Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. ― Tony Robbins



 President's Corner

       When you read interviews with successful note professionals you will find a common denominator is a "glass half full" type of personality. For those who tend to look at things in a "glass half empty" way I would like to offer some simple ways to change your thinking.

          Expect miracles, they do happen, but mostly to those who believe in them.  Amuse yourself by practicing the art of childlike-ness.  Keep your mind on the cusp of curiosity. Be grateful and write down names of people and things that are blessings in your life and read these at night to put you in a positive state for sleep. Reframe abd look at things in different ways. You might like the view from a different angle. Sing happy songs by making a playlist of songs that elicit happy memories. If you feel yourself slipping into negative territory, play the songs and sing along.  Move the furniture - a couch, a desk or bed may give you a different viewpoint, helping you to see things from another angle. Change your surroundings often, it keeps you fluid. Take a tourist day by making a list of great places your city has to offer then take a day and go sightseeing. Dress like a tourist and bring your camera for an instant vacation.

          Trying to stay positive in a negative world isn't easy. Hope these tips help you stay positive and keep moving forward! Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Negotiations

       Most people believe that the goal of negotiation is to get all you can – to vanquish the "opponent" as if you were at war. But negotiation isn’t war. It’s trying to reach an agreement. And the goal should always be to make both sides come out winners – because that way you can continue to work together smoothly... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          I am a retired financial sales guy (equipment leasing), and would like to get involved in note brokering, however I sense it has become pretty tough due to the numbers of folks involved. I know the effort that I had put into my previous business, so I would appreciate a response from a veteran like you, if I were to invest 20 hours per week to marketing, and spend $500/mo for the first 6 months is there opportunity in this business? I know you are busy, so not expecting more than just a reasonable honest answer. Thank you!

                                                     ~ David
A - Hi David!

          Thanks for the email!  This is a business like any another. It takes knowledge, skill, effort and some money to get started and let's not forget persistence and perseverance. The note business is a huge numbers game, again just like any other business. Competition or not a note brokers job is to get notes coming across their desk to get some of them to accept an offer and then close a transaction. My statistics this year in 2015 tells me I need to look at 37 notes to get one to the closing table. That's just me, eight years ago it was 20 to 1. Most of the competition these days is internet based. So I still stick with my marketing plan of direct mail, classified ads, direct contact, networking and of course internet and web presence too. Dedicating 20 hours per week is great! $500 per month could give you a small 300-500 direct mail letters per week and then a lot of your time will be networking, direct contact and building referral sources (those things don't cost much except for business cards).

          Not sure if you have already done this but visit us at www.armstrongcapital.com and click on "Note Brokers". There you can get lots of free information, read articles http://www.armstrongcapital.com/Article-list.htm, sign up for our free weekly email Note-able Newsletter and browse through our other resources and services.
