Secret of Success

Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 FHA, CHFA, VA Mortgages NMLS #65149

There are people that make a very good living, telling other people how to be successful.  Success seems to be treated as some great mystery, but I fail to see what the great mystery is. To me the formula is pretty simple, but doing it is NOT.

All the successful that I know have these thing in common:

1) They have a plan.

2)  They work their plan

3)  They don't let other things distract them from their plan

4)  They do all the little things that others are not willing to do

5)  They are constantly in touch with their customer base

6)  They make their clients feel like they are the only client they have

7)  They always have the time

8)  They return their phone calls right away

9)  They are always up to date in what is happening in their field

10) And the most important one to me they enjoy what they are doing, it isn't work to them.

I am sure that there are other things that you feel could be added to this. Please comment on them and add them to this Blog.

But the bottom line is Hard Work = Success.

and whether you talk to them on the phone or through email, they always appear to have a "smile" on their faces if you know what I mean.

Don you are absolutely right.  It does not do any good if you have the greatest plan in the world but do nothing about it.

Good list George! I would add, have a positive attitude.  Attitude affects everything.  I think it really makes a difference.
