reverse mortgage news“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. This popular aphorism underscores the importance of putting action behind our plans and internal promises. During a professional coaching class I attended several months ago one instructor took it a step further stating, “results and intentions always match”.

In Brian Klemmer’s book, “When Good Intentions Run Smack into Reality” he outlines several steps to the path to better results. Here are just a few that we should consider.

Yet the total case number assignments for the related two months of June and July 2016 are the highest for the start of any fiscal year since fiscal year 2014. Individually that is true for July 2016 endorsements but as to June 2016 endorsements, June endorsements have not been as high since June 2013.

    Accountability is critical especially at times like these. Why is our endorsement count so low and who or what is responsible for it.
