BUSINESS PLANNING CAN BOOST YOUR CAREER AND FOSTER PERSONAL GROWTH
BY MANDI FEELY
At Premier Mortgage Resources, business planning is at the heart of our culture. This is because we want our loan officers to succeed, and we have proven time after time that success comes with planning. Your business plan should serve as a blueprint and living document for your success in the next year. Without goals and daily directives for the year, a loan officer can flounder, lacking the accountability and drive to finish at the top. A business plan is truly the secret sauce to taking your mortgage career to the next level and sustaining the growth and success that comes with that. To put it simply, loan officers who invest in laying the groundwork get ahead. A business plan puts ideas onto paper systematically and strategically, supplying the necessary oxygen that promotes business health and prosperity. A business plan also reflects an individual’s philosophy
and values as a business professional and unique individual. After all, it’s the person with the plan who usually gets ahead.
A business plan steers you in right direction
Imagine running an important meeting without an agenda or ordering food at a restaurant without menus. It just won’t quite work. Mortgage leaders also need a comprehensive guide for prosperity. Put together correctly, a business plan is like a tour guide who slows things down to explain while also getting you to the destination. A business plan is a single document but packed with business details, planning, strategy, business structure, and other guidance. A traditional plan requires a lot of time upfront given how meticulously detailed it will be. In the long run, it’ll be worth it, as a plan can also establish benchmarks that gauge performance over weeks or quarters
