How to Have Certainty in an Uncertain Market

How does the song go…”another one bites the dust.” I’m saddened right now that some key mortgage companies and banks are going out of business. Big ones and smaller ones alike – the fall of the mortgage industry is not biased per se. Some companies are getting blindsided. Some perhaps could have avoided this. But make no mistake, we are in real times and the collateral damage is very real. It may be masked by the false sense of sustainable success because of the refinance volume over the last five months but if you don’t get back to some smart planning and doing, you could be doomed.

So how do you have certainty in times of uncertainty? Plant seeds like you have never planted before. There’s an excerpt from The Season’s of Life by Jim Rohn I stumbled on called The Spring:

Following the turbulence of winter comes the season of activity and opportunity called spring. It is the season for entering the fertile fields of life with seed, knowledge, commitment and a determined effort. It is not a time to linger, nor to ponder the possibilities of failure. Foolish is the one who would allow springtime to pass while dwelling upon the memory of the successful crop last fall or the failure to reap last fall in spite of the massive efforts last spring.

It is a natural characteristic of springtime to present itself ever so briefly or to lull us into inactivity with its bounteous beauty. Do not pause too long to soak in the aroma of the blossoming flowers, lest you awaken to find springtime gone, with your seed still in your sack.

Good luck as you prepare for the harvest
