Drifting, Driven, or Directed; Which One Are You?

So many of you , my referral partners and industry friends, know that I am a coach for THE #1 lender/realtor coaching firm in the nation (www.thecoretraining.com). We are right now at the biannual summit in Orlando. Day 1 just ended, and I have so many notes I could go home right now!
 
An important nugget I will share to you for free! Today we talked about everyone is either one of three things: Drifting, Driven, or Directed. Which one are you? We are all three. Its human nature! It's common to weave in and out of all of them at given points in time.
 
Let me give you a hint. You want to strive to be more directed. It can be in the form of being directed by God, your spouse, your pastor, your boss, etc. We all have to answer to someone. If we do not, and are just driven, it can lead to selfishness, and chaos. Drifting leads to chaos as well.
 
So...what is the solution?  Structure. That's why I am addicted to the Core training, and why I send you info on their webinars, etc. Pay attention to my stuff! I am handing you these nuggets on a silver platter for free guys. Our students pay $2500/mo to get this information.
 
Bottom line, you need to hang around me. I want to earn your trust. I want to be your trusted lender and mortgage consultant. I want to take care of you and your clients, and let my team give them an AMAZING experience, so you get another current client referral.
 
Hope to hear from you soon.

Recent Flooding in Houston; Here's How You Can Help!!!

This week's column  is dedicated to information about our city's recent  flooding. Be sure to SCROLL DOWN for info from FEMA and how to help!
 
What a week it has been in the Houston area. For our out of town readers, Monday we were pounded by rain. There are areas that have never flooded, that flooded, and I mean flooded. The Houston metro area  is infiltrated with 10 bayous , of which EIGHT overflowed their banks within 24 hours. Incredible devastation.  I'm a native Houstonian, and never has there been such extensive damage.
 
How you can help:
Here are some useful links about what to do after a flood. Please pass to someone in need!
Stay safe! Stay dry!
