advice: Does Your Competition Hate You? - 06/05/07 02:29 PM
I was reading an article sent to me and it drove home a truly valid point.  If you want people to like you, you must first decide who needs to hate you.
Is it fair to say that finding a soul mate is pretty important?  If so, online dating sites should be full of sparkling witticism as people try to woo their prospects.  As a dater, you have two key ways to communicate something quickly about yourself, your picture and a headline.
With the headline, this is what draws people to your "ad" or in a blogger's case, your post.  In the dating … (9 comments)

advice: How Powerful is Your Blogging? - 05/13/07 09:37 PM
While I was on my last trip, I received an interesting email from Matt Heaton.  He wanted to inform me of a fact I hadn't already realized, and that was related to one of my posts.
You see, Matt tracks the traffic coming into our AR community and is constantly looking at ways to improve AR.  While he was doing his research, he came across an interesting fact.  A lot of the traffic that was being referred into AR from the Search Engines was for the keyphrase "Money Merge Account".  Apparently, my post on this subject, Money Merge Accounts: Are They Really … (10 comments)

advice: Finding Solutions is What It's All About - 04/24/07 10:43 AM
As I went back to flying, I started thinking of whether or not I should continue doing mortgages or focus solely on flying.  I came to the intitial conclusion that maybe I should just close up the origination side of the business and simply offer to speaking and educational events only as my time is very limited.
Then I reminded myself of why I got into the mortgage business to begin with.  It isn't about making money, I can do that many different ways.  It isn't even that I like doing mortgages and in all honesty, I don't like originating loans much.  … (6 comments)

advice: Turbulence - How to avoid it - 12/13/06 09:51 PM
I was just reading and commenting on Karl Christen's post Good offense is always a better defense. As I was formulating my comment, it dawned on me to make this post about what I have learned to avoid turbulence while flying and how it applies to the turbulence he mentions regarding the real estate transaction.
While the turbulence Karl mentions does not directly relate to flying, there are things pilots do to help avoid turbulence, or at least minimize its effects.  Therefore, the focus of this post is on what I do as a pilot and how you can use it in … (4 comments)

advice: Warning - AG Targeting Brokers - 11/19/06 02:33 PM
While reading the Origination News, I read an article highlighting that fact that the Colorado Attorney General was expected to subpoena at least 10 mortgage firms in their area, most of which are loan brokers.  The reason is not about mortgage fraud, but rather about deceptive consumer advertising practices.  I have always wondered how some companies get away with the advertisements they issue, whether in magazines and newspapers, or on the internet.
I personally think it is about time that they start a campaign to reel in those advertising false rates, whether interest or payment, or simply advertising rates that are likely … (27 comments)
