2010 - The Year of Helping Others

I'm making a sort of revision or addition to my goals for 2010.  If you know me well, I may have already told you this but in addition to everything else, I'm a student at TCU.  I'm working on my business degree as a stepping stone to law school.

No one can work full time while going to college full time without some serious motivation.  Mine is a drive to help others.  I believe that the legal profession needs more people that are focused on helping others.


One thing that I recently realized is that I need to do a better job of helping others now.  I asked myself, how I can help others as a mortgage professional?  I came up with a few places to get started, these are not exhaustive but hopefully they will be a good measuring stick in the months ahead to see how I'm doing.

• Help people reduce their mortgage expense so they can get out of debt faster

• Help people get their mortgage debt paid off faster

• Help people get out of mortgages that are damaging them financially and into the right product

• Help people reach their retirement goals

• Help people pay for college and other expenses effectively

• Help people who are in danger of loosing thier home get into a better mortgage or into a house that better meets their financial needs

• Help people educate themselves about mortgage

Please help hold me accountable to this by asking me how I've helped someone lately.
