Looking Forward!
The power of looking forward is often lost on those who just move from one day to the next, one week at a time, or just looking at results on a month-to-month basis. These people lose the perspective of the kind of long-range view that can maximize results. Many things must be done in the moment, bu...
Sharing the WINS!
Nothing helps perpetuate success as much as sharing the stories behind the success! People LOVE a great success story. People want to be inspired to try, and nothing is more inspirational than someone seeing a success story about people like themselves accomplishing something they would also like to...
History Repeats!
So much of the mortgage industry is based upon simple rules like, it either works or it doesn’t, or you can either document it, or you can’t! We don’t make the rules, we just navigate each opportunity. The path to success is different, but always we strive for the same conclusion; a closed loan, sat...
The power of persistence!
During a very painful time in my life, I was in a very bad place. A close friend of mine convinced me to go to a convention in San Fransico. I really didn’t want to go. I struggled with everything that was going on, but I made the trip. I firmly believed that that trip may have saved my life. At the...
How 90 days can help make your year!
I am a big believer in business planning and success scheduling. My entire coaching philosophy is rooted in these two prime building blocks.

The issue is REAL! The reality is becoming more and more apparent. Debt is a national problem, and it’s going to get far worse before it gets better! The main culprit is the federal government. NOBODY has more debt on the planet than the United States of America. That debt continues to pressure the ...
Some seemed surprised!
The FED didn’t cut rates and some seemed surprised. Inflation is still an issue, and some seem surprised. Stagflation is now a strong possibility, but some seem surprised. The Treasury department is struggling how to continue to borrow money to feed the debt, but some seem surprised. Housing prices ...
Planning for Summer!
One of the key components of coaching is to be sure that my clients are well scheduled and prepared for things they know are coming. Planning for summer is often overlooked but can make a huge difference in your business. You need to look and prepare for events that are going to take place so you ca...
The Markets Respond
We all know that you can’t fight the FED, but when the FED doesn’t do what people want them to do, the markets are the ones that respond! We spoke a couple of weeks ago about wishing certain people would just keep their mouths shut until AFTER certain actions do or don’t happen. However, we got to s...
Shouldn’t have said that!
Sometimes you say something and you later regret having said it. Sometimes you think you are helping, but then say something that only makes things worse! We have all been in or seen that situation and understand how it happens. But when the person who says it is in a position of power, it can reall...
