Hello everyone: I love this time of year. It's typically slower and I can plan for what I want to do next year. What do you want to do next year? How did 2007 treat you?
2007 was a breakthrough year for me. In spite of the difficult market, I persevered and am looking forward to growing my business in 2008. My goals in 2007 were simple and included:
1) Celebrate your health
2) Celebrate your career
3) Celebrate your marriage
4) Celebrate your faith
I had production goals in 2007 and fell a little short. I think I was a little too optimistic! In '08, I plan to continue with my core thoughts and focus on building even stronger business relationships which should lead to more loans.
What about you? I love Active Rain because it's a great sounding board. I'd like to hear from you about what your plans are for '08. I know I can learn from you-that's why I am an active participant. Happy New Year 3 days early!
