Worst Case Scenarios, Perspective, & Lots of Smiles

Written by Jenn Theone | Jan 24, 2018 8:17:28 PM

What's the worst case scenario you can think of… be you a loan officer, a mother of three, a borrower, or just someone hoping to make a change in your life? Not the most fun thing to think about, is it? 

This week, while in Guatemala, Ken and his mortgage industry peers are faced with "worst case scenarios” while trying to help orphans, build a school, and provide assistance to struggling familes. Sort of puts our mortgage industry concerns over declining margins and shrinking inventory in perspective, doesn’t it? What Ken's learning in Guatemala is that regardless of our circumstances, we can smile anyway by gaining perspective on our lives. These struggling mothers have chosen to train their children to appreciate what they have, rather than lamenting what they don't. Maybe there’s a lesson in that for all of us, even here in the US mortgage industry… right?
