Working 20 fewer hours a week while selling more real estate

Quick summary

Christie went from working 60-70 hours a week to 40-45 hours after starting meditation in January. By July, she discovered she had sold more real estate in those months than the entire previous year—proving that doing less can accomplish more.

Pre-meditation, I was working about 60-70 hours a week and was burnt out. After I started meditating in January, I took to heart Emily’s saying “do less....accomplish more.” It is now July 2016, and I am working about 40-45 hours a week. Last week, I looked at my production numbers. I had to check them twice because I actually sold MORE real estate from January-July of 2016 than I did from January to July 2015.
