Apply for Scholarships & Free Coaching: Turn On Your Million Dollar Brain Workshops
Written By: Karen Deis
Being in the mortgage industry for 28 years, I have had many occasions to reflect on my career as a loan officer and mortgage company owner. No one achieves greatness (yep, I think I was great!) alone and I was extremely lucky to associate myself with extremely supportive mentors and coaches who not only advised me along the way - but also pushed me to achieve more than I ever thought possible.
I would like to tell you a story!
I had been a loan officer for about 2 years (when I first started, loan officers were paid a salary of $50 per closed loan) and I wanted to attend a seminar in Chicago. The seminar was expensive and I could not scrape up enough money to attend. The company that I worked for did not believe in reimbursing employees' seminar attendance either. I would have given my first-born child (if I had one at the time) to attend. My mentor literally GAVE me the balance of the $1,000 needed for the seminar and hotel. There was no payback required.
That seminar was a first in a series, which helped me develop the consumer- direct marketing tactics that I used day in and day out to generate leads. Over the years, I was able to sustain a production level of $60M per year and provide a great life for my family and me.
I believe in the old saying "the harder you work, the luckier you get!" and I feel extremely fortunate that I have worked with some extraordinary people - therefore getting some lucky breaks as well.
We would like to become your "benefactor"!
