A DAY OF REFLECTION
With today being the anniversary of that fateful day in September of 2001, I have found myself drifing into moments of reflection all day. At first, I was focused on the heroism of the people who provided assistance to others, then I focused on the families that were left behind. Then ... for some reason... he reflection turned inward. I wondered how I've changed since then. At first, it was also personal changes, then I started to reflect on how my business has changed.
Back on that fateful day, I was frustrated because I was working for somenone else. I was trying to figure out what direction I should go in. Three years later, i was a mortgage loan officer. Back then I was on fire. I was a marketing machine. My motto was ATM "ALWAYS THINK MARKETING".. Everywhere I went, I found a way to work in some information about my new profession. I was leaving business cards everywhere, and attending every social event that existed. Even if it was something I wasn't interested in. My face was seen everwhere. my telephone was ringing off the hook, and I was getting business faster than I could learn it. SOOOOOOOO..in my reflection today, I realized that September 11, 2001 marked a life changing event that changed the lives of all of us. I had to think back and try to figure out what has made my business life change. I realized that I have allowed the media and all of the crazy news going around to stifle my business. I have gone from having a phone that never stops ringing to a phone that I check for a dial tone a few times today. Part of my business meltdown has come from the media hype and lender shut downs, but the truth of the matter is... I am the biggest reason. I have lost my never accept a no and ALWAYS THINK MARKETING attitude. Just like those families had to put their lives back together after that unthinkable tragedy, I need to lick my wounds and get myself back into the thick of things. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and i am ready to make it the best....
