Ten Things That Require Zero Talent… These are Awesome!

Bill Provost · · 1 min read

Usually, my weekly videos are related to real estate and mortgages. But I wanted to share something different after a company call today with Walter Niel (our owner at Franklin Loan Center), and he was talking about the 10 things that require zero talent.

These things are critical! I don’t care who you are or what you are doing… these are the most important things anyone can do.

Here’s the list:

  1. Being On Time
  2. Making an Effort
  3. Being High Energy
  4. Have a Good Attitude
  5. Be Passionate About Things
  6. Using Good Body Language
  7. Being Coachable
  8. Doing a Little Extra
  9. Being Prepared
  10. Having a Strong Work Ethic

These are all seemingly small choices that makes you look good, and you don’t need any talent to implement these strategies!

Together, We Can Make a Difference

Everyone is focused on so much going on in the world right now. But if we all put a lot more focus into these 10 things, it can make a difference. Every person can follow these tips, and we can all elevate our communities together.

I know this is way off topic from anything related to real estate or mortgages. But when we talked about these things on the call today, it really struck me about how helpful this information can be for everyone. Some of the most important traits are things that you don’t learn in college and these things don’t require any talent.

I’m going to post these 10 things on the wall in my office so I can always see a good reminder every day. Everything can be better when you implement these 10 things, especially when you start to fill in the gaps with knowledge and experience in whatever you are focusing on in your life.

That’s my tip for today! As always, I’m here to help if you have questions or need help with your mortgage. Reach out to me any time for personal recommendations.

Have a question about your situation?

Bill is happy to run the numbers for you, with no pressure.

It is a moment for reflection, celebration, and of course, some well-deserved time off with family, friends, and neighbors. But if we are being completely honest, it…

Blame it on AI

In today’s video, I’m excited to have a special guest: my daughter! Earlier today, we were talking about an article I found that shared how mortgage declines are way up compared to this time last year. Maddy works in technology and mentioned that it could have something to do with AI. Understanding How AI Plays…
