complete burnout

in this video I'm going to break down

how I deal with burnout it's happened to

me many times before and I kind of been

feeling it a little bit lately this

happens to everyone and I don't think

that this is a sign that you're lazy or

uh you're you're just not being

productive it's more of a normal cycle

you get high periods of productivity all

right we're going to get six feral

licenses in 3 months we're going to do

21 cities in 8 Days house hack Road show

House hack fundraising all the final

licenses I got like have five children

which we just did the these are all like

oh my God oh my God oh my God there's so

much there's so much there's so much

happening so fast and it's compressed in

just such a little bit of time I'm

like oh okay chill man cuz it's starting

to feel a little empty starting to feel

a little bit like what what is the

world why does it all matter

why do I feel empty and like I don't

really want to get up and work on this

how can I minimize this

feeling well in this video I know it's a

little bit different than what I usually

do but frankly I think a lot of you who

watch my videos are high performing

individuals you want bottom line

information but you also want

perspective you want Insight that just

nobody else is just willing to give you

straight and so I'm going to give it to

you straight in 2015 I experienced

burnout after five full years in real

real estate working 80 to 100 hours a

week that's insane it was insanely

stressful mostly because in 2015 I did

the most transactions I've ever done

before in my career all by myself it was

over 55 transactions average about 10K

per deal in commissions so I was doing

about

$550,000 in Gross commission income

which is absolutely insane for a single

individual without an assistant or any

kind of help it's really difficult you

need a team to do that kind of volume I

forc myself to do it all alone that's

very unhealthy so what did I do to solve

it well in

2016 I took the foot off the gas a

little not all the way you could still

go down the highway at 80 79 mil an hour

and but be in the light you don't have

to be Redline in the darn Toyota Sienna

all the time at 9 to9 miles an hour okay

you know need to be doing that it's not

healthy it's not sustainable drag it

down from Redline 100 99 drag it down to

about 80 because back then I was also

visiting cardiologists and realizing bro

you stressed out it's bad like why is my

heart hurt uh stress and I'm like that's

just mental was my take and they're

like that's a big part of your health

physical you mental you one 's broken

the other's screwed too and then when I

realized I'm like oh you know like

mental health actually matters like

stress and burnout are real like it's

not always just go work hard and grind

level 99 RuneScape go this is my that

wasn't supposed to be dramatic this is

my RuneScape mat very proud of these

days because when the farming skill came

out I was a top 40 Farmer for a while

not very long I got beat by a bunch of

other

Grinders but anyway uh so how did I

solve it then and uh what what about now

where do we sit uh well uh let me give

you a step by step for practical things

that you can Implement in your life

quick note some of you may have been

wondering what's going on with the

accountants stock uh advisers and

Traders investors Ben mala's going to be

there it's going to be great so check it

out go to me kevin.com or check the link

down below okay so practical

steps the first thing that really helps

me and this sounds crazy this sounds

like way too basic but frankly clean

your crap literally take the next hour

right now get some Windex clean the

screen on your computer that you haven't

cleaned you see those fingerprints there

okay on on your phone or your iPad that

you're watching this on or that grimy

remote control you might be holding

thinking about do I want to skip this

video Yeah clean it because the next

time you pick it up you're going to go

oh man that's nice see look at that I

just cleaned this last week and then

this kind of already gets a little dirty

that's crazy it it's amazing how quickly

the dirt appears you want this stuff

clean especially those iPads man those

things get dirty really fast although I

will say I'm pretty happy uh this uh I

got the new iPad here it's pretty fast

see those fingerprints see I got clean

that I've only had this iPad for a week

imagine if you don't clean this sucker

for half a year or ever got to clean it

I got this because we made a profitable

day well been making a pro profitable

day trades for a while we did a

profitable day trade on faray Futures

small detail and I made a bet on Twitter

that if if a certain option went into

the money and it made money on it that I

would buy the iPad even though I didn't

need it so I got it um but hey trading

has been going well a lot of people

joined the stocks and psychology of

money group and I have to say 3mon

realized profit is at

$757,000 which is really incredible

because this is not a very big account

that I'm trading in uh this is a $1.7

million account so it was basically a

$900 something thousand account that's

pretty good so I think we're doing

pretty well here I'm really happy about

that but anyway let's let's focus on the

task at hand the task at hand is number

one clean spend some time that trunk you

haven't cleaned that closet you haven't

organized that garage you haven't

cleaned up hop to it then number two

lists this sounds crazy but are you that

kind of person that has like paper

notepads on your desk sticky notes

attached to your computer screen sticky

notes on your actual computer screen

reminders on your cell phone un listen

to voicemails unread text messages

unread emails Reminders app lists to do

app lists productive app lists all this

like notion lists it's in freaking

insane dude when you're at 4:00 and

you're like what do I need to get done

today and you're like what what is the

like what's my top priority now you're

like well which which list which email

do I check first it is impossible to

manage it is impossible to keep straight

simplify everything in your life right

now to one list and then start checking

it off you can even have a daily portion

of that checklist where at the top you

have dailies did you wake up on time did

you brush your teeth little things where

it's like basic things where if you

check those things off you're already

starting the day off well okay these are

two really basic things number three

something that I prioritized in 2016 and

in

2022 when I also had another phase of

bur uh was Fitness like actually focus

on your health go for a walk go for a

run I haven't been doing that lately and

it's contributing me contributing to me

not feeling that great after all we just

had five children all the licenses uh

the house Haack Road show the second

startup like it's a lot there are a lot

of employees I have there are a lot of

employees Lauren has has to help with

the children there are a lot of

stresses focusing on your health and

making sure you have that time for

yourself is critical Lauren's been

feeling the same thing where it's like

okay I I need to hire another person so

I can have help around this time so I

can block out this particular window

where I could just focus on Lauren time

or Lauren and Kevin time or whatever so

important to make sure you can unwind

from work for a certain period of time

where nobody expects anything from you

so cleaning list Health easy mode okay

next one this one has been really really

hard for me number four patience unless

there's a massive

deadline it's okay to take a little

longer

it's okay if things don't go as fast as

you really want them to go now that even

hurts me just saying it because I'm a

very much like go go go we need to get

this done we need to get this done we

need to get this done in one of the

places I've really kind of pulled back

has been posting as many YouTube videos

it used to be go go go I got to get

three four videos out a day and I

realized that my enthusiasm for that

level of production has gone down mostly

because I don't like making a basic

video

I like doing depth of perspective and I

can't do that four times a day I can do

that once maybe twice a day but lately

it's been like four times a week so I

still got to figure out the perfect

balance there but I'm just going to keep

doing my best every morning we do the

market open live stream on the free meet

Kevin live Channel you can watch that

after that we do our course member live

stream and of course when I trade I send

those alerts to those of you in the

stocks and site group at me kevin.com

meet me at the millionaire Symposium by

the way if you're a course member you

could email us for a bundle coupon at

staff ATM

kevin.com uh but anyway patience

patience patience just chill like it's

okay to grow a little slower for a year

and then get that energy back and get

the ideas back and get the enthusiasm

back to really hit the ground running

again in the future that's what happened

after my 2016 phase I hit the ground

running in 2017 I got my lending license

I got my contractor license but I

couldn't do that in 2015

because I was too stressed and those

planted the seeds and foundations for

what are even better things today so I

think we often feel like oh well if

we're not always redlining we're losing

money when the reality is sometimes

those periods of letting the foot off

the gas are periods that are actually

critically necessary to help Propel your

business even further even faster so

that's been very useful for me now uh

something else that has been big for me

number five

relaxed travel plans so traveling is fun

but not when you're trying to like bang

everything back to back and you're like

rushing to get to your uh airport or or

a train ticket or the taxi because you

got all these events you've booked and

back toback travel like it's okay to go

on a vacation and book less like you'll

find time in these new

destinations and you'll go down

you know hidden uh hid hidden you know

roads or whatever in cities and streets

and find the local diners or maybe the

local restaurants or whatever the local

bars the local things outside of the

main touristy sort of areas and they'll

actually Enlighten you to a whole

different world of experiences just not

trying to go got to get all this stuff

in got a big checklist you have travel

plan it relaxed leave lots of time for

yourself especially if you're going like

over to Europe the jet like

sucks so another thing that has helped

number five so we've got cleaning lists

Health patience travel well plan number

six really really try to have a routine

as to when you wake up and the hardest

part of that is actually maintaining

that routine on a weekend everybody

always screws it up on a weekend but

there's something to be said about

waking up at a relatively consistent

time like you give yourself an extra

hour on the weekend is a really big deal

know but waking up at a relatively

consistent time very very very helpful

to minimize that feeling of stress and

burn out because if you screw up your

sleep schedule too much you're just

going to feel like crap and like you

don't want to do anything and like you

just want to roll up and crawl into bed

and sit there and do

nothing outside of that the next thing

and this is the last thing that's super

super helpful for me is come up with

some kind of goal or milestone

I think somebody without a Target or a

trajectory is kind of like floundering

and usually often unhappy unless you're

happy with your current state if you're

like hey I want to get to the next level

I want to grow this that or whatever set

a realistic Milestone and maybe it

doesn't have to be like hyper realistic

so go you know slightly outside your

scope but do set a milestone that you're

not going to give up on within a month

set a milestone give yourself a

reasonable amount of time so for example

let's say hey I want to spend today's

May 20th I haven't frankly really like

worked out or gone on consistent runs or

whatever in probably like a year uh yeah

uh sorry it's been a little busy maybe a

realistic Milestone might be hey let's

see like what is the best shape we can

get in between May 20th

2024 and December

31st let's try it let's let's make it a

commitment now let's try it and it

doesn't even have to be like oh yeah

we're liver King now jacked up on

steroids it's like let's just be

realistic and uh maybe aim for a little

bit more than realistic so realistic is

like I worked out a day how about like

December 31st should look good in a

bathing suit level right like oh okay uh

that would be great so I think those

that's that's like a little you know

something that that people can be proud

of so an achievement you could be proud

of would be really useful of course I

have other goals as well whether they

are goals with hous hack you know iping

our first mini fund uh expanding our

first cycle into the second cycle uh

buying real estate Q3 Q4 getting our uh

suck uh business up and running uh and

operating by the fourth quarter of this

year uh you know after we do this um

millionaire Symposium event seeing if we

want to do and start planning for

another one next year uh so I think if

you're coming to this one you're getting

a lot of value because I have a feeling

that one next year if we do one next

year will be a lot more expensive

because we think we're going to overd

deliver on value this summer but we'll

see we'll see uh and then obviously you

know make sure that while you have these

goals you also make sure you balance

time with friends and family and keep

that negativity out of your life the

negative Nellies the ne clouds the

naysayers try to shut that out a lot of

people hitting us up for shadowing again

so you can follow me and travel with me

as we explore real estate we're doing

that scheduling those again for the

third and fourth quarter so if you want

to join that would be the time to do

that email us at staff atme kevin.com if

you have questions on shadowing and for

now what I'd like to do to sort of end

it out with this keep the negative

Nellies out of your life is I'd like to

play this Sizzle testimonial reel that

uh our editor put together so go ahead

and play that now and and uh it's really
