This is not a success story, but since I was privileged to win a gold
membership, I wanted to share what I have been doing for the past month
with you so that you know I have been working (and you can’t fire me).
Okay, here is what I have been up to since the Unfair Advantage Workshop…
I am reading two books from the library on reverse mortgages.
I talked to my boss (broker) about doing reverse mortgages. He said he
would help me learn and do some meetings if I want to.
I got my NARLO membership.
I looked into and signed up to start a CSA self-study course. I also
began the CSA course.
I signed up to do volunteer work with seniors (they want a one year
commitment, but I need a few hours for my CSA anyhow).
I go to every meeting and school event that I can, dressed up, so I can
get to know more people in my community. This is an excellent time of
year to meet lots of parents because of year end events.
I began a blog on mortgages. I also plan to write articles, more blog
posts, or post a few of your pre-made ones, etc., when I have time, or
when I schedule it in my calender.
I applied to be a notary public so I can be of more service and meet
more people.
I watched some videos and read some articles on the LOF site.
I got on facebook. Again, to reconnect and get to know more people. I
plan to get on the other sites as soon as I have some time. Hopefully I
can make some local contacts and they will like me, and remember me in a
good way.
I started reading the book Influence, the power of persuasion by Cialdini.
I am doing some more (other) self-improvement daily.
I am studying the reverse mortgage information from the lenders, and
practicing on mock cases. Also began having weekly meetings with my boss
about our plan of action in this category.
I am going to place a specific ad for reverse mortgages with my boss, as
soon as I know the answers about, and am comfortable with reverse
mortgages. We will also do free seminars at the senior center or the
library.
I went to a financial seminar last weekend sponsored by the local radio
station and met a few financial experts and an estate attorney whom I
will hopefully befriend further to exchange referrals. There will be a
free estate planning seminar next Saturday that I will also attend.
Yes, I have been very busy, I think. Yes, I am still doing my CMA
certification course (something I was working on prior to your workshop,
and only need one more course to be done). And yes, I do work, have a
family to take care of, and cook dinner ever night. As for the
cleaning, I manage on the weekends, but let it slide during the week.
Which reminds me that I need to organize my desk and get some more file
folders ASAP.
I am still very excited about the new possibilities I have with reverse
mortgages, and some other areas that you mentioned. I understand more
what steps I need to take to get my income rolling like a big snowball.
Hopefully I have begun to take the correct steps so far. I have a lot
more planned out.
Thanks for your training and the words of wisdom that you shared with us.
I would like to share with you and your members my success story of how you helped me reinvent myself in a radically changing market.
Having been in the mortgage business since 1981, I had seen several downturns over the last 28 years. I have always made more money in the downturns by doing loans.
However, this current economic downturn took the subprime market away and drasticall changed the way we process and fund loans on the conventional and governemnt side. I am still funding those loans, but my volume of loans has decreased substantially.
Thankfully, I saw the Economic Meltdown coming and realilzed that a lot of people in all economic levels would be negatively affected by excess debt, mortgages they would not be able to to continue to pay and decrease in their credit scores .
I believed that this curent economic situation would provide an opportunity for me to help many families find solutons to these problems.
After researching the market (and applying techniques and suggestions learned from my Mortgage Mentor, Brian Sacks at a a Platinum Meeting in 2008), I found a company who could provide the back room processing of the products I wanted to use to help financially troubled families.
After completing my research, I aligned myself with an attorney based firm who has been doing Debt Settlement and Credit Restoration for 15 years and Loss Mitigation for 2 years. Their success rate with their clients was unmatched and they were legally compliant in each of the 47 states they did business!
As Brian would say, “Carve out a niche in the marketplace and let everyone know what you do”!
Well, I did! In fact, I developed my Financial Solutions Seminar which I have taken all over the country. We are savng families from Bankruptcy and Foreclosure by Modifying Mortgages they no longer can afford, settling credit card debt at 50% or more and restoring low credit scores.
There’s nothing more gratifying than saving a family’s home from foreclosure and the Bankruptcy court.
We helped a family with a $5600 mortgage payment and 9% adjustable mortgage to a $2400 payment and 3% fixed rate for 3 years and 4% fixed rate for 27 years.
We helped a family with $100,000 in credit card debt with a 25% average APR and a $3,000 minimum payment be able to pay off the entire debt at 50% or less with a $1,319 per month payment in just 4 short years.
We helped a family breadwinner with a 576 Credit Score increase his score over 100 points to 681. He was then able to qualify for a FHA loan to buy his family’s first home and take advantage of the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit and a low 5.25% fixed interest loan.
Boy, talk about happy, excited clients. We solved their financial problems!
And I owe it all to Brian Sacks, who shared his wisdom with me and pointed me in the direction of a Financial Solutions niche which has enabled me to help hundreds of American Familiies.
The best part is I am providing Mortgage Company Owners who host my Financial Solution Seminars with 3 additional streams of income as I teach them how to sell the products their clients need to solve their financial problems. This additional income is helping them make up the income they have lost from the reduced loan volume.
And, listen to what Brian has to say! He is an absolute genius at helping you carve out a niche, even in a Economic Meltdown as we are all experiencing!

Does anyone know when the CRM will be available?
The CRM should be available within the next week to 10 days.
John
We are putting the final touches on it and hope to have it done in the next 30 days
