Herding Cats

Sometimes business and life is a lot like herding cats. You tell clients and kids what they shoud do and then they go off and do the opposite. Since the pandemic began last year we have been going out for groceries once a week on Friday’s. My kids take this as personal challenge to eat any and all remaining food that we have in the house on Thursday just so the cupboard is bare come Friday.

Also on the business side, to all those who are not in the mortgage business they think it’s a predominantly an analytical endeavour where it’s mostly about numbers. While knowing numbers does play a significant role in this business it is largely a people business. You see every client is different and has their own needs, requirements and personal history. By listening and hearing them out it makes them that much easier to help.

Today I am thankful for the fact that it is finally grocery day, challenges with clients have been overcome by listening to their needs and requirements and technology that allows me to keep relationships going with friends oversea’s.
