And try going on a vacation!

The reasons to wonder are seemingly endless.  

also when you're about to go on vacation... I think someone just send an email to the universe telling everyone to start calling!

It's a phenomonon called the Feast or Famine Phenomonon! 
I could probably explain it astrologically.

But let's just go with . . . it's a thing!

LOL, I know this is counter to the normal mindset here where we talk about marketing non-stop but my phone always rang to much Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS 

Same as when you are in the bathroom. #LiveStreaming #YepUrineAConvo

I prefer being engaged in life, so the phone ringing let's me know that someone cared enough to pick up the phone and dial my number (even though that is frequently a telemarketer).. after all, an idle mind is a dangerous place to linger...

Murphy's Law!

Had not noticed this, good to hear that you know how to make yours ring.

Murphy's Law and it's a test of patience

Yes, I'm in total agreement on that.  Everyone tries to call when I'm busy or when I'm on vacation or going on vacation. 

It reminds me of the ocean. On the surface one way underneath another

Be thankful for those calls whenever they come.

I do not.  I am grateful that the phone rings.  It's a good thing. 

Busy brings busy... It never fails. And if i am slow which is rare, i go on a short vacation and no doubt will get buried in new leads. 

That is the nature of business. Now have another agent taking over when I am overloaded.

Ah yes, Mr. Murphy says these are sophisticated problems to have in business.

Paul,

It is one of those things we all agree on and repeat over and over again, and the universe obliges...You can break this phenomenon....A

The only phones that ring are those of people doing stuff.

The feast or famine of most agent business cycles reflect that. The activity surrounding the business we do, creates more opportunity. When the inventory is sold....crickets.

Level out the peaks and valleys.

Yes, that does makes perfect sense! 

yes, what is that called?

The more you work, the more you work.  In other words, business leads to more business.

That's why when you are busy, the phone rings.  But when you spend your days on the couch watching TV, the phone doesn't ring.

Note that frequently, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS ... the phone rings at the convenience of the caller, not the called ...

My therapist recommends that I go on vacations 52 weeks a year. She claims it would be the best year ever

It is called life and learning to accept it is an ongoing challenge!

Happens went ever I go on vacation
