Day in The Life 01 | Selfie Edition | Morgan Hawes Vlog
People ask me all the time how my days are structured in real estate and what kinds of things I do each day. Apparently most people think it's easy to be in real estate. That the money just comes to you. And that is NOT the case. It is easy to get into the real estate world because the barrier to entry is insanely low. But it is crazy hard to be GOOD at real estate, let alone great.
The average realtor only makes $42,000 a year, the majority starting out under $23,000 for the first few years. No wonder the majority of agents leave the business after 3 years. It is too hard to sustain.
Everyday is different in real estate - that's the beauty and the downfall. I love that every deal, every buyer and seller, and every market is vastly different from the last (even if they're happening at the same time). It's amazing. Some days I'm running clients to showings, some days I'm glued to my phone and computer writing contracts and negotiating, some days I'm creating marketing content, some days I'm scoping out off-market properties as potential investments, some days I'm on new buyer and seller consultations in their homes or coffee shops. And I could go on and on and on.
BUT if I can't insert control into my daily practice I will not succeed. Ever. Nobody would. Again, why the majority of agents leave the industry after 3 years. So no matter what my day looks like there are steps that I have put in place that I have to take in order to grow my business and brand and represent my clients to the fullest extent.
This video is a "selfie edition" of a day in the life of being Morgan Hawes, realtor, developer, and investor.
As a summary, here is what I keep consistent in my daily routine:
1. Morning Routine - the time for myself. Wake up early, workout, read, listen to an audiobook or podcast, play with the dogs, shower, make tea or coffee, etc
*Helpful Tip: I don't touch my phone until I am ready to start my work day!*
2. Finder Time - the time to take control of my business and give it direction. It is a purposeful time to chase opportunities and pursue leads and ideas that will help my business grow. Find the work as the CEO.
3. Keeper Time - the time to figure out how I’m going to spend money to make money. It is a strategic time to allocate resources to different decisions and help guide the direction of my business. Keep the books as the CFO.
4. Doer Time - the time where I actually do the things that I set up and strategized for during my Finder and Keeper time. This is the productive time when I get stuff done. Do the work as the staff.
*Finder, Keeper, Doer is a Ryan Serhant tactic that I highly recommend adding into any business owners and entrepreneur's daily routine.*
5. Nightly Routine - the time I take to prep for the next day to ensure a smooth start.
