This Sub Prime mortgage situation is a mess. One thing is clear - there are a lot of people looking for direction. Lenders are looking for direction, brokers are looking for direction and individuals are looking for direction.

Where do you go at a time like this? Here’s what I do: Get a cup of coffee or tea, get a pen and legal pad and find a quiet place to sit for a while and start thinking.

Here are 10 questions I want you to ask yourself and actually answer on the paper:

1. What is the one thing you like to do most?

2. What is the one thing you like to do least?

3. What do you like to talk about most?

4. What do you like to talk about least?

5. What is your greatest strength?

6. What is your greatest skill?

7. What is your best talent?

8. When you were growing up, what was your greatest dream?

9. What is your greatest dream, now?

10. If you wanted to do any one thing with the rest of your life, what would it be?

As you go through this process, you’ll begin to see some things appearing on the paper in front of you that can define what your next move will be. But you have to act on it. It’s going to be hard but you’re not getting any younger.

When you’re finished, take that paper and post it where you can see it everyday. Feel free to change it and modify it. After all, you probably weren’t honest the first time around.

As you see this sheet of paper daily, your mind will begin to go to work to make it happen and bring people and situations into your life that will steer you towards it. It’s a small step but small steps are the one’s that count. Feel free to email me with your progress. I’m rooting for you and I believe in you!
