Is life feeling out of control? Or maybe you’re not sleeping, or having relationship problems? Are your passions in life waning?

If any of that sounds familiar, then you’re likely not taking care of yourself the way you know you need to be.

First things first—I am not a guy working in the fitness industry, and I have nothing to sell you about health or wellness. No supplements for sale here. My days are invested in a quite different space—the mortgage industry—where I coach loan officers, business partners, and clients on ways to do the largest transactions of their lives in a different, better way.

You see, self-care is a crucial factor to consider in any business situation. It can help ensure that you remain productive, creative, and healthy in the workplace. Taking the time to look after yourself helps to reduce stress, improve overall well-being, and build resilience. It can be as simple as taking regular breaks throughout the day, nourishing your body with healthy snacks and meals, exercising regularly, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. By prioritizing self-care, you can stay focused, energized, and motivated to reach your business goals.

I know that the only way my team and I would have been able to achieve ranking in the top 1% of all mortgage originators in the US multiple years in a row, is because I put self-care at the top of my list on the daily. Without that, I cannot be the best leader for my business, the best husband to my wife, the best father to my children, or the best leader in the many other circles that I run.
