Processor Independence Day

Once again, it is a good time to remind ourselves why we do what we do. As you all know, I am a big proponent for doing everything and anything to build our business up to its full potential. I am also a bigger proponent for spending time with our loved ones over the holidays, and I place a great importance on time off.

I stated the following over the Christmas holiday this year:

“One of my goals this year is to help as many of you become as successful as you should be without forgetting what is important. We do not need to sacrifice what is important in order to have success. One of the purposes of my article is to point out ways to do more in less time and grow our businesses to their full capacity without working our fingers to the bone.”

How are we doing?

It has been a tough year in the mortgage industry, but at times like this I am thankful for the little things.

So do yourselves a favor. Go home on Thursday and don’t think about the mortgage industry for three solid days. Make some memories that count. Taking the time will ensure that we return fresh and new for the remainder of the second half of the year.


Remember – when you develop strong relationships at home you carry yourself differently at the office. You are more confident, people trust you more, and you have the energy to do more in shorter periods of time.

Let’s hit the second half of the year hard and make sure that we take the entire week between Christmas and New Years off. After all - are loans more important then time spent with family over the holidays?

Remember - Your reputation is your business.

Happy Processing!!!
