Automobile University
Written By: Karen Deis
I wouldn't call myself a "Seminar Junkie", but I try to attend at least 3 or 4 seminars per year. While one or two of the seminars are always mortgage related, I make sure that several of them have nothing to do with the mortgage business. Seminars - that have nothing to do with our industry - are where I usually find the biggest break-thrus.
What do I mean by that?
Attending a seminar that has NOTHING to do with the mortgage industry can be extremely profitable and rewarding because it gives you the opportunity to "swipe" successful ideas (used in other professions) - and "adapt" them to your mortgage business!
I had the opportunity to attend a seminar where Zig Ziglar was one of the speakers.

QUOTE from Zig Ziglar:
A formal education will earn you a living.
Self-education will earn you a FORTUNE.

He went on to discuss a concept called "Automobile University". Since loan officers spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours commuting each working day, why not put that time to good use and listen to tapes and CD's that are motivational, informational or inspirational. Zig went on to say that listening to tapes and CD's for an hour a day for 5 years, is equivalent to two years of college education - at a fraction of the cost.
With that in mind, we are introducing a new feature called "Automobile University" where we will periodically recommend tapes and audio CD's referred by you and our advisory board members that have helped them with both their personal and professional lives.

The very first audio book that we recommend is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The audio CD (abridged version) is $16.07 and the Audio Tape (abridged version) is $12.57 at www.Amazon.com. Napoleon Hill was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to interview 504 of the most successful men in order to find, through their experiences, a success formula that would work for the average man. "Think and Grow Rich" is the summary of his 20-year project for Carnegie. The book was first published in 1937 and many of his observations still apply today.
