In case you didn't see The Mortgageland Journal's 50th monthly Edition this month, here's a copy of one of the articles in our newsletter:
Broker Crossroads - Adopting A Successful Mindset
Soon you will evolve from being a 'sit at home in your jammies with the bunny feet slippers' level of "professionalism" into an actual owner/operator of a real live actual business. One with hard assets, liabilities, and a net worth too! With the New Year upon us, now's the time for a change and to adopt a successful mindset so you can get there!
You'll hire a helper/assistant/processor type, then maybe a loan officer or two. Right at the point in your own growth, you'll become SHOCKED at what it's really like to be in business! If you're smart, you'll learn all the (non LO/sales kinda) stuff necessary to be a good entrepreneur. That's a much bigger step, then you may realize today.
Soon after that (if you make it through stage two), you'll be faced with doing Zero Loan Production yourself - and managing a growing/training cheerleader side of running a bona fide successful business (stage 3). If you get lucky, and the cycles of the economy and rates, etc. don't kill you along the way, you will have finally "arrived."
Having taken that journey, it can be treacherous, and definitely scary sometimes - we wish all of you the best! As this writer did it, I had no mentor to ask stuff, no partner, or investors, etc. to help me. The Board of Directors was just me looking into the mirror (I would stand in front of two of them, turn one sideways 45 degrees sometimes, so I could see dozens of me, sort of like in an old fashioned barber shop) - ya know what we mean?
OK now what, right? It's never too early to start to "think like a big-shot" (stage 3 person). You're encouraged to do just that - start today – it's a new year. Since you can grow to that level in only a couple of years (if you put your mind to it), pretend you actually own and operate a (size) 60+ employee salaried & big ‘fixed in concrete overhead' firm, 15,000+ square foot operation, $400,000+ monthly fixed overhead (kind of makes you not want to sleep at night when there's little or no biz for months on end)!
Then ask yourself, what don't you know right now to be able to step into those shoes? And, do I really want to do that anyway? If you think about it for a while, you'll see there's a ZILLION things you don't know yet ... so start to learn those things this week. It's time for a change! You need to Reach Higher! We recommend accessing an experienced mentor or consultant who can guide you through these issues. I've had mentors & consultants save me thousands, and helped me make millions … and you certainly can as well.
It's time to stop sitting there and thinking about it, and take action now! We recommend looking at your ‘knowledge base professionals' resources, and choosing according to background and experience. You'll get there faster & smoother (you'll be glad later).
