Do you often wake up feeling less than enthusiastic about your day? You're in charge of your career, so why aren't you enjoying it as much as you should?
It's time to focus on your mental health. Join us as we sit down with Dani Hampton, a successful Texas realtor, to discuss practical strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Her tips are easy to implement and can make a significant difference in your life.
Dani Hampton's Background
- Most young adults will feel accomplished by buying a home at twenty-two. However, Dani discovered it was a big mistake.
- She soon realized that she wanted to start a family, live in a new area, and be closer to her family. The first time around, she didn't have the guidance of a real estate agent, but the second time, she made sure to seek it.
- After having a positive experience, she took the advice of her agent and went for her license.
- Ten years later, she is a successful real estate agent who has overcome many challenges to achieve her current status.
Personal Mental Health Challenges
- Those who enter the real estate industry at a young age often struggle with their confidence. Dani was no different when she started her career and found other ways to help build herself up.
- The fake it, till you make it attitude may hold some truth to the saying, and Dani shares how this helped her during her early career.
- One mistake many new real estate agents make is trying to work with everybody. She found that it's okay not to work with everyone who comes your way, as they may not bring out the best in you.
- Another mistake new agents make she also needs help with is letting a lost deal ruin her entire day. Dani shares how she turned this negative into a positive and stopped letting it destroy her.
Real Estate vs. Personal Life: How To Create a Healthy Balance
- Mom life, special events, friends, self-care days, and real estate—how do you balance it all without feeling overwhelmed?
- It may seem unnatural to say and do, but Dani shares that it's essential to always put yourself first.
- Before you put on your mom hat, start your to-do list, or phone a client, always have a moment to yourself and focus on what brings you joy. She takes the time to do her morning routine every day before tackling any tasks.
- Also, Dani shares how she keeps clients from blowing her phone up in the middle of the night and on her weekends!
Real Estate Guidance
- The slowdown in the real estate market is making it hard for everyone to gain clients.
- Dani believes it is time to embrace the career choice. It allows you to reflect on your goals and the real reasons why you're selling homes.
- Head to the blog for career journal prompts to help you remember why you're still in this industry.
"Understanding who you are and who you best serve will bring the best out of you." - Dani Hampton.
