Falling Out of Love with Your Real Estate Business? This Will Fix That.

There was a time when I felt completely stuck in my real estate business.

I wasn’t miserable exactly, but I wasn’t exactly happy either. Some days, I felt energized and on fire—making deals, serving clients, feeling like I was making progress. Other days, I felt like my business was running me instead of the other way around.

I remember wondering: Is this just how real estate is supposed to feel?

For a long time, I convinced myself that the stress, burnout, and unpredictability were just part of the job. That I had to hustle this hard to be successful. That constantly feeling stretched thin was normal.

But what I didn’t realize then was that my relationship with my business was a lot like a relationship with a person. When things are good, you feel aligned, energized, and inspired. When things are off, you feel drained, resentful, and stuck in a cycle that’s hard to break.

So let me ask you—how’s your relationship with your business right now?

Is Your Business Your Soulmate or Are You On The Rocks?

If you’re not sure where you stand, I put together a quick 60-second quiz to help you figure it out. It’ll tell you whether your real estate business is:

✔ Thriving, aligned, and fulfilling—your true business soulmate.
✔ Stuck in an it’s complicated phase, where things feel fine but not quite right.
✔ A full-on situationship, where you’re constantly questioning if this is even worth it.

It’s a fun way to check in with yourself and see if your business is giving back as much as you’re putting into it. And if it turns out things are feeling off, don’t worry—you’re not alone, and there’s a way to fix it.

Why Your Business Should Love You Back

Here’s what I know now that I wish I had known years ago:

A real estate business should feel good. It should bring you joy, freedom, and fulfillment. Of course, there will be challenges, but your day-to-day shouldn’t feel like a constant uphill battle.

The best agents—the ones who stay in the game, grow year after year, and build a sustainable career—aren’t the ones who work the hardest. They’re the ones who build a business that’s actually aligned with the life they want.

If you’re feeling disconnected from your business, this is your sign to check in, reassess, and start making small shifts that bring you back into alignment.
