Chris good follow up and very true. Rather than looking for some great new thing try focusing on the things that have worked.

The main point of your article is correct. If you want to succeed in this day and age you have to focus. I used to do construction loans and this loan and that loan. I never worried about a limited market. Now I am focused on FHA and VA. I am doing better but still this is very hard times for me. BTW I read that originations for next year are estimated to be less than this year. So strap in.

In hindsight, the obvious is, well, obvious. After searching continuously for the silver bullet these past two years, trying this trick and that method i finally settled on what has worked for the past 17 years.

I now focus on my existing client base and literally ask them what their concerns are. I stay in touch with them and they respond to the "after the deal" concern and look for new business for me.

Chris is without a doubt correct. If you can't restrict your focus to only one aspect of your business, then seriously limit your efforts to very few. You'll have more energy and I believe get a greater response, the kind you were hoping for in the first place.

Chris, What a well written article. So true about picking one thing and not getting so sidetracked with all the other distractions. I think I just figured out I have ADD, been chasing too many shiny objects.

@Colorado Mtg Rates – which was the last thing you “left” for something better? Did you implement the item you left before bringing something new? Just curious =0)

Very nicely put Chris, I strongly agree with all of the mortgage seminars and speakers that I have seen over just the past 4 years (11 in the business) that we as mortgage professionals tend to jump on the "latest and greatest"-way to keep it real!

-Thanks Chris!
