This particular post was suppose to be published yesterday. However, exhaustion set in and I took an early nap. That is what happens when you get old. So, a day late and a dollar short is better than not at all I think. It is all in the effort.
Effort is something that we all have a tendency to give. With that being said, there are some people that just go through the motions and never put forth the effort. I asked a fellow loan officer what they were doing to make money today. I was shocked when he said that he would wait around in his office till 4 or 5 for the phones to ring. I asked him what he was doing to make the phones ring. He said that he would call 10 people and then wait for a return call.
Point is, he gives minimal effort and expects maximum output. It does not work that way. We have to put forth the maximum effort and expect a minimal output. If we do it that way, then we can get back to making money.
I hope that you find some inspiration in the quotes below. If you can put forth the effort, please click on the pictures. They will open another world for you.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, this time more wisely.

Great changes may not happen right away, but with effort even the difficult may become easy.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

The only job where you start at the top, is digging a hole.
