  • Episode 15: How Real Estate Agents Can Take a Vacation Without Losing Business

    Can you take a real vacation without missing opportunities, disappointing clients, or losing momentum? Coach Dawn Zehren says time away can actually help you grow a more profitable and sustainable business when you plan for it correctly.  

    In Episode 15 of Growth Mode, Dawn shares how successful agents prepare for time away, arrange coverage, set boundaries around checking in, and schedule appointments and prospecting before you return.

    You’ll also hear how vacations can actually strengthen client relationships, create opportunities to think more clearly, and get some well-deserved rest. Although we don't need to convince you that you're probably overdue for that.  

    If working 24/7 has started to feel like the price of success in real estate, there is a different approach.
