First Quarter Review!
Hard to believe that we are already through the first quarter of 2025 and much of what is going to happen for us in the second quarter is already in the system or soon to be. Yes, wrap your mind around the fact that you can already see all of your first quarter income and a big chunk of that is alre...
Welcome to March Madness!
Â
While the Superbowl may just be the single most watched event on a single day, and the World Cup may have the largest viewership amongst the countries around the world; March Madness captures more total views, more teams, more games, for more hours, that have the most brackets, by the most people...
March Forward!
Some people look at March as the beginning of the end of winter. Others look at March for the incredible spectacle of “March Madness”. I have always looked at March as a barometer of my activity and the first reflection point of the year.

Has Spring begun to have sprung?
I know the ground hog said six more weeks of winter. I am also aware of the miserable weather in many parts of the country. However, I am also seeing an increasing number of people seeking pre-approvals or asking about programs and costs. While winter weather may still be with us, it appears that th...

As much as I warn you to verify the information you see ...
Tax time is TALK TIME!
In just a few days people will begin the process of completing their tax returns in hopes of securing a large refund. For many Americans, these tax refunds are the largest amount of money that they will see at any point in time. This makes it extremely critical that you share this very important inf...
Talk, Text, and Task, how to win in 2025!
You can’t win if you don’t communicate effectively. Unfortunately, too many people fail to understand the value in just TALKING to people. I know it is easier just to text and move on, but just like email, you can end up in a death spiral of the dreaded “text chain”. Just like we saw with email, the...
