Not true. My systems work when I don't. 

After my mild stroke in late 2018, I literally didn't work for almost 4 whole months-into early 2019, yet I closed 1-2 deals per month with the help of my systems and team.

Systems are supposed to work when you don't otherwise you only have a job and real estate is a business.

Unlike the systems mention, you have to work or you won't get results. You did actually have to set up those systems (work) in order to put it on autopilot.

<----- is over here holding my cursor over the 'like' button waiting for the 'heart' to come up. Woops! Wrong SM site!

Well SOME THINGS do work if we don't . . . if proper intent is set . . . if systems are in place . . . but even then, it's only because we already did all the work!

Did I make zero sense? 
Back to the drawing board! LOL

Yes/No/Yes things definitely are more likely to go my way if I actively work for it but the best "work" I can do is to ask a greater power to clear a path for me and hold my hand as I travel that path Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!

That is true in a lot of ways but i also have systems that work when i do not. But it is rare that i am off to test it. My marketing is working when i am not.

On the surface that might be true, but I have to say that Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor e-Pro, CRS, RCS-D, Vets makes a great point. I've been in that position myself. If you have systems in place you can keep a certain level of momentum going.

That depends - organizational processes can be put into place so that when you're taking time off, everything is covered.

Otherwise, I never expect anyone on my staff to work as hard as I do but, they always rise to the occasion when I take time off!

I would be lost not working because I love my work. On the other hand, I would love to have a system set up when I can no longer work.

That is why "success" is only found before "work" in the dictionary.
