Reflecting on 2007 - Preparing for 2008
Every year at about this time I sit down and reflect on the past year, and prepare for the year to follow. I take note of what I have done well over the last year, what I have learned, what my greatest achievements were, and how I can continue to grow as a person.
2007 was an especially good year for me. I finished my first book and sold over 1500 copies of it, even though there was a two month period in the height of the selling season where I was completely out of books. I fully expect my book to reach best seller status by the end of next year, all without it ever touching a bookstores shelf. I also began what has turned into a very profitable venture back into the mortgage industry. I took on the role of Managing Partner with MortgageBrokers.com and successfully built a self sustaining referral network and team of four (soon to be five) hungry and very talented mortgage associates. With my foray back into the mortgage industry, I also succesfully launched asknolan.com, a web based information portal for the mortgage, real estate, and finance industries.
2008 looks even brighter, there are an additional 3 books which are planned to be released in 2008, one golf related, one finance related, and an additional title which will essentially take the lessons of Golf Balls Don’t Float and put them into a format that everyone can enjoy. In addition there has been a keynote created based on Golf Balls Don’t Float that is perfect for any sales organization. On the mortgage side of things, asknolan.com will continue to take on a refined form, and we expect to grow our team to a total of 10.
2008 looks to be a phenomenal year, look for the up and coming post on goal setting for the new year.
