How do you combine hobbies with your Investing?

[David Stewart]

I'm a real estate agent in Kansas City and I love my hobbies.  Dirt bikes and woods racing in particular.   Although it's like a second family to me, I'm having trouble correlating the two.  There's also the issue of balancing and prioritizing the two.  Most riding days are on weekends, and weekends are also hot for showing houses. I have two questions regarding this topic:

1.  What are your hobbies and how do you incorporate that into your business?

2. How do you prioritize each respective activity regarding scheduling conflicts?

If your livelihood is made solely from Real Estate then your hobbies need to be prioritized.

Depending on your obligations- family and financial will determine how the scales will balance in each.

If you are making enough money to take weekends off for your hobbies then do it but if your not making enough money then your weekends need to be used making money. You need determine the lifestyle you want to live.

For me it’s opposite Real Estate Investing is a hobby for me. I do it for fun.

My w-2 take priority for me and I wouldn’t put my hobby before my career.

Just my opinion.
