How to Have a Happier 2024!

Ah, a new year. You have your goals, your dreams, and this year you are really going to nail it! It all sounds good…..until it doesn’t. So let me give you some advice from years watching this same drama unfold that will help to make 2024 better for you.

TIP 1: Don’t try to do too much. We always OVER-estimate what we can do in 1 year and UNDER-estimate what we can do in 10 years. If you have not worked out in 6 months, don’t start back with 3 sets of 10 of max weight. And this goes for all your goals…small bites that you actually do and then adding to them is WAY better then trying to do everything in week 1 and flaming out

TIP 2: Have INTEGRITY. Do what you say you will do. You set a goal to do this thing on this day, do it. Stick to it. If you start to find yourself getting distracted stick to the plan. Most plans don’t fail because they are bad, they fail because they are not executed. Do what you say you will do. Period.

TIP 3: EXPECT Disruption. Disruption happens. It happens to all of us. You start back

walking in the morning and then on day 2 you get Covid. You start a new ad campaign at work and then someone hacks your bank account. Don’t crawl up into a shell, ask God “why is this happening to me?”, or just check out. Handle the disruption as expediently as you can and get back to the original plan. If you get Covid, rest, get better and once you are better, get back in the game. Don’t beat yourself up….you didn’t cause it. It is just life. Handle it the best you can and then move on. Often, that disruption becomes a test and a breakthrough in your growth. So enjoy this ride….no matter what the world throws at you, you are still you. You CAN handle it.

To quote the Joker from Batman…..”Why so serious”. It’s just life. It’s fun. Do your best and enjoy it-the ups AND the downs…growth can happen and growth is FUN! Enjoy.

P.S. The Market is BUSY right now. Businesses are getting aggressive, borrowers are

getting active trying to buy property and the lead flow has really spiked over the last few weeks. This December was my strongest closing December EVER. It was mostly SBA and private money-quick closings and SBA Loans that had been denied elsewhere that came to us and got closed. If you absolutely, positively, have to close your loan, you should give me a call. And we often have the BEST RATES as well. Speed, follow up, closing certainty AND great rates. One call does it all-call me today at 512-354-5949 or start here by https://buff.ly/3kdHNlV
