One Common Habit Of Most Successful Mortgage Professionals
The one common habit of all successful mortgage people is their insatiable desire to continually educate and motivate themselves.
Successful mortgage people never stop reading, listening, and watching material that fills their minds with new thoughts and new ideas. They're always looking for ideas to improve their focus, their memories, their business acumen, and both their mental and physical well-being. They just never ever stop educating themselves.
It is this desire that sets them apart from the rest of us. A gentleman by the name of Jim Rohn is quoted as saying:
"Rich people have big libraries...poor people have big TVs."
Now isn't that a bold statement? But, let's not get offended, I happen to have a good size TV just like you. And unfortunately, my library isn't particularly large either.
When you think about it, the mortgage profession requires no formal education as a prerequisite, no formal training, in some states no licensing, and if licensing is required...only a very minimal class room requirement prior to testing. Plus, if you work for a lender, licensing may never be an issue for you.
And finally, if your state does require licensing and is like my state of Florida, only 14 hours of continuing education is required at license renewal time, which is every two years. Do you really think that seven (7) hours of education a year will put you in the position as "that mortgage person with all of the right answers?" I don't think so!
