estate business we deal with the public every day. In addition we deal with them in a stressful time. Moving can be both very stressful and very emotional for our clients, it seems to me that part of our job is to make the best effort we can to take the stress level down and raise the fun level in all our transactions. We need to go out of our way to have a HAPPY FACE :) :) on each and every day.
If it is fun at your office it will make our jobs much easier and certainly it will make the clients feel much more at ease with their decisions to either buy or sell a home. Work should be the place we go every morning with a big smile on our face and with an attitude to have fun and to spread the joy. It might sound a little sappy, but to me it makes perfect sense. Second only to family time we spend more time at work than any other thing we do, we might as well enjoy the time we spend there.
As Realtors we spend more time working than in most other occupations because we need to conform our schedules to those of our clients. We work evenings, weekends, holidays etc. The good news is we choose to do this so we should enjoy it. No one forced us to become Realtors, as a matter of fact we spent a great deal of time, effort and money to become agents. No one to blame but ourselves. Even with the scheduling issues we run into from time to time, our job allows us to spend time with our families that others can not. We can schedule time during the "normal work day" to spend as we choose. So make the most of the time we spend at work, be happy about your job. Be proud that we help clients through stressful times.
Come to work and have a blast. If you are having fun you will find that your clients will have more fun. More fun for them means less headaches for you. It is well worth the effort to SMILE each and every day.
