Hooray! It’s Take Your Kids to Work Day

lend-like-your-kids-live-here-take-your-kid-to-work-childOkay, who thought it would be a good idea to bring their kids to work?  It seems a little counterproductive to me.

Maybe, they thought it was a great opportunity for parents to bond with their children while the kids got a chance to see what the heck mom and dad did all day; while they slaved over tough subjects at school. Whatever…

Today is the day when many parents take their children to work.  Unless things are planned properly if your kids are anything like mine were, by 10 AM, they’ll be bored and bugging you to go home or to play on the company computers. Hey, what about system security?

As is the case with anything, it takes planning and execution. One, without the other, doesn’t do much good.

Hopefully, someone in HR took the time to plan out a day of various activities to keep the little ones interested and occupied and there is someone around to execute the plan.

Otherwise, you’ll have a gathering of bored kids with nothing to do and that’s a breeding ground for real problems. Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished. You better be ready.

Planning and execution are a good recipe for success in any endeavor. What’s yours for continued success?

Things are changing fast in mortgage lending. Rates are rising, credit is tightening, products are expanding, refi’s are declining and there is a shortage of homes for sale. Plus, more lenders are vying for a piece of a shrinking pie.

Do you have the products and service to keep your LO’s interested and busy? If not, you may find they drift away to play for another company that will keep them interested.

Are you generating quality, compliant loans? The type of loans you would do for your own children?

Take the time to analyze the situation, create a plan, and then do what needs to be done to properly and timely execute it.

If you are without a plan, you’re planning for failure. If you don’t properly execute your plan, you may be planning your business’s execution.

Have a happy TYKTW day!
