Seneca (5BC-65AD) - Was a Roman dramatist, philospher and politician. He also would have made an excellent sales trainer and Loan officer. This week we will look at some of the man's famous quotes that still relate to our livelihoods 2000 years later.
“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”
It has been said that adversity is a business and emotional physical fitness program. Make no mistake, we all dread adversity, but it may be the best learning tool of them all for Loan Officers. Those of us with extensive experience in mortgage lending can tell you without hesitation that most of the best lessons they have obtained over the years arose out of difficulty.
So next time the "adversity bug" bites you, embrace the opportunity as an opportunity for short-term pain and long term gain!
