Be Prepared

The Boy Scouts have this motto for a reason. Life is much easier if you are prepared for what is potentially coming your way. This also makes it much more manageable when challenges show up out of the blue. So plan for the best but be prepared for the worst as well.

You don’t typically sign up for a marathon having never run prior to the race. You put in the miles ( kilometres for the rest of us) and you train so that you are prepared. Have a big test coming up, you review your notes you took in class and you study so that you are prepared. Long trip coming up, you make sure that your car is all tuned up, check the tires, brakes, exhaust, engine and everything so you are prepared.

If you are in the market to purchase a house, you have to make sure that you are prepared. Long before you want to buy you start saving for your down payment. You manage your credit and make sure all your financial commitments are paid on time as better credit will get you better mortgage rates. Once you are finely ready you seek out a professional like myself and get pre-approved so you can start shopping with confidence.

Today I am thankful for the mortgage course I wrote and passed several years ago in preparation for the new licensing standards here in NS, the years that it has taken me to assemble a group of contacts that enabled me to solve a clients challenge rather quickly and preparing my day’s work in advance so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend.

“You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.” Napoleon Hill

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
