What do brokers do to unwind?

A good book

I’m a massive and avid reader. I really love just sitting down, unwinding, and reading a book. I’m a massive literature geek in general. TV shows, movies, and everything, I’m always all about it.

Clear boundaries

I’m so much better at setting boundaries. When I first started, I thought I had to bend over backwards to be there for everybody instantly. And I thought that’s what it took to make a good broker and I wanted to prove myself. But then, over time I realised, “No, I have to have respect for myself.” By setting the boundaries, the clients start to respect me back.

Hobby hustle

I’ve got a lot of hobbies. I love the great outdoors. I love fishing. I love camping. I love going to the bush. My family’s got a farm out west. And I love my sports. So, I do have a lot of fun outside work hours as well.

Steps count

I made a decision about four months ago to do about 10,000 steps a day.

It’s fairly easy. You go for a little walk in the morning and the rest kind of takes care of itself.

What eventuated from that is a much clearer mind. I sleep better. I lost eight kilos as well. And now I’m even doing walking meetings. And I’m surprised to see how great it is to catch up with someone and just go for a walk.
