8 keys to success in business—and in life!

Start the day early. Get things done without interruption. Respond to emails.  Do your to-do list, beginning with what you need to accomplish the first two or three hours of the day. Throw in some exercise.

Time block the day. Set aside time for research, contacting clients and prospects, cold calling for new leads, meetings and administrative tasks. Block a half hour each morning for emails, a half hour each afternoon for social media. Use time in the car for some (hands-free!) phone calls.

But keep the schedule flexible. Stay accessible.

Build relationships. Know your clients’ needs and dreams. Communicate constantly. Become their friend. Remember birthdays and anniversaries. Stay in touch after the job’s done.

Pick up the phone. Nothing beats real physical connection. Let people hear the sound of your voice.

Work with the best. Only use outside resources who are the best in their fields.

Stay healthy. Eat well, get some exercise and the sleep you need.

Unwind with your family. Don’t bring work home. Take regular family vacations

Here’s to your continued success—and your best year ever!… Enjoy a great month!

Andrea L. Testimonial

I want to thank you for making the process of establishing a loan so easy for us. As a real estate agent in Denver, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of lenders – I know the good ones from the bad ones. And YOU are definitely one of the “good ones”. For my own home purchase, you can imagine how selective I was in working with a lender on our mortgage. I am so glad that we worked with you and CityWide. It’s no secret that the process of procuring a mortgage is extremely stressful, but you made this process as smooth of a transaction that it could have been and given the fact that we lived in Denver, and Marcus was in the middle of a very hectic travel schedule, you met and EXCEEDED our expectations.

Your attention to detail, your personal attention to us and our needs, and your overall professionalism made the biggest difference and the best possible experience for our family. I will recommend you not only to my friends and family but to my clients who are looking for the highest level of service for their mortgage.

Thanks again Jim for everything you did for us. We are so happy to be back home in Naperville, and in our house, that very much feels like home.
