FEBRUARY BLOGS
Please read carefully when I write this with love and when I say it with my whole chest: Don’t make yourself a victim of burnout later because you’re too busy to regulate your boundaries and priorities today. The spring market is well in swing and we’re getting a taste for what the Summer will be bringing us here in 2026.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had several coaching calls where the theme has been the same: “I don’t even know where to start.” The reasons of course are varied. Seasonality in our businesses. Political unrest. Market shifts. Family demands. A news cycle that never sleeps. A phone that never stops buzzing. It’s not just one thing — it’s the cumulative weight of everything.
There’s a conversation I have at least once a week: An agent tells me, “I’m calling my database. I’m reaching out. I’m staying in touch. But I’m not getting any referrals.” I always think the same thing: If you’re talking to people and nothing is coming back, one of two things is happening.
Paul McCartney talked about the early days of The Beatles and how getting hits meant real money. He and John Lennon used to joke about writing a song that would literally pay for a swimming pool, because that’s the sort of thing they dreamed of being able to afford when they were working-class kids with no jobs. “Somebody said to me, ‘But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.’ That’s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, ‘Now let’s write a swimming pool.’”
Here’s a friendly reminder to go visit your goals, my friends. Not just to make sure you’re on target this year, but also to make sure you placed the right bets from the start.
