Blah, Blah, Blah

So much whining. The economy is in the crapper. Gas is above $4/gallon. Housing prices are declining. The stock market is tanking. Hillary lost.

Who cares. Many moons ago I remember a Mortgage Consultant who was obsessed with the Bond Market. He was a true expert and a great predictor of where rates were heading. This knowledge was surely a good thing and should have made him a stronger sales person. However, he was also a compulsive worrier and freaked out with every bit of bad "bond market" news. It distracted him from things he needed to continue doing to maintain a solid pipeline of business.

All the while, a young gun in the same office, who knew very little about the bond market, honed his sales skills and worked his ass off making new contacts. Within 6 months, he began to surpass the more experienced Consultant - who had a 5 year head start. This should have never happened.

The Bottom Line...Pay less attention to things that are out of your control and focus on the things that will make you money. There is someone out there, right now, who needs your product or service, no matter what the economy is doing. Go find them!!!
