In the beginning twice a month is probably great, but once a month is probably fine too - most of all it has to be do-able, and if possible automate this if you get too busy.Finally, if you're a perfectionist and find you're getting hung up on over-planning and not executing (this has been my big problem, I'm not saying it's yours :) a book I think is excellent is "Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done" by Jon Acuff.Apparently I'm incapable of writing a short post. :)Would love to hear how things work out for you, I know people throw around a lot of dismal stats about starting out in real estate but I was a long shot and I lasted (including through the recession as a single-income person, my husband conveniently showed up in 2012 :) and I have a friend who started out new in 2007, right when we were gearing up for the recession - she did amazingly well while other agents were leaving real estate - combination of good sphere, amazing work ethic, high competence and she's very good at articulating her value. 

@Jon ArsenaultThanks Jon.
