Can anybody that is here suggest how I stop doing what I am doing as far as real estate investing and education. And spend time with my wife any dogs. Since I have actively been pursueing real estate investing, the balance gets off and sometimes I need that break, but I don't take it.

Is there a way to strike a balance between real estate and spending time with the family. I am struggling with this right now and would like some input from some people who are successful in this business.

Thank you so much.

Nick :wink:

I was having this same issue too.

What I've found that works best is to schedule time with my family. Much like you schedule appointments throughout the day for various tasks to run, maintain and grow your business, schedule time with your family.

Some days I can be busy until 8:00 PM, but other days I might call it quits at 2:00 PM. Every day is different and the demands for family life and business vary, so set a schedule as the needs demand and stick with it. That's what has worked best for me, otherwise I'll just keep working like a dog.
