Don’t Follow The Money.

In a serious Dip.  Normal stuff.

In my early stages of helping mortgage people, it occurred to me: don’t they deserve more than a lender doing it part time?  I think they do. 

I’ve got a clear definition of what I want to do–and that’s to help people’s ideas grow.  To help small businesses, and mavericks, and “offices unto themselves” succeed.  I want to make money doing it, but that’s an ~aside. 

I never want to be a “life coach,” or even a “one-on-one coach.”  I  want to create products and services that absolutely, positively make small businesses rock.  The 2.0 world means that

But if I’m going to hold myself out as someone who can help–I know I’ve been there before–I need to hitch my wagon to that star.   Be all in, with both feet, body soul and strength.  Do one thing, be the best in the world at it.

Effort–putting yourself out there to serve–is sacred positively sacred.  The reason that the Mortgage Industry Imploded…was because a lot of people were in it for the money.  Didn’t give a rats ass about the industry, their clients, the people…just 3 out the front, 3 out the back, legal maximum….whatever.

There is something noble about the industry.  People going to war for their clients on everything. 

People being unwilling to be kept.

A TINY spark of creativity at minimum is in everyone in the industry.  I want to help that spark with real good stuff.  Stuff as good and better than what Dave Savage (the biggest non out of touch trainer) is putting out. 

And do I want to stick to the mortgage industry exclusively?  I don’t think so.  What I want to do is create bootstrapping methods for mortgage, insurance, financial planning, and OTHER businesses.

For now, though, I want to sleep.
