We
all need a little motivation and inspiration and I thought this
was a great article for doing just that. There are still great
opportunities available to us in today's market...we just need a
positive mindset...
If
you're like me and most folks, you probably made some New Year's
resolutions. We all have the best intentions when we think about
the days and weeks ahead, but if we don't make some changes, then
nothing else will change either...
You've
probably heard this common expression many times, I’ll believe
it when I see it. In reality, life really works the other way
around...you’ll see it happen when you believe it...
The
economy is shifting. New challenges confront us and our Mortgage
Business every single day. There are even factors working that we
have no control of. If you feel as though you are loosing your
grip, the following may help...
How
many unpleasant tasks are languishing on your “To Do” list?
You know...the ones you really hate doing so you put them at the
bottom of your list and, eventually they are carried over to your
next list, and the list after that. We thought the
following was great advice to follow.
When property values continued to increase? When mortgage programs were wide and varied? When credit and the credit markets actually worked? When there where lenders galore in the marketplace? When homes sold and folks refinanced their properties? When begging for loans (loan modifications) wasn't necessary?
As you know, things are much different, and...the mortgage market will remain a struggle for a long time. The mortgage industry has been destroyed...Hundreds of Lenders have left the business with the majority of them closing their doors...Loan Officers, Mortgage Brokers, and Real Estate Brokers/Agents have moved to their plan B...their alternative career.
As of late, dozens of people have asked me questions about improving their Mortgage Business. Although the majority of these came from “mature” businesses, interestingly, some also came from new start-up’s in the business.
As old as the above “lemon” advice may be...there is truth in those old words. The key to success is knowing how to give yourself and your Mortgage Business a second chance.
This article was written by Douglas Goodey, an 80 year old who went from $4.5 million in debt to a worth over $20 million. I think that it's well worth reading...and even taking notes...because these mistakes can impact your Mortgage Business.
