Money isn’t the issue anymore!
People fail to succeed for only one of two reasons; they either don’t know what they are supposed to do, or they won’t do what they are supposed to do. Coaching has always been a way to help people learn the first part, knowing what to do, and then help guide them toward actually doing what they are...
Are you finding solutions or making excuses?
It’s very disappointing to see that many in the mortgage and real estate industries are much more interested in making excuses for their lack of performance than finding the solutions behind their shortfalls! You would think that given everything that has gone on in 2023, that nobody sold a house or...

Plan, Do, Review, Adjust, Redo!
You all know that I am very committed to business planning and scheduling. Knowing what you are trying to accomplish and then plotting the course and scheduling the work is a foundational part of what I share with my clients.

Lower rates can become a challenge!

The numbers are what they are!

I bring this up in wake of those that are telling me that more and more of their real estate agents and coworkers are taking part time jobs beca...
Last but not least!
We have about a week or so left to put together and close deals in 2023. Everyone should be beating the bushes and shaking the trees to take advantage of the opportunities available and the ability to exercise your speed advantage to help those who really need to get things done before the year ends...
Your message matters
Just a couple of weeks left to get deals in and get them closed before the end of the year! Those coming in to start the process may be few, but they are serious! Buyers coming in today will also have a short window of opportunity as other potential buyers choose to sit on the sidelines in December ...
The motivation of the situation!
Happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend! I hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday. Today I wanted to share some thoughts about this time of year and how often overlooked the opportunities are for us in the mortgage and real estate arena. I like to call this window, Thanksgiving through the middle...
Will the FED get the message?
Here we go, yet another FED rant by yours truly! CPI numbers on Tuesday were very good for the bond market and we saw a huge improvement as rates fell significantly. PPI numbers on Wednesday were also pretty favorable as well, even though the bond market rose, and we gave back some of the gains we s...
