How to Stay Sane?

[Wyatt Seidel]

Hey all,

I'm an investor and a newer real estate agent here in the Kansas City area. My wife and I have been investing for a few years and in the last 3 months I left my W-2 job as a Registered Nurse to pursue real estate full time.

Firstly, I love it. I wish I had been doing this earlier. On another token, I'm working a lot more now. I love the hustle and the grind. The 60+ hour work weeks don't feel that busy because this is my passion. 

From experienced investors, agents, and contractors point of few, how do you all go about staying sane? I know most people would crumble having to be as busy as most of us. That being said, what are some ways you guys like to de-stress and take a load off? 

My wife and I love to do projects around the house and go golfing when we can. Just getting outside to walk around and hit some crappy golf shots helps us enjoy some time off and relax. What about you guys?

Quote from @Wyatt Seidel:

How many rentals do you have that it requires 60 hours a week? I was probably managing 150 before I spent that many hours, and that was managing for other people which required more communication with the owners. If you are managing your own rentals, you should be able to handle 100+ in a 40-hour work week.

It may be time to find a coach/mentor that can help you become more efficient with your time.
