Insanity or what it takes?

 Interested in your comments re what it takes to succeed in this business. I find that chasing leads needs to be an urgent business as in Memphis right now once a property hits the market if it is a real deal it sells within about an hour.

So I have my emails for example pushed to my laptop, my Ipad and my phone.  Now that I have a big screen phone, (Samsung Note 2), I pretty much live on that and I have it alert me  of any incoming emails to certain labels. I leave this on 24/7 as often sellers are in different time zones.  

It is not uncommon for me to get an alert at 3Am and get up, research it and email an offer to the seller or even ring them.

People are also used to me checking my phone a lot of an evening.

I would say this is getting me an additional deal a week.

So my question is am I a crazy flipaholic who needs to get a life or is this just what you need to do to succeed?  What do y'all think?
